Oh Sweet Etta!

We are devastated to announce the sudden passing of our sweet girl Sophietta.

                              Memorial Tribute

It’s with a heavy heart that we are sharing the passing of Etta.   

Charles Dickens once said, “what greater gift than the love of a cat?” and we were gifted beyond measure. 

A rare female orange poofball, Etta brought boundless joy, laughter, and a touch of mischief into our lives from the very moment she entered Glass Academy. 

Etta integrated her fuzzy little butt very quickly into everyone’s lives - whether they wanted her to or not. She was most of everyone’s goofy little friend and the bane of Donna’s existence in the office. The gallery was her play zone, where she broke a thing or three, and had zero regrets about anything she did. The hot shop was her stomping ground, where she chugged murk water daily, chased around squirrels, and greeted every visitor with either a loving head bump or a playful paw swat. She was an absolute snack fiend at her core, always scheming how to snag a bonus treat where she could. Rumor even has it that Etta once rummaged through a class student’s purse because she had dog treats in it and was only unsuccessful because she was caught.

She had a heart full of love and an endless supply of energy, always ready to play or curl up on a lap for snuggles.

Etta’s time with us was far too brief, but her impact on our lives will last forever. She was a source of comfort, laughter, and warmth, and she will be deeply missed every day by all who knew her, but especially her GA family. She has been buried out front next to our other favorite girl, Batch.
