In Loving Memory - Boomer
by Team Barista on Feb 10 2026
It is with the heaviest of hearts to announce the passing of Boomer on February 10th, 2026.
Boomer suffered an aortic thromboembolism, leaving his rear legs paralyzed and himself in a significant amount of distress. He was rushed to an emergency veterinarian, where, with a tremendous amount of sadness, it was decided that euthanasia was the most humane course of action considering his prognosis. Boomer was made comfortable and passed without pain, surrounded by love, empathy and kindness.
Boomer, his name derived from community consensus, was a 7-year-old, mild-mannered rescue who had survived a coyote attack at 4 months old before he came to us, a survivor! He spent his entire life as our shop cat and beloved family member here at Cloud Barista, greeting clients, supporting staff members and showering them with all the feline love. He had a great many adoring humans in his life; he was loved deeply and was never shy about returning that sentiment.
Personally, Boomer was a companion for me during many changes and challenges in my life over the last 7 years. Always available to me when I needed unconditional love. Always with just the right amount of attitude and knuckleheaded antics to melt my heart. I had always believed he came into my life for a reason and enriched it in ways that defy description.
Boomer touched many, many hearts with his kind and gentle soul.
Rest in peace, lil’ man.
Sean - Team Barista
My condolences, this is very unfortunate news.
Iv recently lost a my beloved fur friend:/ I always enjoyed giving boomer some pets as I walked through the door, sometimes he would be sitting in front of the door, there was no way to avoid giving him some love. He will be missed. <3
He is so missed and was such a big part of the experience coming to the shop. Was always so polite and playful, he always put a smile on my face. If he was just laying behind the till or lounging on the couch. We love you Boomer, I am so sorry for such a huge loss to Sean and the team.
Sean I am so sorry about the sudden, tragic and devastating loss of your feline family member , Boomer. He had such a great life with you and was adored by all; I remember when he “ran away” for a day and how panicked you and the staff were and myself – posting on Facebook groups and I looked in the neighbourhood- calling his name. The relief I saw in your face and your employees said everything about how much Boomer meant to everyone. I loved coming to see him and give Him pets and scratchies and listen to his purr and look at his handsome face. Boomer, you are loved and will be missed dearly❤️❤️❤️❤️🪶☘️rest in peace Boomer
Sean… I’m so sorry to hear about your loss, my friend. Carol and I have heavy hearts for you today. Boomer and Cloud Barista had a long, loving and beautiful relationship together. I know Boomer touched a lot of people and hearts in his sweet life. There will always be a special place, in remembrance of Boomer, in Cloud Barista and for all that knew him. My sincerest condolences to you… and all the Team Barista family.
Boomer will be remembered <3
