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.

This sad news breaks my heart. He was always the first to greet me whenever I came in. I looked forward to seeing this gentle soul who always put a smile on my face. He will be missed.
Rest in peace Boomer.
He was loved endlessly, and will be missed greatly by the entire Barista family and community. It happened so suddenly, I’m thankful that he didn’t have to endure the pain for very long. In his final moments, when the anaesthetic took hold and the pain went away, he gave us his biggest purr ever, as if to say thank you for caring for him and giving him a beautiful life. Condolences to Sean and the rest of our Barista family and friends.
Rest peacefully, Boomer❤️
