Cathryn (Cat) Margetts
1977-2004

On May 25, 2004, Cathryn (Cat) Margetts lost her life while rescuing dogs and cats from her burning home. Cat, an animal lover and professional pet nanny, entered the burning house a number of times to save the lives of animals in her care. During a final rescue attempt, Cat succumbed to smoke inhalation, with her dogs - Adamie by her side and Max T Moose in her arms.

Remembering Cat

Cat's family and friends have worked together to create a lasting legacy to Cat's love for all creatures with the Cathryn 'Cat' Margetts Memorial Park Within a Park.

The park is complete and features a fountain, designed with two levels to allow for human and animal access. A collection of trees, flowers, and benches has been situated around the fountain, creating a place of contemplation and celebration of life and nature.

The Riverpark off-leash area, located at 4703 - 14A Street SW, was a favourite destination for Cat and her dogs.

The Cathryn 'Cat' Margetts Memorial Park Within a Park was dedicated June 20, 2005 at 3PM.

We would like to thank everyone who helped make this dream a reality!
