Paws Fur The Cause answered my prayers. I lost a cat of 12 years. We fell in love when we met. She was a sickly kitten and the veterinarian gave me medication to feed her with a syringe. When it was time to feed her the medication I had to cradle her in my arm and when we made eye contact, she seemed to always smile and she would stretch her front paws out and I would let her brush my face. In those moments I never felt loved like that. She brought me joy and love for 12 years while enduring her chronic sickness. She died from that illness recently. And I could not afford to to bury or cremate her. I contacted the City and they mentioned they could cremate her for free, but I must leave her outside my apartment on the corner for pick up. I could not leave someone I loved so dearly outside abandoned. So, for 2 hours I phoned pet crematories and they all were unaffordable for me. I then considered boxing and wrapping her for the trash bin. Then memories of the love and happiness she gave to me consumed my thoughts. I got back on the phone and finally reached Paws Fur Cause and Stephen the owner listened to my unfortunate plight. Stephen quoted me a price to cremate Florence, without return of her ashes, which would cost considerably more, I felt I could manage the price and agreed. Stephen came that evening to pick up Florence. When we met, knowing that I couldn't witness the cremation and not have her ashes returned. Stephen noticed that I couldn't contain my feelings and tears dripped from my eyes. With a cracked voice, I asked him to please ensure the cremation was done properly and with care. He mentioned, don't worry and left with Florence. A week passed, and during that week I said my daily Lord's Prayer and concluded with "lord I miss Florence and I wish she was here". At the end of the week I received a knock on my door, I did not answer, about 5 minutes after I received a phone call, unknown, I thought not to answer, but I did, it was Stephen, he explained that he felt my remorse and grief and wanted to return Florence's ashes to me and stated she was outside my door. A week after, my depression had diminished greatly because Stephen answered my prayers and brought Florence back to me. read more

If I could give 1000 stars, I would! On March 30, 2026, I was visiting my daughter in Los Angeles when my furbaby gained her doggie wings. Waking up to her at 1am lethargic and barely breathing was absolutely devastating! When I started calling her name, it was like she was coming back to life, but I knew it was time for her to go. Her little body just couldn't handle her sickness anymore. Even to the very end I could see the fight in her. It was like I woke up just in time for her to hear my voice, and she then came back to say goodbye to me. I prayed over her and she barked one last time, and shortly afterwards she was gone. Not being familiar with LA at all, I did a search on line for a 24 hour place to take my Mixxy. The problem was my daughter wasn't home and I had no transportation. I came across Paws Cause and spoke to Stephen. He was so kind, sympathetic and empathetic to my feelings of my loss. He explained his services and the process in such a compassionate and caring manner. I was surprised that the cost was very reasonable (less than a Vers office); including pick up services. So, I was very pleased I didn't have to keep Mixxy for hours, until morning. Seeing her like that for hours would have been more traumatic. Stephen was able to get to my location within less than an hour to get Mixxy. Stephen respected my wishes to not transfer from her carrier to a bag in my presence, so he took the carrier and handled Mixxy with care as if she was asleep and he didn't want to wake her up. Within a week l, Stephen contacted me that "Mixxy was ready to come home". This brought tears to my eyes. Unfortunately I was available to meet Stephen to get Mixxy at that time, but Stephen was flexible to take her to my son. He was also willing to reschedule another day and time if needed. My son sent me a picture of my Mixxy and as sad as I was, I was pleased that it look like Stephen did such a beautiful job with Mixxy. I can't wait to see what donation is in Mixxy's name! After speaking with Stephen that day, I knew this job is his "calling from God"! May God continue to bless Stephen and his business! read more

For anyone going through such a devastating time as losing a beloved pet and family member, Stephen with Paws Fur the Cause, is the best person to get you through it. We lost our girl Spirit (9 1/2 year old staffy mix) to medical malpractice. When we asked our vet if they would pick her up for cremation, they advised us that they don't do mobile pick up, we just needed to put her in our car and bring her to the office. Then they proceeded to ask us if we had the chance to look over the cremation packages. After they administered meds that should never have been mixed, and Spirit suffered a painful perforation, the vet's response seemed so cold and empty. My husband googled mobile pet cremation services in the area and Paws Fur the Cause came up. Stephen took time to listen to my husband and showed more compassion in that time then our (former) vet ever did. Stephen was about an hour away and he walked us through every step that was about to take place when he came to pick her up. -the day before Spirit passed, we wanted to get our own clay prints of Spirit, but the stores were already closed by the time we thought about it, so in the hour of his commute, I rushed to Michael's to get a clay kit. I arrived home just after Stephen got there. We asked if he would give us a little time to do the paw print, and he was incredibly gracious and caring, he even helped us with the homemade clay prints. Stephen was so compassionate throughout the whole process; we even decided the following day that we had it in our heart to get a necropsy done. God opened up so many doors throughout the process and Stephen was right there with prompt communication, empathy, benevolence, and just went above and beyond to help us. Although he helped us with our own paw prints, we still ordered more with the crematory artist he uses... She did an awesome job! Stephen really cares, and has the heart to do this job that most people just couldn't or seem to be heartless in. We highly recommend Stephen with Paws Fur the Cause, but hopefully we won't have to see him again for this service for a while! read more

I would like to share my experience with PAWS FUR THE CAUSE. I contacted them when I learned that my dog had cancer. When I called, a very friendly and understanding person answered--Stephen. I asked many questions, and he patiently answered all of them, explaining the entire process, including how they would pick up my dog and later deliver the ashes. Three weeks after that call, I had to make the most painful decision of my life and put my dog down due to cancer. He was no longer eating, could barely walk, and had many other issues. While I was on my way to the vet, I contacted Stephen, and he immediately started heading there as well. Before that, he even asked if I had someone to be with me during the euthanasia. I told him yes, but he said that if I didn't, he would be there with me. Every time I spoke with them, I was extremely emotional, and they always showed compassion and understanding. Less than two weeks later, Stephen brought my dog's ashes to my home, along with beautiful, perfect paw prints and other meaningful items. Everything was done with such care and respect. I have since contacted my family and friends--many of whom have pets--and told them that if they ever need these services in the future, PAWS FUR THE CAUSE is the perfect company. They understand your pain, they are humane, their prices are very reasonable, and their work is absolutely beautiful. I have family members who used other services, paid double the price, and the results were not even close. I feel truly blessed to have found PAWS FUR THE CAUSE. They are the best--compassionate, humane, always answering the phone, and if they miss a call, they return it within minutes. I will definitely use them again in the future for my other five pets. I don't see them as just people--I see them as angels sent by God. Highly recommended read more

There are no words for how devastating it is to lose a pet suddenly, but losing our cat before he was even a year old left our family--especially my daughter, who was his primary caretaker--completely heartbroken. In the middle of our shock and grief, we found **Paws Fur a Cause** on Yelp, and I am so grateful we did. Stephen handled everything with an incredible amount of empathy, compassion, and patience. From the moment he stepped in to help pick up our cat's remains to when he returned him to us about two weeks later, he was professional, gentle, and deeply respectful of our family's feelings. He was also incredibly flexible and accommodating with our schedule during a time when we could barely think straight. It's clear that Stephen runs this as a dedicated, one-man operation, pouring his whole heart into supporting grieving pet parents. While he handles it all beautifully, he works incredibly hard around the clock, and he truly deserves all the success (and maybe some backup help in the future!) for the amazing service he provides. If you ever find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing this service, I cannot recommend Stephen and Paws Fur a Cause enough. He brought our family immense comfort when we needed it most. Thank you, Stephen. read more

I lost my pup Canelo a few days ago and I've never been through something like that before, so I panicked and decided to rapidly search up pet cremation services. That's when Paws Fur the Cause popped up. I was a bit hesitant as they only had ten reviews, but they were all five stars, so I decided to give them a call (they were also open 24 hours and would come pick my dog up, instead of me taking him.) Stephen was the one who spoke to me on the phone, and he was speaking in a very gentle, comforting tone. He was patient when I had long pauses, and he double checked everything with me. Because I was crying, it made it difficult for him to hear me clearly, so when I asked him to make corrections, he corrected them without making me feel bad. I was like an hour away from LA, yet he arrived gracefully and treated Canelo with so much gentleness and even double checked if we were okay watching the work in progress. At last, he gave us his condolences and apologized for our loss and then took our soul dog away. (Stephen came by two days ago and dropped off his ashes, it was a quick process, and I'm glad to have my baby back home.) Thank you, Paws Fur the Cause. read more

Losing my boy on Mother's Day was one of the hardest things ever. After searching for a place that was both affordable and compassionate, I came across Paws Fur The Cause through a TikTok comment -- and I'm so grateful I did. From the very beginning, they made me feel like I was dealing with a friend rather than a business. The kindness, patience, and care they showed during such a difficult time truly meant everything to us. They made the entire process comforting and stress-free while still allowing us the opportunity to properly say goodbye. I was beyond satisfied with the services provided, including the cremation, transportation, return of my boy's ashes, and the complimentary ink paw print that I will cherish forever. Everything was handled beautifully, respectfully. A huge thank you from me and my family for all the help and compassion you showed us during such a painful moment. I would absolutely recommend Paws Fur The Cause to anyone looking for an affordable, caring, and respectful way to honor their beloved pet. Here are some photos of my baby and what was given to me . read more

I lost my beloved girl, who was at the senior age of 18, when she crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Paws Cause Cremation showed up around the same time she had finished receiving her home euthanization, and needless to say, I was in a very emotionally vulnerable state. The veterinarians were awesome, and much to my delight, so was Stephen, the Paws Cause cremation employee. This company must really know how to vet their workers because I could not have asked for a more kind and empathetic individual. Losing a pet is a very stressful and daunting experience, no matter what, but I feel blessed to have had the pleasure of meeting Stephen. I was also assured that my girl was in good hands and that they'd be with her every step of the way. Stephen and Paws Cause don't treat you like a customer they treat you like a friend and that goes a long way for me. Id recommend their services any day. read more

Finding this service truly felt serendipitous. The very same day my sister lost her dog, I happened to see their car with the business decal almost like a gentle sign that we were being guided to the right place. From the beginning Stephen was incredibly thoughtful, supportive, and informative. He communicated with us through every step of the process and was so willing to accommodate our needs during a time when we felt saddened and overwhelmed. His care made an unbearable moment feel a little lighter, and we felt truly supported the entire way through.

I cannot say enough nice things about the services that Stephen and his sister have provided. I have used their services twice. On both occasions they arrived on time, took care of the job at hand in a compassionate and respectful manner. The ashes were returned in the same way. The pricing was considerably less than other comparable services. A portion of your payment goes to an animal welfare organization in your pets name. They are truly here to support our pets in every aspect of both life and death. Please do not hesitate to contact them when in need! read more

Stephen's services were absolutely amazing. From the moment I first reached out to them, Stephen was here within 30-40 min. He was so kind & caring, very compassionate thru this difficult time. Never did he rush or pressure us in anyway. Then the return of our little guy "1 eye" was super fast. He was home with us within a week. I truly appreciate everything Stephen did for us. Most definitely I would recommend your services. Thank you Steven for all you do. read more

Paws Fur The Cause and Stephen were incredible during a very difficult moment for our family. Our dog Argos passed away late on a weekend, and they responded with compassion, professionalism, and honesty. They explained everything gently and treated Argos with real respect. They even refunded part of the fee when his weight was less than I estimated. Their integrity and kindness made a heartbreaking day a little easier. I highly recommend them. Peter Z read more
