Gertrude, Patron Saint of Cats

Cakes baked in Gertrude’s oven
and water from her well are said to repel rodents
– thus her patronage of cats.

Our St. Gertrude Sculpture

This site is dedicated to St. Gertrude of Nivelles, honoring the spiritual connection between humans and their feline companions.  It is a result of all the amazing connections I’ve made when my “patrons” have shared their stories with me. I’ve laughed and shed  tears with them.  I want this spot to be a place where people can get together to tell stories, share pictures and resources.
My goal is that it is operated by our own small community of cat lovers (though it will always be moderated).
So please write comments, post images, pin it…send in anything worth sharing.

You’re likely to hear them before you see them.

They’re alone and afraid. No mom in sight.

The sound of kittens meowing.
Here’s what to do if you find a litter of kittens… (click to go to the info site)

And please remember your favorite rescue/shelter.
We’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know about them so we can feature them here.

  • Laurie June 18, 2019 at 10:25 am

    A prayer for a feral Cat I caught to have fixed. I have a few cats on my porch that are defiantly feral but this one if I would sit on the porch with the food dish he would come up to me. I couldn’t pet him but he didn’t run off. I decided to keep him inside but he will hiss and lately will paw at the window when one particular cat is out there (this cat was already fixed).I hate to let him out we do have a fox running around and with the weather I hate to put him back out. I need guidance on what to do.

She’s been pacing around the litter box and has not eaten much. She is the sweetest little black cat that I adopted a few years ago and brings me so much joy. Prayers to St Gertrude to watch over her and thank you in advance for your prayers.

  • Mary G March 12, 2018 at 8:57 pm

    In December, a little kitty adopted me while I was on vacation in Florida, and whom I named Gemma. She saw a wonderful vet there for her shots, tests, and overall good health. I brought her back to MA and she saw my local vet and had her spay in mid-February. All was going well, until tonight. I came home from a day out and found her having difficulty breathing. I brought her to one of our premier animal hospitals, where she is now as I write this, and she is in cardiac failure. We won’t know what the prognosis is until the cardiologist sees her in the morning. I’m just beside myself, having lost two beloved pets last year, and to have Gemma,a young, seemingly healthy cat get so sick virtually overnight.

    Please pray with me and ask our Good Lord to have mercy on my sweet Gemma. She’s not even two years old and is the sweetest, most lovable kitty. She deserves to have a long, happy, healthy life, which I hope to give her if Our Lord will let me.

    Thank you in advance for your prayers.

    Please Lord, hear our prayers!

  • Lance A. February 10, 2018 at 9:58 pm

  • S Gamble October 21, 2017 at 9:21 am

    Please say a prayer for our neighbor’s kitty, Rob Bob (“Robby”), a red tabby. He was hit by a car on Sunday. He is at an orthopedic vet hospital now – he is stable but not improving either. Since Rob Bob came by our house on Saturday evening, and we usually don’t see him, we’re hoping it’s more of a sign of “I’ve got some of my 9 lives left” versus “Good bye.” We did get a picture of him though. Prayers and paws crossed! =^..^=

  • Maiasatara October 4, 2017 at 4:54 pm

    Please pray for Maisy who has been by my side for 10 years since she was a kitten rescued from a storm drain. Her appetite isn’t what it should be. Last time this happened she needed a feeding tube for several weeks and struggled back to health. I don’t want her to go through this again so please pray that she eats well, stays healthy and needs only her annual vet visits. Thank you. Maisy and I will pray for everyone else who posted here.

  • Ruthanne August 30, 2017 at 11:32 pm

    Please pray for my baby Tiger. She is barely 8 weeks old, and I have been bottle feeding her since 2 weeks of age, when she was abandoned by her mother. In her short little life she has suffered ruptured corneas in both of her eyes, resulting in blindness. Despite this, she has always been a playful, happy little kitten, and the joy of our household. Now she is in the emergency pet hospital, confined to an oxygen box due to pneumonia. A call from the vet this afternoon informed me of a seizure. I pray, St Gertrude, that you watch over my precious girl – heal her and let her come home to me & my girls. We miss her desperately, and our lives would not be the same without her and her sweet loving nature.

  • Bronwyn October 30, 2016 at 10:05 pm

    Please say a prayer for the safe return of my cat Kasha to me. When I found her half dead at 5 weeks, it was during a very low point in my life. There was something about nursing my little fighter back to health that gave me strength as well. She seemed to hate everyone else except for me, it was where she got her name. A Kasha is a japanese demon and for everyone else, she lived up to her name. She would stand her grounds against dogs, poop in the shoes of my roommates, but sleep purring in my arms. She would never leave my side when I had a seizure. And years later, when I had my daughters, she gave them the same affection she showed me and the patience I had shown her. She is 13 years old now and went missing two days ago. She has never been away from the house this long.

  • Yolanda Aguirre October 25, 2016 at 12:49 am

I know it’s in heaven, but as a cat owner/lover I hate that this happened.

    Hi…I don’t know if it’s too late for my precious baby, Fox (a.k.a. Punkin)..he’s 16 1/2 yrs old. He has stopped eating regularly and has lost a lot of weight. I took him to the doctor over three weeks ago tomorrow, and the blood work came back showing that his kidney levels were 4 times higher than normal. The doctor told me that the results reflect renal failure. He stated that I may want to consider the option of putting him down if he doesn’t take to a prescribed special diet. I got the food, and for the most part he seemed he was doing better these past couple weeks, but then his appetite was gone again today. I have tried everything I can think of to get him to eat, but today 12/26/15, he hasn’t eaten a thing and I am afraid I am about to lose him. If anyone is reading this, please please PLEASE pray for my baby’s health to improve and his appetite to return. This has been a harrowing week for me since every Vet has been closed for the holiday only to reopen on Monday which may be too late for my baby. Please pray for my baby. Thank you and God bless.

    I have just discovered St. Gertrude as patron saint of cats. I prayed to her for guidance as I just adopted a young cat but my resident cat, Misty is very stressed and will not accept Tyler. I am stressed as well in trying to secure peace for both of them. I would hate to have to give up Tyler but Misty is so distressed she is hesitant to come inside the house and has not been eating much. Any advice is welcomed. With thanks and gratitude.

    Ever since I had to put down my best, a dog named Deuce, I have become a cat person. I have 4 cats myself, as well as 2 others that belong to my wife & son. Now here I am at the point in my RCIA class where I am to pick a Saint for my confirmation. I do believe that I will go with St. Gertrude.

    I have three cats that I recued from a Humane Society shelter. One of them goes outside but the other two do not. Recently a juvenile white cat we call “Snowball” showed up in my barn. I fed it for almost a month and it is starting to trust me. Yesterday, two orange kittens showed up – they were scared and starving. The bigger “kitten could be a very young mother to the tiny one. They are scared of me as the white cat is, but their hunger has made them less reluctant to run from me as the sweet white one does. I need to find an organization that I can take the cats to and get them spayed or neutered and to find a home for them. Suggestions and prayers would be appreciated. Thanks
