Dear Saint Gertrude, please look with pity on my kitty Spooky, who probably has a melanoma in his mouth. I beg for a miracle, that the growth is not cancer, but if this is not God's will, please obtain for me the strength to bear up with the end of a 13 year love, and grant me the courage to send him home to Kitty Heaven before he suffers. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Thank you, St Gertrude.
I am humbly praying to St. Gertrude, please intercede my pleads to out loving God. Please provide enough strength to Pilita, my 7-year old cat who will undergo surgery again this afternoon. May she be strong enough to endure the process & aftermath. Please guide the doctors who will conduct the surgery, may they do what's best for her and may overcome all the challanges that they will be facing in the procedure. May the surgery be successful & may my cat be blessed with a speedy recovery & a longer life with me. May the kittens be perfectly healthy at all times too and may they also be blessed with longer lives. We ask this through Christ our lord, Amen.
I offer prayer to St. Gertrude, I humbly ask you help my cat, Viggo, through his illness. Pray his body gains strength and recovers 100%. Please give him the urge to drink and eat. He is my best friend and part of my family. This I ask in Jesus' name. God Bless.

Dear St Gertrude
I entrust my beloved Jadi to your care and protection. Please let this not be the end for my faithful and loving companion. I beseech you to heal him and make him strong and well again. Prayers also for all of the cats listed here.
Thank you St Gertrude and St Francis!
Did Saint Gertrude write any books or papers? I would like to read her thoughts.
Too bad that Saint Gertrude the Great overshadows our dear St. Gertrude, patron of cats, and that her feast day is the same as St. Patrick's! We'll have to make sure that it is not overlooked -- perhaps bake a milk cake in her honor? That is a food that cats must approve.
Thank you, dear Saint, for protecting our Freddy Astaire when he disappeared for two weeks. Please continue to protect him and his half-sister, Ginger Beauboo, when they go outside.
And if you could get all four of my cats to get along in a friendly manner it would improve my home so much. We would all be happier! Thank you for your help.
Dear St Gertrude, Sascha has been found! Thank you, thank you so much! Except for being exhausted, parched and extremely dirty, he is fine and on his medication again. Bless you and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

He escaped over the fence from my sister's house and has been missing for 2 days, He needs medication or he will bleed to death through scratching or infection. Please help him find his way home or let my sis and husband find him safe and unharmed soon. Thank you so much.
Dear St. Gertrude, I humbly ask that you help our Winston return to us safely and soon. I am so worried about him and it is just so unlike him to not return home. Please, St. Gertrude, patroness of cats, let me hear his earnest meow and see his little face soon. I love him so much. Please let him be safe.
Dear St. Gertrude I humbly ask you to help me and my family. We were exposed to a deer mouse and I am very fearful of the risk of contracting the virus they carry. Please keep my family safe and help quell this fear of mice that has left me gripped in fear. I also suffer from an anxiety disorder and pray for you to send me comfort during this difficult time. I also pray for my two cats whom I love dearly. Thank you.

I humbly ask St Gertrude to look out for my missing cat, Sisko, and if possible, send him home to me safe and well. Last time I had a cat go missing, I posted a prayer to her, and he was found the next day after being locked in a garage in a nearby street for 15 days. He made a complete recovery. I pray that my little Sisko will be as fortunate. Thank you Lady,
