I have also read that she is the patron saint of cats, travelers, the recently deceased, and the mentally ill.

Please offer prayers with me to St. Gertrude (and all the saints who are patrons of cats) on behalf of my cat, Pumpkin, who is going to the vet today. She hasn't been eating much and has lost a bit of weight. Thank you.

Our beautiful, beloved cat, Tiny, went missing in the storm several days ago and we have not been able to find her. I am offering prayers to St. Gertrude and would appreciate any and all prayers for her safe return home. God Bless.
