So sorry for your loss of what can only be described as an animal welfare legend of a lady. Kirsty and I met on the big surrey trial in 2019 and she quickly became a favourite of mine.
Her life may have been short but it was definitely fulfilling, happy and she made and left a huge legacy.

We've had so many great holidays and family times together. Remembering our early morning runs on holiday together which always turned competitive!!

You were always such fun to be around, just last Christmas you had us in hysterics when singing the 12 days of Christmas.

We are so proud of all you achieved in helping so many animals.

We love you and miss you so much.

Kirsty, you filled me with admiration at how you managed to "juggle" so many different parts of your life, yet making sure you gave family work, hobbies your full commitment. I know you were so proud of your husband & children and their achievements. You were a great hacking partner for several years and a great person to discuss the trials and tribulations of horse ownership!. Will miss you so much. You were strong and I'm sure your family will be too. Much love to all left behind on your final journey. Xx

To Kirsty's family,

I met Kirsty as she trained me in 2009. I couldn't believe that I was lucky enough to be spending time with Kirsty as her amazing reputation preceded her. I couldn't have asked for a more kind, supportive and encouraging person to learn from. As soon as I met Kirsty I noticed that she radiated warmth and kindness. Kirsty put me instantly at ease. The most clear memory I have of Kirsty is of her next to her humongous great dane in her living room. The great dane bounding about and Kirsty with her beautiful smile laughing as the dane bounced about. I have often thought of Kirsty throughout my career as an inspector. I wanted to express to Kirsty's family how sorry I am to hear of Kirsty's passing. She really was incredible. Sending the warmest of hugs to Kirsty's children. May they know how fantastic and full of energy their mother was.

It was always such a delight working with Kirsty and she was always so passionate about the RSPCA and enthusiastic to share her work, her expertise and the charity's goal with the wider public through filming and speaking to the media. She was such a fierce woman and a fearless advocate for the animals she helped rescue, but she was also a joy to spend time with. Her smile was infectious and her stories were enthralling. I feel lucky to have been able to call Kirsty a colleague as well as a friend, and the RSPCA will certainly sparkle a little less without her.

Kirsty,
It was a honour and a pleasure working with you over the years. You never lost your passion or your drive right up to the very end when I still saw you dipping into case files. You were an exceptional inspector and investigator. Your brilliance shone through in the Amersham case and continued unwavering.
But more importantly you were a thoroughly decent person, kind, caring and compassionate. You were even kind to me when I was giving you a long list of things to do.

All our thoughts are with your girls, husband, parents, close family and friends.

On behalf of all the animals you saved from suffering and in particular from my dog Wilfie who you saved along with Ozzy thank you. The light you shone on us all will remain bright in all of us.

Kirsty, you gave the voice to the voiceless whilst tirelessly striving for justice in a unjust world. You were one of the most courageous & compassionate people I have ever met. You made the world a better place for so many animals, inspired many people & enriched the lives of many more. I feel so lucky to have worked along side you at the RSPCA and for NEWC. Once I left the RSPCA you took over my old role, bringing your passion & commitment, never wavering despite the cruel world we are all too often exposed too & somehow remained positive and upbeat whenever we spoke. Thank you for all you did for animal welfare. You will be so greatly missed. Your memory will forever shine bright, I have no doubt. Sending all my love to your lovely family. Rest in peace Xxx

Kirsty,
You were one of life's greats. A true great friend.
Our friendship was one of the special ones, you will be dearly missed but never forgotten.

We have such wonderful memories of many wild and wonderful family adventures. The last 11 years have been so very special, not just for me but for the whole Whittaker family, it’s been an honour to call you our friend.

I’m still not sure how you convinced us to take home one of your puppy farm rescue dogs, but my goodness I’m pleased you did! She represents a small snapshot of your legacy of wonderful RSPCA achievements .

Lots of Love, Lauren, Paul, Lucinda, Imogen and Ruby xxx

I was really upset to hear of the passing of Kirsty. I can't imagine how her family and close friends are feeling. I knew Kirsty through the RSPCA. I never met her in person unfortunately but we communicated over the past few years via phone calls, texts and emails. We would often miss each others calls and then leave rambling voicemails to each other to try and catch up on the jobs we were discussing, it makes me smile when I think about it. She was always so happy to help and guide me with her expert knowledge. I always found Kirsty so easy to talk to. She was so friendly, down to earth, knowledgeable and ever so inspirational. The people and animals she has helped over the years is immeasurable and I hope she knows how respected she was by all of us in the RS. Rest easy Kirsty and condolences to your family and friends x

It is always a sad time when a life is taken too soon but for me it is especially difficult when it is one of our RSPCA family. Our job doesn't suit everyone, but it suited you. To work tirelessly for years to fight for a better life for animals is something we will always have in common and I will for one be continuing that fight. I can't actually imagine not being an RSPCA Inspector and I think you were the same. Rest in peace. x

One of those incredibly rare, one-in-a-million humans who just lights up a room by being in it and inspires others to be better whilst being so down to earth, humble, modest and unaware of their own utter brilliance. I'll never forgot the kindness and empathy you showed me the day I had to say goodbye to my horse and then walk into an RSPCA management training course. You pretty much kept me propped up that whole course. But then being kind, empathetic, supportive, brave and selfless just came naturally to you, towards both humans and animals. I can't believe the world can be so cruel as to take the very best too soon, but my god what a light and legacy you leave. Sending so much love to your family. Shine bright my friend.

I first met Kirsty in February 2001 when we started training to be RSPCA Inspectors in Class A2001. She is one of the few people I know who had no sides, was kind, compassionate, and committed to improving the lives of animals. She lived life to the full, and although I never met her family I saw how much she loved them through her posts on Facebook. My heart breaks for those closest to her, and my thoughts will be with you all tomorrow and always. 💔 Kirsty is a shining star in the sky. 🌟

Reading all these messages reminds me of how I saw Kirsty growing up as my parents’ neighbour in Letty Green. So impactful was her openness and genuine friendliness, she was a delight. To be taken away from Trevor, Wendy, Dominic and her husband, daughters, and loved ones, is so cruel. I hope memories of her will somehow translate to enriched moments, guilty pleasures if you will, and I sincerely hope the pain and grief will soften with time.
