We said good bye to one of the FELV + kitties in our group this morning. He died peacefully in his sleep never having a chance to find his own home. His fosters have been incredibly good to him and his companions and for that we are eternally grateful. But we have hopes and dreams for all our rescues that they will find their place in the world and connect deeply with their human. It has been the hardest thing to accept that this won’t happen for these babies and they will never know that experience. But their fosters have stood by them through every twist and turn of the path. Even when I suggested we euthanize them on the advice of people I talked with, they refused and have continued on day in and day out, caring for them, giving them the best life they can, sacrificing the space in their home to hold them where they won’t be with their well cats. These are the good hearted people you rarely hear about. The ones who quietly sacrifice, reassure these babies that they are loved and guide them through their experience of the world as they know it. The power of love is the strongest power in the world and the only one worth having. Thank you fosters more than you will ever know.
