We finally brought her in one cold Canadian winter night and she’s never left. Right from the beginning she’s been my husband’s cat, she just loves him. I always say to her “but I saved you.” She’s a beautiful long haired torti and when we took her to the vet they told us she was from the local TNR program and 8 years old. Right now she is snuggling in bed with my husband. 🐈💞

    This big guy looks just like my fest friend kitty who died last April at 11 years old. I raised him from a bottle fed kitten. I miss him every single day. His name was Mr. Bumble. He was always by my side. Especially when I was going through surgery, chemo, radiation. Always within arm's reach. He was a big boy, 22 pounds, and loved to cuddle. Be sure to give him lots of love.

      Our animals truly are our family, and they're never with us long enough. They weave themselves into your heart, then before you know it they've grown old with you. And when they pass away and leave us they take a piece of our heart with them and leave a hole that can never quite be filled again. They are pure, innocent, and full of unconditional love. I miss all of my babies who are gone... Everyday.

    Why would you get a cat but abandon it when you move homes? Cats aren't just pets, they're a part of your family. I got my rescued cat a month after my father died. She's helped me through a lot. I cant imagine my life without her. Although she's got a nasty temper, i still love her unconditionally ❤❤

      Had a neighbor that did this at the start of the pandemic. The apartments we were staying in were sold to a new company. So at the end of everyone's lease they were raising rent by almost 200 bucks.
      I'm assuming that between everything being shut down and the rent hike she had to move and had 2 kids and a cat. There were no other apartments that were priced as well as these had been in our area. All the others were not pet friendly or had massive deposits and monthly increase in price just for having a cat besides just being more expensive per month.
      It doesn't excuse the abandonment but I guess I understand how it happens.
      We did find the kitty a home afterwards so at least there's that. ^_^

      that is why I am very happy for what the apartments where I live have done, you can not adopt pets if you live here because its a no pet apartments, but they made exceptions if you already had the pet before you moved in. because they dont wanna be the reason pets get abended , I dont get why they dont remove the no pets all together though.
      also my first cat was a abanded, when the owners moved, she kept been with staris to the apartment for two weeks, at last, my mom took her in, she wasn't even a year old and a really sweet cat.

      @@josefineandersen2165 the reason most landlords have no pets or expensive pet fees is cause they don't want to deal with the cost of property damages a pet "could" cause. So that is their solution. Unfortunately the people who abandon their pets I feel just didn't care about them enough cause even if you can't take them, you can at least, AT LEAST find them a new loving home or find a no kill shelter to take them.

      @Snow Just because she’s physically disabled doesn’t automatically make anyone an object of pity; that’s incredibly condescending of you. I don’t see a “poor unfortunate soul”; I see a happy young woman who is compassionate towards animals and picked a rescue cat instead of a fancy purebred.
      It may come as a shock to you, but most people with disabilities aren’t depressed, sick, socially awkward, lonely, bored, or in need of joy. We are too busy living our lives and changing the world to worry about accepting crumbs of pity from people who dismiss our worth and see us as lesser humans without any purpose.
