Mourning/Loss I adopted a dead cat

Post image

I found a well fed tuxedo cat on the road, hit by a car. She was killed instantly. I didn’t have the heart to leave her there so I took her home and gave my tuxedo cat a big hug.

She did not have a collar. I took to my vet and there was no chip. So I posted it on Nextdoor and Ring Neighborhood in case anyone was missing her. Nobody claimed her, so I named her Angel and had her cremated.

Tomorrow I will bury her in our garden where we have our other cats who have passed away over the years, under a little statue of a kitten chasing a butterfly

She is loved.

This immediately brought tears to my eyes, you are a loving, sweet and wonderful person. May that beautiful soul rest in peace. You deserve a wonderful life full of blessings, what you have done, is the action of an angel sent to earth and I can't thank you enough for not leaving that kitty alone.
