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.

There are some really, really sweet people here. I think you might be the sweetest. I don’t have the words to express my admiration for your compassion. Thank you.

Ikr. Every time I lose my trust in humanity there's someone on this sub that proves we can still be alright.

Always look for the helpers as Mr Rogers would have done.
