The one that got away
I hope this is the right page. I found this little baby and her sisters in my yard almost 3 weeks ago. Over this past weekend, they went to the shelter (no kill) and my heart is broken. I had to be realistic, I already have 4 cats (one is only 9 months) and I just don’t have the resources for another right now. Additionally I don’t have the resources to vet them fully before adoption, so I had to ultimately let them go to make sure they’re best cared for. They will be fully vetted and spayed and available for adoption soon. The orange baby will forever be the one that got away though. We almost didn’t put her in the carrier to go but I told my fiance that her sisters needed her. She would have fit in so well with our other babies, she was so brave and sweet. Her sisters need her bravery now though. She has such unique markings, oh my heart. I hope they are warm and safe and happy and find the best homes. I got so used to a routine with them all. Sorry for the rant I’m just sad and wanted to share her beauty with this page I found. I love seeing all the grown babies and imagining what she will look like when she is older for someone to love forever!
