I just received some sad news about one of my former foster fur babies

Space Boy, who is Carys' brother, crossed the Rainbow Bridge tonight. He spent the other night at the vet but they couldn't figure out what was wrong. He actually started to rally but I just got that dreaded phone call.

He was the first of that litter of siblings to approached me for some scritches and became my sweet little buddy. He and his sister, Moon, were adopted by some good friends of mine and they were in a great situation.

My brother will take him to be cremated, tomorrow.

He had a great home, a life of safety, contentment and love because of YOU. Your compassion and fierce advocacy for these little lives are a wonder for us to behold. Thank you on his behalf and all the others.

What an absolutely beautiful cat. He had a good home where he was loved and taken good care of and it was all due to the kindness, compassion and TLC you gave him as a baby kitten.

I know how heartbreaking it is to lose a cherished pet.

RIP, Space Boy. You will be missed.
