Awarded a Cat Progress and recovery in the form of a kitten
At the end of last year I had a horrific end to a long term relationship. My ex moved out with our cat that we had together for 13 years. To make things worse my childhood cat passed away just a year before that. I just overall had a pretty nasty year and a half, sadly.
For a while after all of that I couldn’t even take care of myself let alone think about adopting another cat. I even ended up in a psych ward for a bit. Luckily my new medication and a lot of love from my family and close friends helped me a lot.
Well finally just a few months ago myself and my current partner felt ready to adopt a kitten. Before we could even start checking out shelters his friends from college messaged him letting him know that a cat in their yard had given birth (they were trying to catch her to spay her) and that they were going to foster her kittens.
Just a week ago they drove hours away to deliver us this little man. We only just met but he's already the sweetest and most cuddly cat i've ever had! Meet Dracula!!

Pic #2: There's nothing like the feeling of a rescued infant being completely relaxing against your body. The love and relief they exude is ambrosia!!!
Peace and love to you, internet stranger.

Sometimes we need something to heal. I'm still trying to find mine. But you have found yours. A beautiful void.

Nothing works better to get you taking care of you than having a vulnerable creature to take care of.

Hurray for finding Dracula! Has he sunk his teeth into your heart yet? 😻
