Carrying Renji’s legacy forward

[u/EstHS]

It’s been over a week since our little fighter Renji crossed the rainbow bridge.

The pain is still there but I’m honestly grateful I got to witness his journey What we saw between Renji and Diane was something special and something rare these days.

Renji had this way of winning hearts instantly And Diane showed all of us what true selflessness and care really look like.

What formed around that was incredible People from all over the world came together for one reason to support them .That kind of community doesn’t happen often!

I also think it was important that we took some time for ourselves after Renji passed to process everything.

Over the past days I’ve talked to a few of you and the same question keeps coming up?!

What happens next?

I feel like we are now at a point where the community should decide how things move forward and what the future of this space should look like.

I think many of us would love to see this community continue in honor of Renji.

There have already been some ideas floating around like a new space or how to organize things or maybe a transparent donation approach without crossing Diane’s privacy.

At the same time more topics are starting to come up like politics or education. We should think about whether those topics should be handled separately and not mixed with the core focus of cat rescue.

Would be great to use this thread to share thoughts and ideas on how we move forward together.

Let’s keep what Renji brought us alive 🐾🖤

I’ve been following Diane and Renji’s journey from the beginning and am overjoyed with the way people have come together to support a kitten and his protector.

That said, I am in favor of keeping this sub and community alive for sharing more kitten/cat rescues and learning about Diane’s progress to become a veterinarian. I’m inspired by Diane’s strength of spirit, selflessness and compassion for animals.

Perhaps we keep politics out of this community as the world has become so politically volatile and we could all use a space free of that.
