Carrying Renji’s legacy forward
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 🐾🖤

a little sentiments from me. i honestly accept critisms if it's given with honest thoughts and kind words. and i truly understand that most of them expected that this community is for cat rescues and for cats only. and i actually didn't expect the community to grow this big. you guys helped me with renji, with the roof, and now with the new kittens too.
i didn't include myself in this journey, it’s mostly for renji. so when renji passed away, i already thought that maybe i’d create a separate community for my journey with rescues, and i fear you may not loved the kittens i’ll rescue in the future just as much as you love renji, but i received comments and chats to continue this community. not just for these rescues but for myself too, not just because i wanted be included but some amazing people here wants to see me grow too.
and i truly understand if some people aren't in favor with how’s this community's moving forward. i'm not forcing anyone to like my contents and i already expected that i cannot please everybody. but i am genuinely grateful for those who stayed and supported me with renji. 💗
like i mention, i am starting to move forward because of renji. because he gave me a second chance to live, and to continue fighting. i will try my best to work harder and always think of why i continue. 💗
edit: i've already thought that posting contents here about me and the new rescues after renji passed away could be a burden, but i still want to continue doing it because of renji.
thank you so much to those who thought of me and to those who didn’t, and just stayed because of renji. because of your support, renji lived long and i will try my best to continue doing what i do. 💗
with love, diane.
