I'm so sorry. It's so hard to give a fur baby away. They enrich our lives so much!

When I moved to the West Coast, I had to leave my cat behind. It took three months before I can get him back but it was so lonely. But I did, and he gave me another year of companionship before he got stomach cancer. Had to put him down several months ago. Before that, it had been hard finding a space where he truly felt at peace. He at least had three months before he died to relax. Prior to that, he moved into a house with young dog who grew territorial of me and would attack him.

I had gotten another cat for him years ago but unfortunately had to give that cat away. I feel awful about it now. There was no real reason for it. He was beautiful and so small. At least you did the right thing by your cat.

Are you able to stay in touch with the new owner so they could give you updates?
