Having been loved by you made me realise what life was truly about. With you I felt safe, I felt understood, when I was born under a tree and left to fend for myself, I was covered in fleas and I was crying and hungry, I was scared, but then I was taken to the vet and fed and given a comfy spot to sleep with my brother. Then one day you came in and I looked at you. I saw kindness in your eyes, and you reached into my cage and you held me close where I could snuggle against your warm body. I knew I had finally found my home.
I may not have stayed long, and I know you didn’t understand why I had to leave, but our time together made my life worth living, you showed me kindness, you showed me compassion and you made me see what love truly is all about, I left this world always knowing that my brother will be loved forever and I left knowing what love feels like and that is because of you. Thank you April for loving me.
London Paw-Paw. Gone for one year, but never forgotten, forever in April’s heart.
It amazes me how much one little kitten can fill a child’s heart with such love and compassion. We only had London for such a short time and she passed due to surgery complications. Still my little girl talks about her and sometimes she still cries and when I ask her why she says she misses London.
Every animal deserves to know love.

That was so sad for you all. How lucky Toby is to have such a lovely family.
Thanks Ashleigh, I cried so much writing that post.
Aww…that brought tears to my eyes! I’m glad London experienced so much love and compassion. As for Toby, he’s adorable and lucky too!
It breaks my heart when I hear of animals being tortured and abused…I cannot fathom how someone can do that to such wonderful, giving creatures that are basically dependent on you.
Yes we ended up rescuing 2 more abandoned kittens after we lost London. So we have Toby, Pumpkin and Avari now. They are very spoilt, but we adore them.
Oh poor London, at least she was loved, as is her brother Toby. My last kitty – Misty – was only 18 months old when she was run over. I have never cried so much; I had raised her from a tiny kitten and she was my beloved baby. Needless to say that Miss Fleur (also a rescue cat) is an indoors only kitty; I don’t think I could bear the heartbreak again.
Oh that is so sad, poor Misty. It really is so heartbreaking when we loose a pet as they are part of the family. Thank you for your comment xx
Awww…this must have been so hard on April and all of you. But so glad you gave London a home and showered all the love and compassion. Hugs!
Thank you so much xx
I’m so sorry to hear about London passing away. I’m glad she knew love for her short life. I totally agree with you that every animal deserves to feel loved.

Oh Mackenzie,
This post broke my heart. How wonderful that London got to spend her short time surrounded by so much love. Toby is a lucky boy to be a part of your family.
Now I’m off to give my kitty a cuddle and tell him I love him x
Yes it made me want to hug our kitty’s when I wrote it too, thanks Jo xx
So sad. I lost my cat last year after fourteen years. I find it amazing how much love an animal can provide, regardless of how much they’re with us.
Was sorry to read this.
so true, so sorry about your cat
