It is with very heavy hearts that we share that little Winky has passed away.
When Winky arrived in our care, he was a very sick little kitten. We knew he was facing an uphill battle, but for a little while we dared to hope he might pull off a miracle. He started getting hangry, making his opinions known, and showing us flashes of the cheeky little kitten he should have had the chance to become.
Despite veterinary treatment, medications, fluids, round-the-clock nursing care, warm beds and all the love we could give him, his tiny body simply couldn’t keep fighting.
We are heartbroken, but we take comfort in knowing that Winky spent his final days safe, warm, comfortable and surrounded by people who loved him fiercely. He knew gentle hands, soft blankets, full bellies, and the security of being cared for.
Not every rescue story has the ending we hope for, and these losses never get easier. But every kitten deserves a chance, and every kitten deserves kindness, no matter how short their journey may be.
Thank you to everyone who followed Winky’s story, sent messages of support, donated, and kept him in your thoughts. It meant more than you know.
Sleep softly, little man. You were loved by so many people in such a short time, and you leave behind a paw print far bigger than your tiny size would suggest.
Sleep tight, little Winky 🌈 🪽 🐾
