Little One is her name. Her expression seems sorrowful and shattered, unaware that her mother, Patricia, will never return.💔🥺
She finds herself alone in the darkened house, devoid of warmth, without an electric blanket to comfort her, and with no one beside her in bed.
I first encountered Little One and her mother, Patricia, two years ago. An elderly with the hugest heart.
A call came in regarding a ginger cat that required assistance after being attacked by a dog.
All the rescue organizations wanted to trap this cat and euthanize it due to its unfriendly nature.😠
Patricia Kenny, an 86 year-old woman in distress, had recently lost her dog to poisoning by a neighbor, and all the neighborhood cats had been killed by locals who despised them.😖
The task was referred to me through wildlife rescue, as I was among the few who answered her call for help.
I went out, captured the cat, ensured it received full veterinary care, socialized it, and ultimately found it a forever home. That cat was Tobi, the ginger cat adopted last year.💪🏻
I learned about Little One’s heartbreaking story.
Her mother arrived on a stormy day, bringing her along.
Little One dashed into Patricia's house, where she left food for the local cats, but the mother and her siblings did not follow.🙁
The mother returned alone and never came back, despite Patricia's efforts to leave food out in hopes of her return.😢
I offered to provide full veterinary care for the cat, which I did, recognizing the immense love and joy this kitty had brought into Patricia's life.🥰
Patricia named her Little One, socialized her, and allowed her to sleep on her bed. She pampered her with prawns once a week.
Patricia cherished her and found hope each morning in getting up. She frequently reached out to me with questions, as she hadn’t owned a cat in over 40 years.
I would visit / check in on Patricia, but unfortunately, in the last two months, I became preoccupied with my own rescue cats.😢
Then, I received the heartbreaking phone call this week from her daughter, informing me that Patricia had passed away.😢😭
The department of housing where she resided will be boarded up, and the cat is in need of a new home.
No family members are able to take her,🤷♀️ and their mother’s final wish was to ensure that Little One’s is neither euthanized nor given up to a shelter or pound, however, Little One was not included in Patricia's will to ensure her future.😢
This is why I strongly encourage everyone to consider their pets in their wills. They discovered my name and number along with a note requesting that I be contacted if anything were to happen to Patricia.
Therefore, at some point today, I will be picking her up along with any food supplies she has.
The stressful part is ensuring I have enough space for her to feel comfortable, and yes, that means another mouth to feed.😞
She is an extremely shy and timid cat and a sweetheart once she warms up, but having only ever trusted Patricia.
She has been kept completely indoors, so I am reaching out for assistance.
I sincerely hope that someone with a generous heart can offer this lovely girl a forever home.🙏🏻
