✨ ADOPTION SPOTLIGHT: OBSIDIAN'S JOURNEY HOME
Some cats come into rescue with difficult stories.
And then there are cats like Obsidian — the ones who fight impossible odds every step of the way.
When Obsidian and his brothers arrived from the shelter, they were just tiny 5-week-old kittens. They were sick, fragile, and struggling to survive. They battled severe upper respiratory infections and intestinal parasites and we knew they each had a ruptured eye while their little bodies fought to grow big enough to get eye removal surgeries.
Watching these babies lose an eye was heartbreaking enough, but shortly after their surgeries, the remaining eyes began showing signs of redness and cloudiness. We feared the unthinkable.
The diagnosis was ocular FIP.
For many, that diagnosis would have felt overwhelming. But giving up was never an option.
For nearly 90 days, these boys endured daily medication, endless monitoring, and unwavering care from a foster who refused to let them lose their fight. Through every setback, every worry, and every sleepless night, she stood beside them.
And Obsidian kept fighting.
He never stopped being sweet. He never stopped trusting. He never stopped believing that people were good.
Yesterday, all of that perseverance led to the moment we dream about for every rescue animal.
Obsidian went home. ❤️
But what makes this story even more special is who adopted him.
Back in 2024, this family adopted Joy from us a spicy calico. When her dad saw Obsidian's story, he didn't hesitate. He looked at this one-eyed survivor who had overcome more in his short life than most ever will and simply said:
"That's my cat."
No concerns about his past. No worries about his missing eye. No questions about whether he was "worth it."
Just love.
The kind of love every rescue animal deserves.
Obsidian's story is proof that the hardest beginnings do not determine the ending. A tiny kitten who arrived sick, scared, and fighting for his life is now exactly where he was always meant to be safe, cherished, and deeply loved.
Happy adoption day, Obsidian. You are a survivor, a fighter, and now, finally, someone's beloved family member. 🖤🏡
