yesterday, i said goodbye to Jack at 1pm. he passed peacefully in my arms. the last few months his kidney disease got really bad and uncontrollable, even though we were trying everything we could to slow down the progression. on monday morning, some really concerning symptoms started to show, and i knew it was time.

i've had jack since he was about 3 weeks old, found in a garbage can outside with his siblings that did not make it. i had no idea how to take care of a kitten that small, but a vet helped me get set up with everything i needed to nurse him back to life. i was only 19 then, and now i am 40. i spent nearly 21 years with this sweet animal, over half of my life. my heart is pretty shattered from losing him as well as his kitty sister Weasel in august 2022 from cancer. i know they are running and being silly kittens again together, free of pain and old age. it feels like a pretty big chapter in my life has closed.








i love you, baby Jackie
