On Forever Midnight
I have waited a while to update this blog for so many reasons. However, the main reason is that on Sept. 6, 2024, my baby Midnight crossed the rainbow bridge. The week prior, she was doing well. She was eating great and acting like herself. Suddenly, she was getting sick and not eating much. Of…

On Save the Kitties
Exactly three years, I found the rescue that would change my life. On July 24, 2021, I saw a local rescue that I hadn’t heard of was having a grand opening party and Zach and I decided to go on a Saturday. It was small shelter and a few ladies were there during the opening.…

On Stray to Stay
Shortly after Zach and I got married, a new cat started showing up in our neighborhood. Call it foreshadowing, an omen, and/or a blessing. I was thrilled! He was a blue tabby and he was so friendly. Naturally, I started feeding him and he seemed very eager to walk into our house. He would walk…

Kidney disease will be a topic I revisit regularly, because there are so many things I’ve learned about managing it.
