This is Drake, a 5 year old tuxedo boy who is FIV+. I’m fostering this sweet guy through Stray Cat Alliance, and wanted to get his cute face out there to help find his furrever home! Drake has glaucoma, they believe due to uveitis, and will likely have both eyes removed. He has also had all his teeth removed. He’s the sweetest little lap cat, & gets along with his foster sister, Yumi, so he’d do well either as a single cat, or in a multi cat household!
He loves Fancy Feast, Temptations and Churu!
You can apply to adopt or meet him through https://straycatalliance.org/adopt-and-foster/search-for-a-cat/

Today marks 6 weeks since I had to make the difficult decision to let my girl go, & prevent her suffering.

She was a beautiful, shy, sweet, cuddly, silly void, & was by my side for 12 years. She was nearly 1 when I brought her in from outside, & we were best buddies ever since. She was shy & afraid of new people, but she was my shadow.

Her favorite toy was her raggedy old koala, & her favorite places to snooze were on paper bags, warm laundry, and my lap while I was gaming. Her favorite snack was Temptations, and favorite food was Fancy Feast pate.

Her favorite words were “hungry?” & “treat-treat!”.

Mookie had mammary cancer, & I still feel guilty I couldn’t afford the mammary chain removal surgery. We went through the removal of one tumor, & eventually at the end, wound care when another tumor ulcerated.

She was my best friend, & there hasn’t been a day that I haven’t cried since I knew she was at the end. I had to make the call sooner than I had hoped, but I don’t regret letting her go before she was suffering. I couldn’t let her get to that point.

I wanted to share my soul cat with you all. & I hope this helps someone else going through something similar.

I miss you so much, Mookie Bear. I hope you know how much I love you, & how much you mean to me. I did my best. A piece of me died with you, but you will remain a part of me forever. 🖤🕯️🌈
