Hi friends.
I thought a lot about which story to tell you about the animals in my life.
I decided to tell your about a sad story, but full of love.
On 9th March the oldest cat of a felice colony I take care of, passed away.
His name was Gedeone. Unfortunately, he was FIV+ and he went off slowly, so we had to euthanize him.
He had found a family ready to welcome him in his last days, but he did not do it in time .
I remember all the years when every morning and every afternoon I used to visit him at the colony and I had to feed him, because he was too tired to eat; the evenings in the winter I was in the rain to coddle him to don't let him feel alone.
It was a special cat and everyone who met him knew it: he was good with the people and protective with of all the cats of the colony (including the kitten who always protected from other male cats).
my heart bleeds thinking to his whole stray life !
I tried to give him all the love I could!
It hurts me to think about the choice we have had to do, but "TO LOVE" means to want the best of those who we love and I wish so much that euthanasia was legal also for people over here in Italy.
If the story of the old Gedeone has moved you a lil, please make a gesture of love: neuter and adopt stray animals.
Every animals need and deserve respect and love.
I apologize for this sad story, but I wanted to share it with you to commemorate my old friend and let you know how special he was for me.
Goodbye Gedeone, my sweet special cat!
I will keep your in my heart forever!
Thanks for your friendship, thanks for the feelings and for so many sweet memories together.
Love you Gedeone
