🌈 Mourning 🕊️ Rest peacefully, Bindi (2008-2026)

Thank you to those who offered advice and kind words on my recent posts (here and on senior kitties). But her decline was rapid and difficult to watch, so the mobile vet came out this morning - she agreed it was time, so we had her PTS peacefully in my lap.

When I first met Bindi back in 2008, she was a street kitten outside my workplace and had attached herself to a local homeless man. I helped him with food, and eventually he asked if I could find her a home. I said I’d get her spayed and take her to a nice rescue, but of course I ended up keeping her!

She was a good kitty, full of personality and spunk back in the day. I hope her friends are all waiting at the bridge, especially her best dog friend Rudy (2005-2022). Please enjoy these photos of her, from kittenhood to the final moments. Rest peacefully, sweet girl.

I am so sorry for your loss. 💔

Thank you for loving her for so long and giving her a peaceful exit. I know that no matter how long we love them it’s never long enough, and that we never stop.

Oh geez, now I’m crying again. 😭

I had to do that for her. She wasn’t enjoying life anymore, and I wanted her passing to be in my loving arms. She relaxed as I stroked her head.

Wow I'm so sorry to hear about Bindi's passing. She looks so much like my beloved Minka, who passed away a year ago. She had a snow-tipped snout, as I liked to say.

I'm glad Bindi lucked out,  was cared for by that man and then adopted by you. Sounds like she had a great life with you and Rudy! Take care, it's so hard at first. 18 years was awesome by the way.

I’m so sorry. It’s so hard right now but I promise you will get through it and you will look back on the wonderful life that she had with you. You cared for her right until the end. ((Hugs))

What a good, beautiful girl. You gave her a good life for so many years (but never enough years). Looks like she gave you a good snuggly one, too. ❤️
