                                            🌈 In Loving Memory of Jelly Jellycat 🌈
Yesterday, our brave little Jelly Jellycat gained his angel wings. 💔
After months of fighting off cat flu and everything that came with it, Jelly was finally diagnosed with dry FIP. Sadly, by the time we knew what we were dealing with, his little body was too weak to keep going. When he began fitting, the kindest thing we could do was to let him go peacefully.
When Jelly first arrived three months ago, he was the feistiest of the bunch — you couldn’t get near him without a hiss or a swipe. Out of the four kittens, he was the boldest, the little leader of the pack. If there was chicken on offer, you could guarantee he’d be the one growling at the others to keep it all for himself. But over time, he changed so much. The scared, scrappy little fighter became the most loving soul — the one who’d come running to the door when he heard you, the one who’d curl up on your knee and melt into your arms.
Even though he never made it to his forever home, he had a mam for a while here. He knew what love felt like. He had warmth, cuddles, and safety — things he never would have known without the rescue, and without all of you.
To everyone who donated towards Jelly’s treatment — thank you, from the bottom of my heart. 💚 You might never truly see the difference your £5 or £10 makes, but please know this: it gives these tiny souls a chance. A chance to be loved, to feel safe, to fight, and to be part of something gentle and good.
Fostering comes with highs and lows, and this part is the hardest. But what matters most is that he left this world loved, cared for, and with someone kind by his side. I feel blessed that he came into my life, and I’ll never forget that brave little face and that fierce little spirit.
Sleep peacefully, Jelly Jellycat. You fought like a lion, little one. 🕊️💚
And speaking of the ups and downs of fostering — today’s been one of the brighter moments. To lift everyone’s spirits (mine included), I’ve just treated the three remaining kittens to a brand-new tunnel system. It’s five  tunnels all joined together into one long maze of chaos and fun. They’re a little cautious of it at the minute, peeking in and backing out again, but I know it won’t be long before there’s a full-on kitten stampede echoing from that room. 🐾💨
I’ll pop a little video in the comments — because even after the hardest days, love and laughter always find their way back in. 💚🐾
