šŸ¾ THROWBACK TIME šŸ¾
You can take the dog off the street, but you canā€™t take the street outta the dog.

This is The Lewā€”former rogue, full-time legendā€”caught mid-heist trying to swipe a salmon skin right off the counter like it was rightfully his.

No regrets. No apologies. Just flavor.
He was a master of mischief, a connoisseur of chaos, and 100% unapologetic about his snack crimes.

Forever missed. Never duplicated.

šŸ’” PHOENIX šŸ¾ | The Cat Who Rose Again

He came to us broken. Someoneā€”without heart, without mercyā€”picked him up by the tail and kicked him so hard, his tail was completely dislodged. The neurological damage was permanent. Phoenix lost his tailā€¦ and with it, his ability to control his bladder or bowels.

He was 100% incontinent. He was labeled ā€œunadoptable.ā€

But we knew better.

At Angelā€™s Rest, Phoenix became part of the family. We bathed him daily. We comforted him. We let him be whole againā€”not because of what his body could or couldnā€™t do, but because of who he was. He shared a small room with Daisy, another cat who was surrendered because she had IBS and was incontinent as well. He had big windows so he could see wildlife, especially birds.

And oh, who he wasā€¦ ā¤ļø

He was silly. He was always wanting attention. He had the loudest purr in the building. He sat proudly on soft beds or perches and made it known: ā€œI AM STILL HERE. I STILL MATTER.ā€

He earned his name.
Phoenix didnā€™t just survive crueltyā€”
He rose from the ashes.

Remember Bella?

She came to us with one of the most severe cases of abuse weā€™d ever seenā€”her skull misshapen from repeated trauma. And yetā€¦ she still trusted. She still loved.

I spoke about Bella during a fundraiser shortly before we had to close the sanctuary. She stood as a symbol of what we were fighting forā€”those forgotten souls who still wanted to live, love, and be seen.

Bella reminded us that healing is possible, even when the wounds run deep.

She will always be part of The Spirit Sanctuary Chronicles, not just in memory, but in story. Because no creature who overcomes this much deserves to be forgotten.

Victor was completely blind. But he saw everything that mattered.

He arrived at the sanctuary with damaged eyes that later had to be removedā€¦ but he had a heart that could light up a room. He didnā€™t need sight to lead, to comfort, to know.

I named him after my father, and like the man, Victor was calm, kind, and wise beyond words.

Though the sanctuary doors have closed, Victorā€”and the many animals like himā€”are about to lead us into something new.

I canā€™t wait to introduce you to what Iā€™ve been working on. Until then, just knowā€¦

Victor still leads the way. šŸ¾

SSSHHHHHHā€¦ come closer.
Lewā€™s got something to say. Again.

šŸ“œ Throwback to one of his classic postsā€”
back when he ran the sanctuary with stealth, snacks, and side-eye.

ā€œI am still milking the 'I donā€™t want to eat dry kibble' thing so I can get tasty stuff in my food.ā€
ā€œEven though I am deaf, I can still sense when others are eating.ā€
ā€œThese people think I am so cute with my curly tail that I can get away with murder.ā€
ā€œI started running away when I see the bandages coming. Itā€™s like a game.ā€
ā€œWhiskey is getting ā€˜tutoredā€™ tomorrow. Not sure what that means.ā€
ā€œOK. I hear someone coming. Gotta run. Donā€™t tell them I told you this.ā€
ā€“ BIG LEW

šŸ’„ He was the original chaos coordinator.
šŸ’œ He had fans before we knew what ā€œfollowersā€ meant.
šŸ¾ And yes, heā€™s coming backā€¦ as a Spirit.

This post aged like fine mischief.

WHY I RETURNED

I didnā€™t come back to reopen cages.
I came back to open hearts.

When Angelā€™s Rest closed, I lost more than a sanctuary.
I lost a part of myself.

The grief was immense. The silence, deafening.
I didnā€™t know if Iā€™d ever return.

But the stories kept calling.
The animals we savedā€”they never left me.

And now, Iā€™m honoring them the best way I know how:
through story, spirit, and legacy.

Angelā€™s Rest is coming back.
Not with cages.
But with characters.

And love that outlived loss.

šŸ•Æļø Thank you for being here still.

06/15/2025

šŸ’› Just to clarify for those wondering:

Angelā€™s Rest is not reopening as a physical sanctuary.
We are not taking in animals or rehoming anyone.

This is a spiritual and creative returnā€”to honor the animals we loved and the mission we carried, through stories, books, and art.

The heart of Angelā€™s Rest never left.
And now weā€™re sharing what it taught us.

Thank you for being part of that journey.
Your support still matters more than you know. šŸ•Šļø
