🐾 A lesson in love-remembering Squeakers 🐾 Every feline we rescue has a past-we don’t always know it, but Squeakers’ life is one we do. We are honoring her today, and are so grateful that her pawrents have shared with us her second chance at happiness. It’s also a lesson in opening your heart to love again after loss.
Squeakers was adopted as a kitten from us in 2014. She had a wonderful life with her human for nine years, until her mom passed in 2023. By the time her daughter arrived, Squeakers had been taken to SCAS. Her daughter retrieved her, and asked if she could stay with SFAR until she could find a new home, as she could not keep her. The family gathered her toys, food, bowls and brought her to us.
Spending time with us after recuperating from her ordeal, she was adopted 3 months later. Squeakers’ original mom’s daughter had been following us on social media, and when she saw that Squeakers had been adopted, asked if she could thank her new mom. The two families became friends, bonding over their love for Squeakers.
Squeakers adapted to her new family and home. She learned to understand German, and became bi-lingual! She lost her extra pounds, and was doing well, loved and cherished by her new family, Sadly, she developed a tumor, went for surgery at a cancer clinic in Tampa, where her liver failed. She crossed the rainbow bridge three days later. Her family was heartbroken. She was with them for exactly a year, and they say she followed her first mom to heaven ❤️
Squeakers’ parents wanted to give their love to other rescued felines, and adopted Scooby and Swirls in July, and are so glad they made the decision to adopt again!
🐾 An amazing adoption day! 🐾 The SFAR team had their hands full with 4 adoptions and 5 fosters to adopt! Oleander’s foster to adopt was finalized, Anubis and Sean (adopted together❤️) and Honeycrisp were adopted. Sunburst was fostered to adopt, Sunberry and Sunflower(fostered together ❤️), and Sunny and Sunkist (together❤️) followed! That’s a lot of sunshine to spread around!
