PENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mooooooooonshiiiiiiiiine🌛
This charismatic girl has been with CKR for a year and a half. Her story is a tough one to read, I’ll share her full story below.
March 2024 she came in quite pregnant, brought to us temporarily to hold until she had her kittens or she could get to clinic. She delivered 6 premature babies and one by one we lost them all. Moonshine showed me the heartbreaking side of kitten loss from a mother cat’s perspective.
She went into a depression, lost fur, wouldn’t eat, and I had to hand feed her just to keep her going. When we had pregnant temporary hold kitty named Mamasita come in, Moonshine became a feline midwife. I have photos of them cuddling, moonshine was with her every moment that I allowed.
Once kittens and other moms rolled in, Moonshine would be right by my side to do weight checks on the kittens, groom them and “babysit” while the moms stretched their legs and ate. She would then return the love to the nursing moms. I watched her sparkle come back over a period of 6 months.
She went to another foster home temporarily as she was supposed to be returned to her original home. However, they no longer wanted to return her outside. Then another opportunity for a home in October 2024 came up, and fell through… No one seems to look twice at the older all black cat…
Moonshine will be your shadow, 24/7 this girl had your back. She will chirp motivational mantras while you clean, head butt you when you need some extra love, and supervise the world from the highest perch she can fine. She knows the rollercoaster of mental health struggles, she has lived them and coped. I’ve never related more to a cat’s mental struggles, her emotional intelligence still impresses me.
She will be to the food bowl, first to the treat bag, and first to squeak WELCOME HOME when you have had a long day.
She tolerates canine companions, gets along with other cats, but loves any and all humans above all else.
Full of love… Full of life… Just waiting for her person or people🖤
