🐱: Trick or treat! With such a cute face like mine, I'm sure you'll give me a treat right?🤭 Hehe Happy Halloween everypawdy and Happy Deepavali to all our Hindu friends!😸🎃🪔

Featured here is mama Clover 🍀 from the industrial estate that we feed at weekly with our friends from and . Isn't she the cutest in her Halloween outfit? Soooo calm, didn't shake the hat off 😻 She was kindly taken in by together with her adorable babies, Pumpkin, Pancake, Cupcake and Coco 🙏🏻 We have too many cute photos and videos of all of them but have not had time to post them. So sorry 😔 We will try to put up more posts of them in the days to come! Hehe thank you so much to Hilary, Darius and Amanda for helping the cuties❣️ Do head down to if you are looking for a cat to adopt or just to chill or some art jamming with the cats there!🎨🐱

Sometimes, life really chooses the most poignant ways to unfold its events. Last Saturday, it was like any other regular stray feeding session. All the volunteers gathered at our usual meeting point, mixed the food for the doggies and prepared a few sets of canned food for the kitties. We set off to feed the cuties on our respective routes once we were done with the mixing. All went well and most of the cuties came out happily to greet us with waggly tails or kitten eyes and rubs 🥺

Unfortunately, our food supply started running a little dry towards the end and the other teams that had completed their routes earlier were waiting for us. In order not to keep the rest waiting for too long, we did not visit Jacky (big puppy) as we knew he was being fed by the workers. Sorry baby Jacky 😔

The next day, we went back to catch a pregnant mummy cat, pass a worker some food and check on Jacky but Jacky was not there. It seemed he had gone missing 😰 One of the workers said he escaped from his playpen in the morning. They only realised it in the afternoon. By then, he was nowhere to be found 😭 The next morning, we received a very bitter pill from the factory staff. They informed us that Jacky had been knocked down by a sp*eding heavy vehicle 😭

Poor innocent and adorable little baby Jacky 😭😭😭 He was barely a year old, when he should be exploring meadows, sniffing valleys and doing cheery little zoomies. We did not even get to feed Jacky one last hearty home cooked meal before he departed 😭💔 This will forever be a regret of ours 😔 So so sorry Jacky... 🥺 hope you have lots of yummy food and friends to play with over the rainbow bridge 🙏🏻

Jacky may be just one of many other strays struggling to lead a safe and healthy existence, and one of many other dogs named Jacky in the industrial estate, but he will always have a special place in our hearts as our beloved fluffy eyeliner friendly puppy. Along with so many of the other dogs that were victims of roadkills, Jacky's death could have been prevented. All it took was one careless driver, a lack of "animal crossing" road signs, sp*ed cameras and sp*ed regulating strips, lack of proper control / guidelines / prohibition on the ownership of dogs in factories and lack of empathy or action to call for help on the part of onlookers, for an innocent little life to be taken. We hope more regard can be given to our furry friends out there and their lives can start looking up soon 🙏🏻

Rest in peace sweet Jacky 🙏🏻🤍💐🌈 Ruff and miss you furever 😭

Sweet Dolly whispering “I love you jiejie” to sweet Dotty 😻😽

Aren’t they so cuuuteee?😻 We love Dotty and Dolly too and we’re happy to share that they have been adopted❣️😸 Actually they have been adopted for about 4 months but we have been too busy with new rescue cats, dogs and other things to post an update 😪 So sorry 😔 (2 more cats have been adopted since and 10 more have been taken in; we will post about them soon! In the meantime, has kindly been helping to post about their mummy Matilda and 6 of the 10 cats taken in. Thank you 🙏🏻 We really need help with them. As we post, more cats on the streets are at risk of dog attacks, accidents and illnesses 😿😭 Please help us to help them 🙏🏻)

Dolly was rescued together with her mummy Matilda (who is still looking for her furever home 😿🥺) as the workers did not want them back after we sterilised them 😣 Dotty was from the factory next door. We could not bear to release her as she was so smol and sweet, and there were doggies disturbing her in her factory.

Thank you and for helping to trap the cuties for sterilisation and helping them at adoption drives; thank you for letting the cuties attend your adoption drives; and thank you , , and for finding Dolly and Dotty the best pawpa and meowmy we can ever ask for, and Jerald 🙏🏻🐱💗 We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Wan Jing and Jerald for taking the time and effort to visit Dolly and Dotty multiple times while waiting for your home to be meshed, and giving them the best life ever 😻 They are now able to p*e and p**p directly into the toilet bowl and have so many cute toys and beds at your place. It’s a-meow-zing 😻

Swipe left to see Dolly and Dotty hanging out with Leia, attending cat therapy, their new pawrents and their mummy Matilda 😻

Dolly and Dotty are the cutest girls 😻 We miss them a lot 🥺 Dotty would always purr and follow us around the house while Dolly always plays with us and melts us with her smol cute face 🥺😻 The dearies have been renamed Mini aka Minnie and Kiki, after their tiny stature and similarity to Jiji in “Kiki’s Delivery Service” respectively. Please follow them !🐱🐱 They have grown a lot since being adopted. We can see that they are really loved and well taken care of 🙏🏻 We hope that their mama Matilda can be as lucky as them and go to a kind family that can care for her better than we can care for her too 🙏🏻🥺

In “Kiki’s Delivery Service”, Kokiri said, “it’s not really important what colour your dress is; what matters is the heart inside”. Thank you Wan Jing and Jerald for seeing the sweet hearts inside Mini and Kiki’s tortoiseshell (mostly black) fur and choosing to adopt them 🙏🏻🐱💗

Kiki and Mini, we know you’re living your best life with your new pawrents and can’t be happier for you. Thank you for bringing us so much love and joy when you were with us. We know you are doing the same for your new pawrents, bringing the magic of Kiki to their lives. Thank you little sweeties 🥺😽 We love you forever Kiki and Mini 💗

😺: Heylo everybody! Please help me and my sister and papa 🙏🏻 We were caught by a hooman to see the doctor. Now, we have come to love the comfy beds and toys in the house and don't want to go back to the industrial estate 😿 Please adopt us if you can 🙏🏻 We don't have much time left. Hooman has too many cats in her house and will need to send us back if no one can adopt us 😿 Please help us and hooman 🙏🏻 Thank you❣️😺 *grateful licks of love* Swipe left to see my sister and papa! Hehe can you tell us apart?🤭

Adoption post:
-Jiejie & meimei are about 4 months young.
-Papa is about 1-2 years old.
-We found it really heartwarming that papa stayed to look after his kittens. This is the first time we are seeing a papa cat with his kittens instead of a mama cat. Wouldn't it be nice if someone could adopt papa and his kittens together?🥺
-Papa, jiejie & meimei are the sweetest kitties. They rub against anything and everything and are super affectionate 😺💗 They are sooo cuuuteee 🥺
-We caught them for sterilisation as our friend informed us that there were 3 friendly kitties at his workplace that were not sterilised.
-As we are full at the moment, we cannot keep them for long and will have to release them if no one can foster or adopt them. It pains us to think that they will need to go back to the streets 😿
-Please help to share about them or DM us if you can adopt or foster them 🙏🏻 Thank you❣️😺
-CWS adoption guidelines apply

Imagine being abandoned in the rubbish dump of an industrial canteen, getting used to living off scraps and others’ haphazard alms, then having your only home, the canteen, shut down before your very eyes. This is the life of four canteen kittens and a mummy cat (unsure if the mummy cat is the kittens’ mum). While some of the industrial cats we feed have workers to care for them, cats like these canteen cats not only have to fend for themselves, they also have to bear with the stench of the rubbish dump just to scavenge for food to survive 😿 It is a life we cannot bear to imagine. No sentient being should live like this.

The canteen cats really need your help 🙏🏻 The kittens are about 4 months old. We are unsure of the mummy cat’s age but she is quite small sized and looks young, maybe about one year old or so. As the cats have not had any caregiver since young, they are skittish and need time to warm up to humans. They will slow blink at you but sometimes they will hiss due to fear, when there is a sudden motion or loud sound. We believe they will become very loving cats with some love, time and patience. They have already learnt to use the litter box and are comfortable enough to eat, drink, defecate and groom each other. They will also come to smell your hand. Some have even started asking for chin scratches 😻 If you can help to foster or adopt them, please let us know. Please help us to turn their lives around. Thank you❣️🐱

Thank you furry much for helping to arrange for the trapping and sterilisation of the cats and and for donating food and litter boxes to the cats 🙏🏻🐱💗 *slow grateful blinks from the cats to you*

Happy Kindness Day SG everypawdy❣️😸 (sorry this post is a day late as it was posted on IG yesterday but somehow could not be cross posted on FB) Let’s celebrate Kindness Day SG by leaving little drops of kindness on every animal and everyone we meet 💗 On this special day, we would like to share a story about a kind worker Mr Zaw.

Each of us is a passer-by on earth, with a finite amount of time to leave our pawprints or fingerprints in others’ lives. As the years go by, we meet different groups of people and animals, some of whom are in our lives for only brief periods of time. However fleeting our time spent with each other is, love and kindness are all it takes to leave pawprints or fingerprints in each others’ hearts.

One particular group of people who have left fingerprints in our hearts is our migrant worker brothers. Mr Zaw is one such transient worker whom we met during our weekly stray feeding sessions. Every week, Mr Zaw will greet us cheerfully and offer us drinks when we visit him and his cats. He is so kind and always speaks fondly of his cats and family. His cats are his family in Singapore, and he loves them like his children. Whenever we ask him for a photo of him with his cats, he will gladly oblige and carry them like his babies. His genial and kind visage and gentle demeanour belie his years of toil in Singapore.

Last month, Mr Zaw informed us with great sadness that he will not be able to stay in Singapore as his company is not doing well and his boss cannot keep him 😔 As he spoke, tears were welling up in his eyes. His greatest concern was his cats. He told us that he was really sad that he could not stay to look after his cats and he was very worried about them. Although he had bought big bags of cat kibbles for his cats and asked his friend to help to feed them, there would not be anyone to hug them and sleep with them in his room at night. No one will be there to notice if they are coughing and ask for cough medicine, or pat them and get worried when they lose a few strands of fur. The cats cannot even eat wet food inside the factory, since no one will be there to clear the mess if the cats don’t finish up their food. Poor Mr Zaw and poor cats 😿

After hearing Mr Zaw’s story and concerns, we felt really sorry for him and hoped that we could do something for him and his cats. We asked Mr Zaw for his CV and asked our family and friends if they knew of any job openings that were suitable for him. Unfortunately, there was no vacancy for Mr Zaw 😔 On the last Saturday that we got to see Mr Zaw before he left for Myanmar, we gave him a card and red packet filled with our blessings for him. It was not much but we hope it gave him some comfort and happy memories to look back upon in these tough times. Mr Zaw was visibly touched and refused to accept the red packet initially. He said that he will use it to buy cat food. He has already lost his job, but his thoughts are still filled with his cats. Each wrinkle on his face seems to represent each moment of his life that went by worrying about his cats.

We hope that we can find adopters for Mr Zaw’s cats, so his cats can have someone to love them as much as Mr Zaw, and we can put Mr Zaw’s mind at ease. Mr Zaw’s cats are about 3 years old. They are all very sweet and have all been sterilised. If you would like to adopt one or more of Mr Zaw’s cats, please let us know. Thank you❣️🐱

In “Winnie the Pooh”, pooh bear said “How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard”. Although Mr Zaw has lost his job and has to bid his cats farewell, he has been a lucky man to have been loved by his cats. We wish him all the best and hope he will be able to find a new job soon. We also hope to be able to share some good news of his cats being adopted with him soon!🙏🏻

Bon voyage Mr Zaw, you will be dearly missed by your cats and all of us 🥺🐱💗

Happy Mothers’ Day to all meowmies, hooman mothers, pet mamas and foster mamas❣️😽😸

Featuring our dear Matilda mummy and her cute little princesses Dolly and Dotty 💗🐱🐱💗 (all still up for adoption!)

“When you look into your mother's eyes, you know that is the purest love you can find on this earth." -Mitch Albom

Thank you to all meowmies of hooman & fur babies for all your heart work and unadulterated love 💗

We hope that we can help to sterilise and rehome more meowmies and their babies still living on the streets so that they can enjoy their future mothers’ days in a comfy home and there will be fewer animals suffering on the streets 🙏🏻 In the meantime, please stay safe and well, our dear stray meowmies!🙏🏻

Every goodbye is difficult but some goodbyes are just more heartbreaking and painful than others. Next to Wilbur and so many of our other beloved stray babies, our goodbye to Kor Kor and Mei Mei is probably one of the saddest ones that we had to say 😭💔

On Wednesday, 22 March 2023, we took over the care of two neonatal kittens from Angela, a kind lady helping to feed the cats in an industrial canteen. Her hands were full but she knew she had to rescue these two babies when a worker informed her about them. We, too, could not turn a blind eye to the kittens’ plight, so we agreed to look after them temporarily, before another more experienced fosterer made space for them. Their mummy was missing and they were from a factory where other kittens had either gone missing or passed away from lorry accidents or illnesses 😿💔

From the photos, Kor Kor and Mei Mei did not seem that small, so when we first met them, we were surprised by how tiny they were. They were smaller than our palms and still needed to be bottle fed 🥺 They were sooo cuuuteee but we were also worried that we would not be able to take good care of them, especially after what had happened to Wilbur 😿

Thankfully, the first few days went well. Kor Kor and Mei Mei were active and would play with each other. They were also drinking well and meowing loudly, just like how healthy kittens their age should be doing. With each morning that we woke up with them next to us, still alive and attempting to climb out of their box, we were so grateful and happy. It was a blessing. “Hello! Are you hungry? Awww you’re sooo cuuuteeee 💗🐱 squishyyy” We would talk to them like this every morning, and they would respond with little squeaks, high pitched meows and kitten eyes. Most times, they would be sleeping either on top of the hot water bottle or beside it, and they will huddle together. They were sooo sweet and adorable 🥺🐱💗

Unfortunately, the good times did not last very long 😭 On the evening of Sunday, 26 March 2023, Mei Mei looked weak and pale and she refused to drink her milk 😿 She also was not meowing. It was close to midnight and we were really worried and helpless. We quickly changed and brought Mei Mei to Mount Pleasant Jalan Gelenggang (the nearest emergency hospital) but it was closed (they no longer do emergency cases) and the doctor from Companion Vet was doing an emergency surgery, so we brought her to VES at Whitley Road instead.

Doctor Steph from VES said that Mei Mei was probably suffering from fading kitten syndrome as she was visibly smaller and weaker than her brother, and usually when kittens her age don’t gain as much weight as they should be gaining, it is a cause for concern. She put Mei Mei on an IV drip and inside an oxygen tank. The poor little one was suffering so much at such a young age 😭💔

After giving Mei Mei a few loving strokes and asking her to stay strong, we went home with just Kor Kor inside the box. We told Kor Kor to stay strong too and prayed hard for Mei Mei to recover 🙏🏻 A few hours later, the hospital called and told us that Mei Mei did not make it 😭😭😭

Just when we thought things could not get worse, later that evening, Kor Kor also spurned his milk 😭 He was still drinking milk before we went to the hospital to visit Mei Mei. It was really devastating. We could not lose any more kittens 😭 As it was late, we had to bring Kor Kor to an emergency vet. The clinics nearby were full, so we had to bring Kor Kor to Westside Emergency Vet. We thought that Kor Kor would survive as there was still some glimmer of hope in his eyes and he seemed stronger than Mei Mei. We really hoped that the vet could save him 😭

The next morning, the vet called and said that Kor Kor had tested positive for Panleukopenia virus. They tried their best for Kor Kor but Panleukopenia is a very nasty virus and poor Kor Kor was too young and weak to defeat the virus 😭😭😭

Angela said that her friend tried giving bitter gourd juice to a kitten with Panleukopenia before and it helped to cure the kitten from the virus. If only we had known earlier 😭 In future, if any of you encounter a kitten that is not eating, maybe you can try giving the kitten bitter gourd juice 🙏🏻

We are so so sorry our beloved Mei Mei and Kor Kor… 😭💔 Sorry that we did not manage to raise you until you were old enough to be adopted by a kind family and to experience life beyond your little cardboard box 😭💔 We hope that you had comfort in each other and got to experience some love and joy when we were feeding you all milk, burping you all, stimulating your p*e and p**p and cuddling you all. Play freely over the rainbow bridge little dearies 🙏🏻💐🌈

Kor Kor and Mei Mei’s treatment amounted to S$2,116.18. The cost of their cremation was S$208. If you would like to contribute a little to Kor Kor and Mei Mei’s treatment and cremation, please PayNow to Bunny at 97592960. Thank you very much 🙏🏻😿💗 If we receive any excess donations, we will pass them to our friends from and to buy food for the stray animals, and we will share the receipts with you 🙏🏻

Socky and Millie have been adopted together❣️😸🎉

Dearest Socky, you have come such a long way from the poor little furless baby to the chubby fearless handsome big boy that you are today. We are so proud of you, our brave and clever boy Socky boy!

With each passing day that you stayed with us, our fondness for you grew. You were so cooperative when we showered you with the medicated shampoo and applied essential oils for you, and you would always sit beside us, purr loudly and look at us with your huge round innocent kitten eyes. You were also great fun to be with, always easily amused by little toys like McDonald’s happy meal toys and cat toys. You are sooo cuuuteee you know? 😻 You are sooo clever too! Your Haiyang korkor said you know how to switch off the lights at home! (Video available on IG) It is a-meow-zing 😻

When we brought you out for cat therapy sessions, you charmed the socks off (pun intended!) all the staff and patients. Everypawdy loved you and found you super adorable. One of the staff even asked if you had contact lenses on and if you had your nose dyed pink 😹 Your little pink nose and mega round eyes are your trademarks.

Whether it is with humans or animals you are always so friendly. All the cats at home enjoyed your company. Without you, the house suddenly seems so empty and quiet. The cats seem to feel your absence too 😿 We no longer hear your babyish meows and loud purrs 😔

We miss you so much that we actually went to buy a Grogu plushie that makes cute noises, so that it feels like you are still with us. Don’t you think you look a bit like Grogu with your small face, big eyes and big ears? Heehee (scroll down to see Leia hugging Grogu after Socky got adopted 🥺)

In “The Mandalorian”, Din Djarin told Moff Gideon (about Grogu), “He means more to me than you will ever know.” You, Socky, mean more to us than you will ever know too. We love you and wish you a lifetime of love and happiness ahead with your new family, our little Grogu 🐱💗

Dearest Millie, our pretty little shy and timid but still super sweet girl, the clever girl that ran away but came back again to ask for food with your cute round kitten eyes and tiny frame, we love you so much. With your head butts, kitten kisses, soft meows and gentle demeanour (only towards us but it’s ok 😹 we noticed you are not so gentle with Socky haha), you are so endearing and lovely. We always have the urge to squish your face. You have such a cute face, just like Totoro and Ben Ben (grey tabby cats from the same factory but different litters).

Millie, the poor girl who always only eats a little and has the rest of your food eaten by the other cats, please eat more ok? Your new family loves you a lot. Please be a good girl and eat more so you can stay healthy and they don’t have to worry about you. May you lead your best life ever with your new family 🐱💗

Dear Haiyang, Uncle Leon and Auntie Xuning, thank you for adopting Socky and Millie together so they have each other for company, and for doting on them with treats and toys and giving them such a comfortable home to live in. We saw your sincerity in adopting Socky and Millie. From the beginning, you had been very proactive. You meshed up your place up very quickly, asked many questions and made the effort to visit the cats before committing to the adoption. Socky and Millie are really lucky to have found you 🙏🏻 As much as we miss them, we are really happy for them 💗

When we visited Millie and Socky on their birthday, we asked you if Socky and Millie have brought more trouble or joy to you. Without any hesitation, you answered “more joy”. We also witnessed your heartwarming interaction and little gestures of love towards Socky and Millie, as well as your lively banter on the cleaning of the litter box. It is really touching and genuine. Socky and Millie have truly found a lovely family to love and care for them. We had started harbouring thoughts of keeping Socky forever (we love Millie a lot too but Socky had been with us for a longer period of time), but you turned up and gave Socky and Millie a home. This is fate.

When Uncle first visited the cats, he asked us to reserve Socky for him. We told him, “no need to reserve, if it’s meant to be, he will be yours”. It turned out that it was indeed meant to be.

It was really difficult to say goodbye to Socky and Millie but if Socky and Millie have to go somewhere, it would be your home.

Thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts 🙏🏻🐱💗

亲爱的海洋、叔叔和阿姨:

谢谢您们给予Socky和Millie一个温暖的家。当阿姨被问到领养猫猫带给您们麻烦还是欢乐,您毫不犹疑地回答说”欢乐多一些”,让我们倍感温馨。当叔叔第一次探访Socky和Millie时,您交代我们要帮您保留Socky,我们告诉您不用保留,有缘的话它就是您的。结果缘分确实把您们牵到彼此了,恭喜您哦😸

与Socky和Millie离别是痛苦的,但是您们的家让我们可以放心的让Socky和Millie留下,看到您们那么疼爱Socky和Millie,我们也感到非常欣慰,替它们高兴。在这里,我们想由衷地感谢您们🙏🏻🐱💗

We would also like to thank everypawdy who has touched Socky’s and Millie’s lives in one way or another: kind cat angel Angela; our friends from and ; the team from The Gentle Vet for helping Socky to put his socks back on; for helping Socky and Millie to take the cutest pawtraits and helping them to look for adopters; the patients, staff and volunteers who enjoyed interacting with Socky during cat therapy sessions at Ang Mo Kio Thye Hwa Kwan Hospital; for giving Socky yummy treats; anyone who has ever found Socky and Millie cute or enjoyed reading their stories and anyone who has popped by the adoption drives that Socky attended to give him some love. Thank you everypawdy 🙏🏻🐱💗

Three days ago last year, our little spider cat Wilbur passed away 😿😭💔 Until now, the image of him covered in cobwebs and crawling out with all his might from under an old rusty metal cabinet remains etched in our hearts.

It was a Saturday evening and we were feeding the stray doggies and kitties as usual when suddenly, a tiny grey figure greeted us. Upon closer look, it was a little kitten! How cute! He was struggling to keep his eyes open and had his face covered in cobwebs 😿 So pitiful 😿 One of his eyes seemed glued shut. We had never met any cat like that before 😭💔

Wilbur really mustered all his strength to walk towards us. It was as if he knew we could provide him with some form of relief, whether it’s food, love or anything at all. Looking at him, we just had to bring him home for a shower and a new life. He looked so frail and dusty, and his siblings and mum were nowhere in sight. The workers didn’t know where they were too. The poor baby must have been the runt of the litter 😿

And so we carried little Wilbur into the only available carrier we had, a bag kindly donated by our friend Cindy, meant for human belongings. Yes, Wilbur was so small that he could fit into a human bag and would not escape, even with the zip ajar for fresh air.

Upon reaching home, we quickly brought Wilbur to the bathroom for a shower. It was then that we discovered that Wilbur’s body was teeming with fleas 😿 One by one, we removed the fleas from his tiny body. He was so small that even our toothpaste tube was larger than him 🥺 Imagine being covered in fleas and having the fleas suck the life and blood out of you when you are already so small and weak 😭 The entire bathtub was filled with fleas and dust. It was only after maybe about five or six rounds of changing the water that the fleas were gradually out of sight and the water looked clearer.

After drying Wilbur up and wrapping him in a towel, we fed him some kitten milk and put him to sleep. We were pleased that Wilbur was finally clean and could get a good night’s sleep, or so we thought.

Alas, the next morning, we woke up to the worst sight and news ever. We heard little cries in our sleep and woke up to see what had happened. Was baby Wilbur hungry? Did he need something? To our horror, we found that little Wilbur was not licking when we tried to feed him kitten milk, and his breathing was very shallow. His gums were very pale too 😿 When we brought him to the vet, the vet said that Wilbur had passed away. That hit us really hard 😭 We wondered if it was because he had caught a cold from the shower or if the milk didn’t sit well with him or if we should have fed him more during the night 😣 The doctor said that it might have been because Wilbur was very weak to begin with, without his mum’s nourishment, and it didn’t help that the fleas were sucking his blood. That probably caused him to be anaemic 😿 Whatever the cause, we couldn’t help but blame ourselves and feel crushed and devastated by Wilbur’s death 😰 He had only just entered our lives for a day before he departed 😭

Wilbur holds a special place in our hearts and always will. He was a terrific cat like Wilbur from “Charlotte’s Web” was a terrific pig.

In “Charlotte’s Web”, Charlotte said to Wilbur, “You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that.” Indeed, Wilbur, you were our friend, our brave little baby, albeit just for a day. We hope that you felt as much love as we did when we showered you and that you enjoyed being clean and loved before you left. A human’s life can’t help being something of a mess, with the wars, eating of sentient beings, crimes, struggles, sufferings, etc. By helping you and other animals, perhaps we are also helping ourselves and bringing some much needed light and joy into our own lives. Wilbur, we are sorry that your time with us was so short and we could not show you more of the beauty of the world, but we hope that the last few moments you spent with us were comfortable, happy and beautiful for you. Rest in peace dearie 😽🙏🏻🌈💐 xoxo
