Beautiful poem. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm going to hug my own rescue kitty a little tighter.

Thank you.

All rescue kitties deserve extra hugs and love. I'm happy you've helped out one of these gentle souls.

Thank you, Sean. Heartbreaking to lose Poe. I try to take solace in knowing he's in a place now where no thoughtless or heartless human can hurt him.

Short and poignant. I'm so glad I'm involved with rescue.

Thank you. I'm happy I'm involved in rescues too. It means so much to the animals. Three of my dad's six cats were abandoned kitties we rescued and gave a new home.

There is a cat in every one of us.

I see that now.
