Senior ginger stray cat who's tired of living in pain chooses a family to adopt him for his final days, finally finds happiness and peace and crosses the rainbow bridge knowing he was truly loved

Adopting a senior stray cat in need of help, giving them a chance at a comfortable retirement, making sure that they know what real love feels like, even if it's just for the last portion of their lives… there is nothing kinder and more beautiful than that. 

Most people adopt kittens. This is a fact, and there is a reason for it. We love our cats, and we want to spend as much time with them as possible. So, we normally get them young - so that we have that time. But kittens are not the only ones in need of love. They are not the only ones in need of homes. 

So many senior cats wait in shelters for years and years on end for their purrfect forever home. These senior cats are usually there for a reason. Some are cats that have been surrendered by their owners, some of them had their original owners pass, some are abandoned after they get "too difficult" to take care of in their older age. It is never the cat's fault, thhe cat's are always confused by their new situations, and them being in the shelters at this older age does not mean that they are "bad" pets in any way. 

Seeing senior kitties in shelters is difficult enough, but what is even worse is seeing them on the streets. More often than not, stray cats don't live to a very old age. There are too many risk factors out there when they are trying to survive on their own. And those who do - the cats who make it to seniorhood outside - don't deserve to live out the rest of their days working to survive. We know it, and sometimes, they know it too.

This senior kitty decided that he was too tired to keep on fighting to survive outside. It was time to retire. It was time to be spoiled by some humans. The humans who adopted this senior knew that he was sick, and although they didn't know exactly how long he had to live, they knew it wasn't going to be long, so they decided to make the very best out of every single moment that he had left.
