Feline-loving kid forced to surrender her childhood cat, but writes touching letter to potential pawrents to help her get adopted: “I will miss him but if he’s happy, I’m happy”

Happy Monday, feline fam. Do you remember your childhood cat? We do. We remember snuggling with them at night, playing outside with them, and waking up next to them nearly every day until they crossed over the rainbow bridge. We also remember how sad it was when that happened. We felt so lost and hopeless, but we learned two impawtant lessons from it: sometimes things happen that are out of our control, and all we can do is love our pets as much as we can until we can't anymore.

We don't know the circumstances of why the feline-loving kid in this post was forced to surrender her childhood cat, but she was. However, she wrote a terrifically touching letter to any potential pawrents explaining everything she knew about "Bootsie," including her likes, her dislikes, all the nicknames she has, and so much more. It just goes to show how much a cat can affect a child, and how strong that connection can be. Scroll down to read the whole letter and more about her below. We hope Bootsie gets adopted soon!
