'Stephen sent you a friend': Devastated after her feline, 'Stephen', crossed the rainbow bridge, cat mom finds a tiny kitten in a stroke of feline fate with the same spirit as her soul cat

At some point or another, feline fam, we're going to have to say goodbye to our kitties. 

We know, it's not a comfortable subject to talk about, but it is the pawsitively harsh reality. Everyone has to cross the rainbow bridge at some point, and even though our cats may have nine lives, they still will leave us before we leave them. All we can do is try to give them the best life pawssible before that happens. 

But what do you do when one does? How does one grieve the loss of a piece of their own feline-shaped heart? Well, sometimes, you can get a little help from your old friends even after they pass. After dealing with the loss of her soul cat, Stephen, one cat mom was looking for a way to help her with the pain. In a stroke of feline fate, she found a kitten being given away on Facebook that looked exactly like Stephen! We think he brought the two together, and now the new kitten will live on in his purrfect memory.
