'The little fighter who was almost left behind': Person adopts one kitten but has to leave his sick brother behind, their friend steps in to rescue the remaining kitten, and now that he’s recovering, the two are on track for future kitty playdates

When going to adopt a cat, this person was chosen by one sibling out of a pair. The other sibling was sick and could not be brought in to be with her other cats. Heartbroken, she called her friend, and that friend came to the rescue and adopted the sick brother. And now, kitty playdates are on the horizon.

Splitting up bonded pairs is something that we are always, always against. Bonded pairs need one another. They are each other's other halves. But what happens if splitting them up is necessary? What happens when you, as the one adopting, see no other choice? Maybe that choice exists, but it doesn't exist in that moment, you don't see it, you don't know what to do. When that happens, you call someone who you think might help. Although we don't think that the friend who made the phone call in this story knew what amazing thing the person the called would do.

These two friends decided to make the best out of a difficult situation. One friend adopted the cat who chose her, and the other friend adopted his brother - the sick kitty. They split them up. But not forever. These two cats will get to see one another in kitty playdates.

It's so difficult for us to read stories about bonded kitty siblings being separated, but out of all of them, this one is the least bad. Because we know the kitties are in good hands. We can tell, just from the description of this story, from the friend crying, from you jumping in to do the right thing, that the kitties are going to be safe and sound in your hands. And the fact that you and the other cat owner are friends gives us even more hope, the fact that you are already talking about kitty playdates when everyone is feeling a little better. That is how things should be.

We have a feeling, deep in our hearts, that everything is going to be purrfectly good here, and that you will get the two decades that you want with this cat. With love like this coming from you, with the level of care that we can tell you are going to provide this kitty with, we know that there is no way you would ever leave her alone when she needs you. You are the kind of cat owner who would spot illnesses as early as possible, and sometimes, those few days can make the biggest difference. We wish you all many, many happy and healthy years together.
