In Memory of Aidan, January 2013

 

What can I say about Aidan (Chuck)? I’ll tell you what I can say. He was the sweetest boy I ever met!! I may have only known him for one month but he has found a place in my heart forever. He never once tried to scratch or bite. He never hissed. The vets all said that he was a love. Even as he became more ill and I would give him his medication, he would politely push my hand away telling me he didn’t want his meds. He was quite the purrer. He always wanted to be petted. The first time I met him was at a showing after seeing a picture of him. He was a bit scared so I didn’t really feel a connection with him. After that I continued elsewhere to look for a kitty but it was hard to communicate with the other organizations. I thought “Hmm I wonder if ‘Chuck’ is still available” and he was!! This time when I met him at the shelter he was saying “Hey look at me! Pet me, pet me!”. So I believe there was reason that I had no luck with other places. This was all so I’d end up with Aidan and he could live out his time in his own home. I’m so very sad but if I had to give up the time that I had with him to avoid this sadness I would say NO WAY! My heart aches for his previous family if they hear that he is gone.
