On the way home from picking up the donated food, I stopped at the house where One-Eyed is living. As I pulled up, the new owner opened the door and darned if One-Eyed didn’t come running out and leaped right on my chest! I held him and snuggled him and his fur was a good receptacle for the leftover tears of the last few days. He looks wonderful! He is fattening up but not to much, his fur is no longer oily and matted, and he just looks like the happiest one-eyed kitty on the planet! I needed that hug so much and the confirmation that we do good work even when sometimes things don’t go as planned.
It’s nice to know how rescues end sometimes. Usually, you probably say good-bye and just have to take the rest on faith. Good for One-eyed.
