Percy — My Beloved Baby

On September 29, 2014, I went to PetSmart to rescue a cat. There were eight cats to choose from, and when I asked about one little boy, they said, “Oh, him? He doesn’t even have a name.”

I said, “Good—that’s the cat I want.”

And so Percy came home with me for $5.00. 

He was about three years old when we found each other, and for nearly twelve wonderful years, we shared a life filled with love, companionship, laughter, comfort, and countless precious memories. Percy was truly my special boy and became my Baby, my constant companion, and such a beloved part of my family.

He lived a long, delicious life and was deeply loved every single day. As he grew into a true senior cat, his little body eventually could take no more. Letting him go was the hardest act of love I have ever had to give him, but I know he is now peaceful and free from pain.

I will miss my Percy forever. I will miss his little face, his presence, his routines, and simply knowing he was here.

But most of all, I am grateful.

Grateful that out of eight cats, we chose each other.
Grateful for almost twelve beautiful years together.
Grateful that an unnamed little cat became my Percy, my Baby, and one of the greatest loves of my life.

Run free, my precious boy. You were loved beyond words, and you always will be.

Love forever,
Mommy
