When we first shared Blossom’s story, we asked for hope.
You gave her so much more than that.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
Because of your generosity, we were able to move quickly when Blossom became so sick. Watching a cat who is normally so full of life suddenly stop eating, stop playing, and hide away was heartbreaking.
Today, we’re so grateful to tell you that our girl is back.
She’s off all of her medications, eating well, gaining weight, and every evening she puts on what we lovingly call her “crazy pants.” She tears through the house at full speed, skids around corners, wrestles with her foster siblings, and then curls up in her favourite little bed. The sparkle that made us fall in love with her has returned.
Because she’s feeling so well, her oncologist believes she’s a good candidate for chemotherapy. Next week she’ll have another ultrasound, chest X-rays, bloodwork, and begin treatment. After two rounds of chemotherapy, we’ll repeat the ultrasound to see how her rare cancer is responding. We don’t know what the future holds, but we do know this: every decision we make will be for Blossom and her quality of life.
Our promise to Blossom has never changed.
She has spent her whole life fighting. First to survive. Then to recover. And now to beat cancer. She has already given us so much more than we ever could have asked for.
When she finishes chemotherapy—not if, when—she won’t be looking for a forever home.
She’s already home.
Somewhere along the way, this sweet little girl stopped being “our foster” and simply became our family. We cannot imagine our lives without our crazy-pants Blossom, and no matter how much time we are lucky enough to have with her, she will never spend another day wondering if she’s loved or where she belongs.
Thank you for giving her this chance.
Thank you for believing in her.
Thank you for helping us fight for the little cat who never stopped fighting for herself.
With love and endless gratitude,
Blossom’s Mom & Dad ❤️
