Hi… it’s me, Ember!
I wanted to say thank you.
You may remember that I was the little kitten who beat FIP, only to find out my teefies were causing me trouble too. Well, I had my dental surgery, and even though losing seven teeth sounded very scary, I’m feeling so much better now.
My foster mom says I’m back to being my silly self. I chase dental treats when she throws them for me, batting them around and catching them with my paws before I gobble them up. I love my dental kibble, crinkly paper bags, cozy naps, and of course, I still get lots of yummy wet food because my mom and dad say I deserve it.
And that’s the very best part of my update.
They’re not my foster mom and dad anymore.
They’re just… my mom and dad. 💙
After everything I’ve been through, they decided they couldn’t imagine life without me. And they couldn’t imagine life without my best friend, Tyla, either.
So they adopted us both.
I don’t think I can properly explain how happy that makes me.
For a long time, Tyla and I were the shy girls. We watched other kitties meet families while we stayed behind. New people made us nervous, and sometimes we worried that maybe no one would ever see how much love we had tucked away inside our timid little hearts.
But the truth is… we were already home.
From the very first day, our family loved us exactly as we were. They never asked us to be braver, louder, or different. They celebrated every tiny step forward. Every little purr. Every moment of trust.
When I was sick, they sat with me. When my mouth hurt, they made sure I had soft food and comfort. When I was scared, they reminded me I was safe.
And somehow, without us even realizing it, foster became forever.
Thanks to your donations, my mouth doesn’t hurt anymore. Thanks to Pet Patrol, I got the care I needed. And thanks to my family, I never have to wonder where I belong again.
For a little kitten who always seemed to have one more hurdle to jump over, life feels pretty magical right now.
I have my sister. I have my mom and dad. I have a warm bed, a full tummy, and people who love me exactly the way I am.
What more could a little kitty ask for?
With the happiest purrs imaginable,
Ember 💙🐱🏡✨
