I don't usually speak first. I'm a proper lady - a little reserved, a little dignified, and very particular about who earns my trust. But today, I'm setting all of that aside. Because I'm scared, and there's no time left to be shy about it.
I'm Sasha. I'm about 7 years old, a beautiful brown and white tabby, and I have been loved deeply my entire life. My mommy held me when I was just a kitten and never let me feel alone - not once. Now she's had to leave for somewhere that can care for her the way she always cared for us. My heart is so heavy I can barely find words.
But then I look at Mr. T, and I breathe again.
He is a chill guy that occasionally tries to get me to chase him around the house. I pretend I'm not amused. I usually am. But beyond the playfulness, he is my safe place. When everything feels uncertain and the house feels too still, he finds me - under the bed, in the closet, wherever I've tucked myself away - and he stays. No fuss. No questions. Just his warm little presence reminding me that I'm not alone. And on the sweeter, calmer days? We sit together in the window, watching birds and rustling leaves like it's the finest show on earth. We curl up side by side while the TV plays softly, and the whole world feels just a little more bearable. We have been each other's comfort through everything, and I cannot imagine navigating this without him.
We have until June 1st to find a new home. Please let that sink in.
I'm a calm, gentle soul. I don't ask for much - a quiet corner, a soft blanket, and someone with patient, kind hands. I do warm up, I promise. I just need a little time to know that I'm safe.
We have only ever known love. We have only ever had each other.
Please don't make us face whatever comes next apart.
With all our heart, Ms. Sasha & Mr T
