Your Rufus made me think of my Rosa. Comparable story. He’s beautiful. They’re family. In my heart.

Talking of Rosa. Tomorrow 14 years ago this was the first time she came towards me and sat at my feet. After hiding and running away the 14 previous months she finally picked up enough courage. Within weeks after this she became the cuddliest lap cat

we found a good one, its just I lost my job a month ago and my wife is 8 months pregnant so I feel irresponsible spending money I don’t have, but this is what credit cards are for. he also has stomatitis, in addition to the lymphoma so I’m still struggling with making the most graceful decision for him. I love him so much that I’d rather let him go peacefully than keep him around as a shell of his former glorious self. cats hide pain very well so it’s been a really tough decision I’ve been trying to make these past few weeks. it’s the worst. my wife says I should start a go fund me. but I feel bad asking strangers for help. even if the cancer is cured he still might not have the best quality of life.
it hurts my heart to the maximum

It is heartbreaking for sure. I support you choosing quality time with Rufus. Enjoying the time we do have (right now, today) is often overlooked. Not saying that other measures don’t have their own merit. I am saying right now he is here and feeling well and you can cuddle. A beautiful thing, life’s simple pleasures.
Congratulations on the upcoming baby!!

14 months? I have a ex street cat, and she’s been with me since end of May. No touching so far, not once!. I was asking myself how long this might take… Also I love to read that she’s become the most cuddliest cat, there is still hope for my Toffee!

I consider being sober my 2nd chance at life so I wanted to start the new year as awesome as possible, which worked out great for my new little friend as now he gets a 2nd chance at life too.
When I left for work he was hiding under the couch, but im sure before long he will look at the apartment as his lol

That’s so cool! Happy for the both of you. Don’t worry, Rune will need a few days to get used to his new surroundings, after that he’ll be the boss!

He checked out the different rooms but every time the people upstairs made a loud noise he took off under the couch lol. He is already super cuddly though.
Felt bad having to leave him already while I came to work but i’m sure he will be fine until I get home

Cats are so independent, I guess while you’re working he’s asleep anyhow! But I would also get some toys, they love to play! They are really nice company, at least to me! I have 2, and they make me smile when I get home!

Before I picked him up I grabbed all kinds of stuff and made sure to get him a bunch of toys lol.
I’ve always had cats in my life, nice to have one to call my own again

Cats are key in recovery. They just understand that we need them somehow
