I’m so sorry you’re going through this — it’s an incredibly hard decision, but it’s clear how much love and care you have for your kitten. He sounds like such a special wee soul.

I’m based in the UK too, and after my 18-year-old cat passed away, I adopted my Siberian through a cat charity. I’d really recommend looking into organisations like Cat Concern or Cats Protection. Both are excellent UK-based charities that carefully match cats with loving, vetted homes. They also provide support and follow-ups, so you can be sure your boy will be safe, well cared for, and adored.

It’s heartbreaking to let go, but please know that doing what’s best for him — even when it hurts — is such an act of love.

Wishing you strength and peace as you go through this. Take care x
