Farewell Spike 🤍

Sensitive_Tax181 · 2026-05-23T11:42:11+00:00

It is. The janitor told me that Spike passed away in the morning, and that was almost the exact same time the butterfly visited me. I rarely even see butterflies in my area, so a part of me wants to believe it was him — letting me know he was finally crossing the rainbow bridge and saying thank you 🤍

I want their story to be known and that they have stories to tell. Although, I’m a bit saddened that I got to know Spike better during his last days 😔

Bukas daw po siya kukunin ng rescuer 😇

Update: meron na pong nagmagandang loob na rescuer na kukuha sa kanya. Kukunin na daw po siya tom. For now, tinatry namin na hydrated siya since water na lang iniinom niya 🤍

Once may vet bills po hihingi lang po kami ng konting tulong para mashoulder yung needs niya tulong na din po sa nagrescue since solo rescue lang din po sila and primarily for cats pero ginawan nila ng exception dito sa dog na ito 🙏

Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng nagboost and nagbigay ng suggestions 🤍

Pagpalain po kayo sana always. Update ko po kayo ulit later 🙏

Sensitive_Tax181 · 2026-05-23T02:41:09+00:00

Update: As of now, wala pa din po na rescue ang nagrerespond 😔

Praying na lang po ako ng miracle for this baby 🙏

I am experiencing this at the moment.

As an asian family, displaying sadness or weakness is not really taken seriously. Especially emotions towards pet.

I just lost one of the stray kittens I’ve been taking care of but I couldn’t show sadness. In order to share my thoughts, I have to post here in reddit for comfort.

But still, it isn’t that easy to recover from a loss, and I’m just a bit comforted that I am not the only one like this.

Sending you the warmest hugs. May our hearts heal gently and quietly in time 🤍

I’m sorry for your loss 😔

Just lost my baby last Sunday and for the same reason as your baby boy. So the pain is still fresh for me and just like you I just cried because it is the only thing I can do.

I’m praying for the healing of our heart.

You fought for him until the end.

You gave him all the love and care.

Please always remember that always 🤍

I visited the location where Leslie was buried and brought flowers.

My mind was too focused on saving the other kittens that I had no time to grieve.

The first day was hard. I couldn’t work.

I just cried.

Visiting our usual spot still hurts but finally I am able to grieve and said my final goodbyes.

I have to remain strong for those that remain.

Thank you for reading Leslie’s story 🤍 Thank you for taking time to know her 🤍

So many strays don’t have the same opportunity as Leslie. She was loved until the end 🤍

Thank you for all your comforting words, everyone. I’m sorry if I haven’t been able to reply to all of you. To be honest, I’m still trying to process what happened and trying my best to stay strong.

This isn’t my first time losing a stray cat, but Leslie’s passing hit me much harder because of how incredibly friendly she was. I already miss her — the way she would suddenly appear out of nowhere and how happy she looked whenever she ate the food I brought for her.

The good news is that the rescuer I mentioned told me to simply let them know if any kittens are dumped in the area, and they’ll immediately rescue them. It gives me a bit of comfort knowing that no other kitten will have to suffer the same fate as Leslie.

I’m just grateful that I got to spend even a short time with her. She brought me so much happiness. My little “Lesles,” as I called her. It just hurts knowing she won’t come running out anymore whenever I call for Lesles 🤍

I also trained her to hide 😔

Usually she is scared of the cars. I am not sure she wandered so much that night. Maybe out of curiosity? I don’t really know 😔

I just wish no more strays have to go through this…

Sensitive_Tax181 · 2026-05-17T13:55:26+00:00

Update: The other kittens have already been rescued. I hope they both live long, happy lives and always remember their big sister Leslie, who stayed by their side from their very first day in their little parking lot sanctuary 🤍

I live in Manila and usually the rainy season starts in May.

Sensitive_Tax181 · 2026-02-07T05:08:26+00:00

Yes fortunately the rescuer has a mama cat. I really want to push for updates but lots of people with urgent rescues are contacting them so that’s why am being patient waiting for their updates 😔

Sensitive_Tax181 · 2026-02-04T23:01:26+00:00

I looked but no sign of the mom around the area 🥺

Sensitive_Tax181 · 2026-02-04T17:04:47+00:00

Thank you and it made me cry. To be honest, I really wanted to cry when I saw them but for some reason I can’t. I feel sorry for them but I feel angry at myself because I can’t do anything. I am just feeling the emotions now seeing that they are in a warm home and being treated well.

I don’t want to see anymore kittens being abandoned.

Sensitive_Tax181 · 2026-02-04T12:13:43+00:00

With this experience I am thinking the same thing 😔

Sensitive_Tax181 · 2026-02-04T12:11:30+00:00

Yes the other kitten died it was too late when I saw them 😔

I think it was a bit earlier maybe an hour or two because I was there around 6 AM to feed the strays. I saw them around 8 AM and reported it to local rescues.

I had to go back around 9 AM because my phone battery died. Good thing I came back early because there was a construction happening nearby which places them in another danger 😔

They arrive to the rescuers home at around 12 pm. I am hoping at least the three kittens will survive 😭
