#Minterland - I'm sorry to say that our remaining ferals, Audrey and Baxter have now joined Sherlock. Audrey drifted off to sleep two weeks ago, and didn't wake up. We helped Baxter cross last week after a brief illness (not survivable). 💔

So very sorry. Lovely that they’re all together under their tree, where their spirits will welcome the next group to eat and to take shelter. 💔

It's nice to have space in the yard for departed loved ones. My childhood dog (born 1.3 years after me) is in my mother's yard, along with the cat Harold and every other cat but the last one Mom lost, Charlie.

I'm so very sorry, fren. I'm glad they are together under their tree and on the other side of the 🌈 bridge. Love and hugs to the Strange family.

So sorry for your loss. I get so invested in internet cats, and that’s so much less than real, daily care over years. The heartache is deep, I know. 💔

Oh friend I just saw this. I am so sorry for your loss of Audrey and Baxter. That they lived such a long life while feral is a tribute to your love and care. I’m sure their and Sherlock’s sweet spirits are still there surrounding and protecting everyone. Sending hugs. 🩵

I'm so sorry to hear this. We become as attached to our ferals as our housecats! 💔 I recently lost a feral cat that I fed & provided a comfy bed & protection for in my shed for 6 years. I miss him, and I know you'll miss yours, too.

Oh no. I am glad they are together under their tree. May their memories be for blessings. They always leave a little holw in your heart when they go. But at least they knew you loved them and you were able to care for thwm even at the end (and after).

They were all adults when we moved in, and were conservatively around 14. They were a big part of our lives, and we miss them terribly ❤️

But, we're so grateful we knew them! We're keeping the shelters and feeding in place, because there's a very large population of ferals here. We've already got Clyde and Maverick coming around (say goodbye to your troublepuffs, boys) ❤️

All three are buried in our yard, by their tree. We're going to add another shelter by it, for their wild frens ❤️

They would be pleased to have their wild frens taken care of

So sad. Given how hard this is just to read, I imagine it's far more difficult to experience. Newton, Socks & Nanny send their feline hugs & kisses your way
