Good Night, Sweet Mr. Moustache and Sweet Rupert


Last week was a tough one for PFA volunteers as we said good-bye to two very sweet young male cats who were euthanized due to the effects of Feline Leukemia.

One was our sweet tuxedo boy, Mr. Moustache (above), who had been rescued and taken in to foster care after living as a stray and was finally getting a shot a real home.

The other was a friendly, chatty young guy named Rupert who has been living at a feeding station for months. He was on the wait list for a foster home, but unfortunately was not rescued before the horrible disease claimed him. He wasn't any more than two years old.

It's a rough life on the street for stray cats. They face starvation, cold, traffic, human cruelty and disease. It's a shame that these two loving young cats are gone before their time. But, they were loved and will be missed.

So sad. It's good they al least got a bit of time in a foster home before.
