We adopted Mimi when she just turned 4 months old. When I went to the shelter, she was the first kitty I saw. She called out to me and I knew she was the one. The way we connected was like unlike anything I had ever felt before. I knew that I was going to give my whole self for this little kitten.
The shelter had told me that Mimi had a mild upper respiratory infection, but that it would pass in time-they were wrong.
We had taken Mimi to the hospital after she went most of the day without eating. Then after going home that night, she had a terrifying seizure. We were so scared and I just remember crying hysterically as I tried to keep as much composure as I could while driving back to the hospital. It was that awful morning that we learned that Mimi was succumbing to FIP, and that we had to put her to sleep.
Still to this day, even thinking about it brings me to tears. We only spent 10 days with Mimi, but those were some of the happiest days of my life. Mimi brightened up the dark spaces in my heart and was the most loving little kitty. I’m still so devastated by what happened, but I’m at least a little comforted by the fact that we were able to give Mimi a loving home, even if it was just for a short time. I would hate to think of her still suffering through this horrid disease alone in the shelter.
Mimi was my first baby, and she’ll always be in my heart. It’s just so hard without her right now. I know this pain too shall pass, and I thought posting about it would give me a good outlet.
Thank you to everyone who read this, and I wish all the best for you and your kitties <3
Mama loves you, Mimi.
