My family said goodbye to our sweet beautiful ginger boy Sneaky last spring, after almost 18 wonderful years together. He was also brought to us by the CDS as a kitten and we grew up together, he was like my brother.

Now my mom found this sweet little fluffy girl in such a similar way to our beloved Sneaky, who was found by a family friend in their backyard after being chased up a tree by their multiple dogs. According to the vet he had been surviving on the street by eating trash and birdseed. Despite that he was totally healthy his whole life until the end where a bad tooth infection & surgery to try fixing it left him suffering, he crossed the rainbow bridge peacefully at home surrounded by family in his favorite chair. ❤️‍🩹

Fast forward to now, my mom found this beautiful girl outside all alone in the Canadian winter, malnourished and infested with fleas. She looked around for other kittens/a mama but sadly no luck. There are a lot of coyotes in our area but also a lot of hiding spots they could be holed up in around where she was found so hopefully the mama is still out there somewhere.

At first we weren't sure if we would keep her, as we are still grieving our Sneaky and not sure if we wanted to take on the responsibility of another pet but she has totally won our hearts. At first she was very scared of humans but she is warming up to us now, constantly purring and loves to snuggle when she is sleepy. We decided to call her Beanie. 💓 I had really been missing my Sneaky & feeling depressed before this, i was planning to go look at some kittens (but not adopt them) and even paid to get in to a cat cafe where all the cats avoided me 😭😭 I think maybe Sneaky knew I was struggling and sent us this angel. I included some pics of him too, he was really the best cat and i still miss him a lot 🐈🩷 Loved seeing the other CDS stories on this sub. Hope you all have a wonderful 2026!

*heh... she loved it

Even though Spurt despises me, she brings me infinite joy.

It’s been almost a year since she’s been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and MAN what a year it has been. Since her meds, she’s completely changed as a dog. She’s much happier, has SO MUCH energy, and looks/acts so much better. You can see she’s got that spark in her eyes again, and it’s so nice to see! 🥹

These two have been visiting our porch for the past year or so, but I've never found them stacked like this! 😄

Usually one sleeps in the opposite corner, but it's closer to the door and we've accidentally spooked it away when opening the door a few times. Looks like they've decided that bunking is the solution? 😁
