Written by her wonderful foster, Mia Brabyn-Jones:
“A sad update on Emilie. I still don’t really have the words to do her or her life justice, so for now, I made a little slideshow of some of my favourite Emilie photos and videos.Last Wednesday, Emilie tragically and unexpectedly passed away. Emilie was a very fearful cat who until being brought in by Furry Tales, likely had a very difficult start in life. Despite this, she was a sweet and quiet girl with a gentle soul and a kind heart, who just wanted to feel safe, secure, and seen. After spending about a month at the cattery, with amazing, loving care from Donna and Sheldon, she came home with me to continue her socialization journey & pathway to becoming a pampered house kitty.
While I’m sure she wasn’t my biggest fan, she was and is so loved, and I’m so proud of her for being so brave ! During her time here, Emilie began to accept more pets, accepted Churu treats from me, ate in front of me, and occasionally fell asleep on or under my desk while I was working. It may not seem like much, but every baby step was a huge milestone ❤️.
Without getting into all the details, Emilie’s sudden passing, to my understanding, was not something that could have been foreseen or prevented. Regardless, I’m profoundly grateful to all of the wonderful ladies (plus Sheldon) in the foster and admin team who have been so kind, patient, and supportive every step of the way for both Emilie and I.
Emilie and I may not have had a long time together, but she was loved and cherished while she was here—it is such a privilege to love cats like her, however long they are here for.
I think she is in cat heaven watching over all of the other shy babies, and probably grumbling about her Churus being the wrong flavour ❤️.“ Emilie’s foster was also kind enough to put up a beautiful slideshow to remember this lovely lady.
