Donovan

2014 - 2017

Donovan was rescued with his brother Dalton on 9/12/14 at approx 13 wks old..
he , along with his 4 brothers and one sister were born under a porch by the complex i live in.. i, along with a neighbor, started feeding the litter at around 5 wks old... one by one they were rescued.. the last 2 Oliver and Olivia in Nov..
Donovan was slow to warm up to me.. it was 16 days of hissing at me after he was rescued before he came around..
but after that , he was thee most loving cat out of 5 rescues and my first cat i adopted..
he would sleep with me every night, would follow me from room to room, and just wanted to be where i was..
he loved halibut fish whenever we had fish -n-chips, potatoes, yogurt, ice cream,, anything i was eating, he wanted some, and i was always happy to oblige him..
He loved to watch television!! i would find him watching the aquarium channel i would put on for the cats and he would happily sit on my lap and watch netflix with me.. even fashion documentaries.. i'm sure he was bored silly..
Donovan started showing signs of kidney failure on jan 31.. at first i thought he had an infected tooth or gums as he was drooling a lot.. i took him to the vets, had blood and urine tests done to make sure he was okay....
i was hoping for a prescription of antibiotics and he would be home again, right as rain...
but the next day i got the call that would rip my heart from my chest..
he was in renal failure and the prognosis wasn't good...
it was best to stop his suffering and let him be at peace again..
it was thee hardest decision of my entire life..
my son accompanied me at 4pm that afternoon after i spent the day hugging and kissing him and telling him how much i loved him...
he was loving me and rubbing his face on mine and i thought i would die ..
it still hurts,,,
i got his ashes back from Gateway today and his brother Dalton started sniffing the box that contained his ashes as soon as i got home..
Rest with the Angels my sweet Prince Donovan,, i love you and always will ..
your mom, Tracey
Dalton, Marley, Chloe, Gloria and Julio miss you too xoxoxoxo
