Java
Java passed away on March 3rd. 2026. The most sweetest baby.
He was part of my TNR batch. I had so many kittens and adult cats, that I trapped and took in to get fixed. That is why he has a clipped ear. The shelter kept the kittens & I got back the adults. Java was kept. Until I got a call, she said please come and get Cookie, he is unadoptable. I was very confused as I have never heard that before BUT again, I have had so many different cats. I give them all a chance. And her shelter demanded perfect cats, the way they handled kittens really bothered me. Not abusive, just a lot of rough petting and handling.

Anyway I get to her shelter, thinking I am picking up Cookie, Cookie was a black torte. So she hands me Java, I was like this isn’t Cookie? She was like I dunno whatever. I was like ok???? Thanks.
I took Java home. At first I put im outside, he didn’t like it. I could tell. So I put him inside and I always like to keep them in pairs. So I grabbed Scar, another kitten she didn’t like. Because of his looks. He was not perfect.
Scar and Java were buddies. Java was an amazing cat. Talkative and sweet.
Losing him hurt. But I have had so much death, I couldn’t cry. I think I cried a tiny bit the following day. Anyway I miss you Java. I hope I gave you the perfect life and I hope you know, she was wrong. You were the perfect cat.
