We knew this will happen one day..
We were prepared mentally.
We were never prepared emotionally.
Such a resilient cat.. he fought a lot.
He went through a lot, has been abused many times.
Watching him dying so slowly, losing weight, barely able to walk was unbearable.
4 April 2023 at 17:17 was the last heartbeat for Jack.
He left..
A piece of our heart died with him.
Our captain left APC. No one can replace him.
Jack was a special cat.. so unique.
He has been one of the first cats to be rescued when APC started.
He lived with us for almost 4 years.
We know he was very happy.
We tried our best to provide him with the best life he deserves.
He fought so hard but sickness got the better of him. His kidneys stopped working.
It was about time…
We were not ready but we cannot be selfish.
We had to let him go. He wanted to go.
Jack is irreplaceable. He left an empty space in our heart. No one can mend the pain we feel or fill the empty space left after his death.
He was truly a captain.
The ship will not sink. Jack will want us to stay strong though in such moments we really wish to stop everything and disappear.
Pain is unbearable. They say time will heal. We don’t believe it does. We just get numb and then get used to their absence.
