This is more of a confession cause I’m feeling really down and just want to share my feelings.
Three years ago I drunkenly adopted a barn cat from one of my friends thinking I could give him the whole world.
Being a college student - was not true at all. I racked up $800 in credit card debt between vet visits, food I couldn’t afford, etc. So after a year and a half I relinquished him to a shelter. No one I knew could or would take him for me.
He was my best friend, slept in my bed cuddled up next to me, would meow at me from one of my windows when my car rolled up, sit on my shoulders when I was doing homework, etc.
I still cry about it. I wish I had never gotten him in the first place. The dumbest decision I’ve ever made in my life, that unfortunately, affected his life too.
The shelter is no kill, and I stalked that website everyday checking to see if he got adopted, and one day he didn’t show up as available anymore. So I keep telling myself he’s in a better home.
But man. I wish I could take all of that back.
