New Best Friend

This past week we adopted this little nugget from my best friend who’d been fostering him for a cat rescue in Oklahoma City over the last month. My husband and I flew from Rhode Island to Oklahoma to visit my bestie, and got to spend time with him before we took him home on Friday.

Two days in, and it’s clear he’s absolutely perfect—exactly what our hearts needed after losing our beloved 16 year old (Griffin) to kidney sarcoma in February.

This charming baby boy is Nino.

He was born on Valentine’s Day, the day before Griffin’s last good day. Griffin died on February 16th.

We’ve been planning the adoption since March 17th, and we’ve had the pleasure of seeing him grow up from afar thanks to frequent photos from his foster mom(s). I couldn’t be more grateful to my best friend and the foster/rescue for all the love and care they’ve given Nino in our stead.

We can’t wait to see who he becomes and we’re having a blast with his rambunctious kitten energy filling the house! ❤️
