Story

As you know we lost our special little boy, Atlas, 19 Jan. He was just 5 years old and it really has broken my heart to lose him. He was so special for many reasons. As a tiny kitten some utter scumbag, unfit to breathe the same oxygen as you and I, dumped him alive in a wheelie bin, on bin collection day, and left him to die. Thankfully somebody found him just in time and took him to Millstream. I support the shelter already, so as soon as I heard his story I knew I had to bring him home. I just wanted to give him the long, happy and loving life he deserved but sadly the trauma of that incident never left him and he's been fighting his demons ever since. It's only afterwards I realised just how much time I spent with him - his issues meant he needed a lot of help (even though he thought differently!). This, and his back story, are why I think it hit me so hard but I've had time to reflect now the shock has subsided and I try to focus on the happy life he's had since, despite it being short. We did a fundraiser for Millstream when we adopted him, so I thought it fitting now to do another and raise some funds in his memory for this wonderful charity. He always was and always will be our special little boy. Sleep tight beautiful Atlas and know you were loved so, so much xxx
