All of ours (we have had 13 before our latest 4) ..are buried in our backyard with great love. It's a pet cemetery by now! We had 8 all together for many years, strays or desperate ones.

I made the stray a bed at the top our steps as he's too scared to be inside and we bought him a 200 dollar plus cat house with bed too, but I think it's a bit dangerous because if a cat is attacked in there, there's nowhere to run but he can take his chances in the rain in there at least.

Absolutely agree! My family doctor's wife used to have me fix her computer, and I visited them frequently. One day I found she had a rather ancient cat hanging around her office. It turns out that this guy had for many years been a wild tom who all but terrorized the neighbourhood cats, a bit of a feline thug really. Well they finally managed to trap and fix him and put him in retirement under the care of Mrs. H. This "untameable" tom was the sweetest creature you could imagine, and would immediately park himself on my lap whenever I went round.

@@NoirRaven Yeah I heard her say he was on the street but to be honest there is no way to know how long the cat was on the street as a stray. I have fostered countless feral cats and that cat was very friendly and adjusted to living indoors in a house. even if the cat was at the shelter for a long time that cat adjusted to being in a house immediately....which is extremely out of the ordinary for a feral cat who lived on the street for 16 years..I suspect the cat had an owner at one point in his life and then, unfortunately, ended up on the street.

We adopted a senior cat with some health issues too. He was about 9 but he looked older because he'd been a stray with bad teeth, stomach issues, and had apparently been hit by a car at some point and his back legs healed wrong so he couldn't jump very well or run very fast. We had to take him home with us though, he bonded with my husband immediately when we were at the shelter and he was the sweetest, most laid back cat I've ever met. He was also gigantic lol not fat, but he looked like a short-haired Maine Coon because he was so big. He passed away after about four years with us as well, that was almost six years ago and we still talk about him and miss him.

Thanks for taking him in and giving him such a beautiful life for his final years

[@calimero600]

He spent the best years of his life together with you! What a gift for him and also for you. Sweet idea to plant a tree for him! I hope you will adopt another senior cat, it looks like the perfect place for them!

[@pattibrooks1907]

[@janetdear6429]

[@theunclejezusshow8260]

Unique looking face too.💜😻👍

[@barrygomberg2524]

He had the cutest cheeks and beautiful green eyes. 😙😙😙

[@lauratodd7707]

You know people really love their cats when they give them bowties. What a great life for Heiko! He deserved these special people, and they deserved him.

[@BlackGrapes]

Cats are so adorable in accessories. But it's important that it is safe. There are, unfortunately, many accessories out there that can risk their lives when worn..

[@christiandiemond9595]

The last four years were probably the best of his life.

[@Jennylouise87]

He was so precious. I'm so happy this beautiful boy lived his golden years with this beautiful couple. RIP.

[@traceypotter7669]

I'm so sorry, I lost my Jeffie cat 6 years ago now, and I still feel the pain. But I know, and I hope you do too, that the life we gave them, the love, care and affection meant the world to them.

[@AngelaSmith_1970]

Aww 🥰 he may have been ill and his teeth infected, but he didn’t lose the will to live, I’m so grateful to you for giving him a true home 🤗🥰🥹

Since this is obviously a German pet story: Großartig, dass es doch noch Menschen gibt, die so etwas tun, macht mir wieder ein klein wenig Hoffnung, dass die Menschheit noch eine Chance hat !!!

[@LowsonIntl]

Heartwarming and heartbreaking.💔This woman gave Heiko the best years of his life and he left this earth knowing how much he was loved. His spirit will live on in the hearts of his saviors. He is in the arms of the angels.👼Spirit never dies. 💕

[@MsLynn251]

Such a sweet couple to adopt this older cat and give him a loving home. This is a wonderful story and I'm so happy that they were able to enjoy each other for those 4 years. God bless to all in the video. What a wonderful way to honor Heiko's memory to put his ashes in the garden he loved and plant a tree for him.

[@dianemoonstone4715]

😿😻👍💕

[@melodieperkins7080]

Oh what kindness and love you have shown him.

[@pokerpariah]

It's always the family who suffers the most when a loved one passes. Even though they are sad they should never forget the love and happy home they provided to Heiko when no one else would. RIP sweet kitty.

[@faithford9143]

Thank you guys for your love for the cat.

[@jchapman4842]

All the GeoBeats stories are heart warming to me. Heiko's story brought tears to my eyes. Over the years, I've had two Ginger cats in my life (Bubba in 1980s and Porter 2010s) whom I loved dearly. Five years ago, we had to put Porter down so we know the void left when your beloved pet/companion is gone. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story. It reminded me of my two wonderful companions.

[@OneHitWonder383]

Thank you for giving Heiko a loving home at the end of his life.

[@peepalfarm]

So kind-heart woman, shed adopted him because no one will adopt him. She is a true animal lover....

[@LegionOfDefiance]

Sorry,, but no. A true animal lover is vegan and refuses to pay for any animals to suffer.

[@noodles169]

He's certainly a wise old cat. We could all learn something from him, and what a wonderful soul this lady is... One of nature's true warriors ❤️

[@juliadesl]

What a wonderful loving life you gave him. He was special and you made him feel special for 4 years. RIP Heiko

[@philiptownsend4026]

I was so happy to see Heiko living a good life at last, so much character and personality. When you revealed he had died I burst into tears. You did a wonderful tribute to him. We have adopted aged cats over the years and agree you are right, such great companions with their experience and wisdom. I remember all our old friends so fondly, it is so fulfilling having the join our lives, even briefly.

[@Robinwhiteart]

Thank you for giving Heiko a wonderful final chapter to his life.

[@D_e_n_i_s_e_B]

I cried. Thank you, lady

[@carielswick8892]

So sorry for your loss. And many blessings to you and your husband for letting him know and feel what real love is. Thank you for sharing his story.

[@Rainbow-yh6ov]

The story came to me at the perfect time. Last week I had to make the choice to say goodbye to my beautiful loving companion who had just turned 19. I was waiting until he let me know it was time, and found a vet that came to the house to first give him a shot to relax him, and then the final shot. I can’t explain how much a part of me he was. My husband and son loved him too, but they both worked through the pandemic and I was home with Logan constantly. He always followed me from room to room and sat next to me or on me, but during those two years at the end he was like an extra appendage! It was the sweetest thing. I love the story and love that there are people who appreciate elderly cats and how much love they have to give 💗

[@lillyko5611]

I'm sorry for your loss. But you gave sweet Logan a wonderful life full of love. 🌈

[@Rainbow-yh6ov]

@@lillyko5611 Thank you! You are so kind to write that 💓

[@shadowblissfang2397]

Thank you for adopting and giving Heiko the best last 4 years of his life in a warm home filled with love and care. Rest in peace Heiko, your loved and missed. 😿💔

[@christinewells-leddon9287]

As the late (beloved) Queen of England once remarked: "Grief is the price we pay for love." There is no doubt that Heiko was loved deeply.

[@stackie10able]

Im glad he recieved the love he deserved. They are clearly wonderful loving people. I hope they adopt more senior animal's and give them the same familial love ❤

[@heidibee501]

We never know when someone will steal our hearts. That is what happened with Heiko. He was beautiful and so much fun. His memory lives on bringing joy to those who loved him.

[@juliaferraro2599]

How wonderful that Heiko got to spend his senior years in a loving home 😻 Lost my 19 year old cat a year ago (he was a stray that adopted us) we buried him in his favourite garden and I still tell him sweet dreams every night. Cats are such loving creatures to their selected humans. Love to you and your husband from Canada xo

[@sallymowafy5852]

Thank you for giving this wonderful senior cat a wonderful life in his last 4 years. May he RIP. ❤❤❤

[@edwardpate6128]

What a sweetie! So glad you gave him a loving home for those years at the end of his life. He was obviously very happy!
