Rainbow Bridge 🌈 has what I call "New Baby Embassy" where I am convinced our babies are sending us babies who need us.... like, they see the babies in need down here and are like "I think my people are ready. Make it so!"

You aren't replacing. You are giving a rescue a chance to survive

[@carmelabiernacki107]

That's what I always say

[@annefischer1433]

And thrive!

[@laurendaryani4893]

Exactly! And I'll bet Lily would have loved to play with Matt. He's an addition to a loving family, not a replacement ❤

[@rachel705]

I heard a quote once that said “Grief is just love with no place left to go.” It’s not replacing, it’s giving all that love somewhere to go ❤

[@shareeclifton2265]

Lilly sent the kitty 100%

[@aresmarte9000]

I think so too😊

[@ashlouw5350]

When they started talking about Lilly i thought she came back in the cat❤. Because Matt started playing with all Lilly's toys and he came not too long after her death.

[@jennifergraceh]

@@ashlouw5350me too! I immediately thought she was Lily reincarnated 🥰 My beloved cat, Cairo, passed away 2.5yrs ago. My parents and daughter were looking to adopt a kitten at the animal shelter and, despite the multitude of adorable kittens, the cat they were drawn to was a 2 year old stray. She immediately bonded to them and was at ease in the house, even choosing the same sleeping spots as Cairo used to. Too many similarities to list, but the biggest thing for me was when I met her on FaceTime, I called her name and there was immediate recognition in her eyes, as she tried to place where my voice had come from. She ran to the screen super curiously and I was talking to her the way I did with Cairo and, I don’t know, it was just the weirdest feeling of familiarity. I’m a firm believer in reincarnation, but the evidence of it holding some weight is substantial-particularly the research about children who remember past lives (if interested, check out the work of Dr. Ian Stevenson, who is now deceased, and his predecessor, Dr. Jim B. Tucker , both of whom who work for the university of Virginia division of perceptual studies. Fascinating stuff; I’ve read every one of Dr. Tucker’s books multiple times.

[@JennaLeigh]

I literally just commented this elsewhere! Lily's the mastermind here❤❤

[@Gr8P]

Yep

[@CandyPIdaho]

Thank goodness Lily sent you! That baby needed help! As I read somewhere, it was the all-knowing Kitten Delivery System that brought you together! Lily knew what you needed because she knew you so well and you loved her. ❤😊

Many blessings to you both for saving that precious fur baby. 🙏🏼❤️🐾

[@lorihutton4719]

Lilly sent that kitten to watch over her father as her body was to tired. I fully believe in this crap. I lost my only son ( 1 son plus 4 daughters I have no human children living ) Sparky, was my only male dog. 20 year old Boston terrier that would do anything with me. Anything I tried, he tried. Be it food, sports, water activity, driving anything!!!!!!! Not long after Sparkys passing I saw a dog along the four lane just like him, appeared homeless but couldn't be caught or touched. I wasn't from there, so I returned home. End of last fall, tiny young black dog showed up in a field next to my momma's house. 1,2,3,4 days go by trying to earn her trust. No luck. I put out a live trap full of food. 5 minutes the door slammed, Afraid of the world she was caught and safe. Moving 7 months forward. She answers to Princess Zaela and we don't no her story but she so loves the tale I half made up, other half I took from the movie. Princess Caraboo, yes I tell her she is from Javasu, yes I tell her she was abducted by pirates. Then jumped ship to swim a shore, then be taken in by a wealthy lady whom lived in a castle 🏰 ( which I am not ) and dressed in the finest cloth and drank from the finest China. If Love is Wealth, this farm for rescues is my Bank!!!!!!! Thank you to Lily and Sparky for making sure one cat daddi and one dog mom-mom feels 💕 the love. We miss you kiddo- love all your siblings but mom-mom the MOST🩵

[@stuborn-complaining-german]

The cat chooses it's owner. You're very lucky! ❤️

Mochi, such a cute sweet tiny name :) nice ❤ thank you for giving Mochi a loving home. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH WELL ♥️♥️✝️

[@BooBuKittyPhuk]

My baby Tiggy was so small he wasn't even pooping or peeing by himself yet, but I heard crying, opened my back door, and he ran as fast as he could inside that he ran right into my foot. His nose was bloody and he was filthy so I immediately gave him a wash and had to give him milk that night until I could go get him kitten milk. He was my little Prince and think of him all the time. I miss him, but I'm so happy he ran himself, on his tiny wobbley little legs, into our lives.

We have a Mochi also, my son found him in the drive thru where he works he was so young his ears weren't even open yet. We had to nurse him with a little bottle and he grew up to be a lion. Lol

New pets can be very healing after loss, whether a pet, or human loss, as it gives the heart somewhere to put the love from the loss and helps heal the heart in my experience and what I’ve witnessed. A specific human or animal bond can’t be replaced, but new love and life can be very comforting. Love seeing this but strong guy and the tiny kitten. I’m a great believer in kismet, clearly this little kitty was in the right place at the right time….. ❤

Not my dog 💀. My old dog was my life, she was my everything and I was her favorite person. My step dad didn’t want another dog but we found one and brought her home. A year later she is my dog but loves everyone especially my stepdad more than me. Then the cat distribution center made its way and we took in a stray cat who loved me and only me just for her to love my sister more and was eh about me. 🥲

One thing I can tell you from owning pets all my life is that when you find a pet, even if it’s after losing one, it’s always meant to be, and you will be amazed when you realize just how much they fit into your life. Nobody can ever replace a pet that you lost, but a new pet needing a human as desperate as some do out there in the wild there’s no greater feeling in the world they’re yours and their loyalty will always run deep…

[@valleyofashes]

Well said 👏🏼 I got a mini dachshund for my 18th bday. My first love and bf had a house full of wiener dogs because his mom & sister bred them. Anyways, I had a couple cats at the time but a few years later, I bought her for $400 (half price) and she became like my child. I took her everywhere with me, and I planned so much of my life around my Lucy girl. Whenever the thought of losing her crept in my mind, I’d get so scared and emotional. Anyways, many years passed and she eventually passed away and I was in shock and then a deep depression hit me. I knew I had been so lucky to have been blessed to have her with me for 16 long years. Hell she almost reached the age I was when I got her. I never thought she’d love that long, so I was grateful to have had that, but I just felt so lonely after having a buddy by my side after all that time and then now, I’m not just without my long term bf but now I lost my bear friend who made it so I could get thru that breakup of that long term relationship. She had been with me through so much considering I’ve had her for almost half my life.

[@MomCat03]

Thx 4 sharing, I can feel your emotion, as we know it too!💕🐈@@valleyofashes

Some friends talked me into getting another sooner than I expected so I got another little doxie and she’s named Tana. She’s the same kind of dog as Lucy, but other than that, they have really nothing in common. I still miss her, but Tana’s helped me a lot. Because of her, I started to smile and laugh again. And she’s helping to change the whole vibe in the house 🏠🐶❤️

[@MomCat03]

We just lost our sons cat she was 19 years old, yours being 16 you understand the feeling of grief we are experiencing. it’s only been about a month or so maybe two and I still hurt every day and miss her. We lost several pets over the last three years all over the age of 13, and, the hole they leave in your soul is just indescribable. we have two cats left and needless to say are spoiled beyond belief. I said I would never get another pet again, but I really can’t see my life without a pet as they add so much joy and such unconditional love to each and every day. I’m so happy that you are smiling again, thx for sharing love!💕@@valleyofashes

Cats are awesome. Be there for them from beginning to end.

You didn’t take another animal into your house; you took them into your heart. That’s the way it works. Life.

Life, and there is no life without love. Love is how we are meant to be throughout life. Especially when life is tough.

How can you not love his face!? You didn't have a chance really , this little dude stole your heart from the very beginning and you didn't know it : )) I'm so glad you helped each other after losing Lilly...it's unbearable to lose a pet but so rewarding to open your heart and save a new animal from the streets...good for you! Have a wonderful life together!
