Buttons- Memorial Honoring her spirit

Sadly Buttons has passed away. The following is the post about Buttons on our facebook page , below that-was her original petfinder post. WE want to honor her on this page. She was loved. Please consider adopting (or donating towards )a senior/special needs kitty , your heart will thank you. <br/><br/><br/>Buttons:<br/>"Buttons 2020-12/28/2025<br/>Sometimes there are souls who arrive and go far too quickly, yet leave an indelible mark on our hearts, Buttons was one of those souls.<br/>Buttons’ story is one of hope, with a quiet ache of “what if only.”<br/>Buttons was found lingering around a property—seemingly abandoned and in poor condition.

Through special diet, medication, and the most powerful medicine of all—love—Buttons lived a full year in comfort, free from pain, and deeply cherished.<br/>As time passed, Buttons began to lose her sight. Still, she loved to rest on the sill of a picture window, the sun warming her body. We don’t know if she could see the flora and fauna outside, or if she was remembering the days when she chased butterflies. Perhaps it was her imagination she gazed through—the window becoming a place of memory and peace.<br/>Buttons enjoyed a loving Christmas with her mom, she looked stunning as you can see in the photo below, the one with the black background.<br/>On December 28, the light gently dimmed, and Buttons left her foster’s loving arms to become a star in the sky.<br/>Buttons lived her best life because someone cared enough to take her in. Her world was transformed by the gentle, compassionate, and kind devotion of her foster mom. Each time we love a kitty—especially one who was failed by others—our own lives are changed as well. They become our guardians. Their spirit of hope becomes part of us.<br/>Buttons was loved. 🌟<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Buttons is now on hospice care.<br/><br/>Buttons was found wandering around a neighborhood, thin, sad, but very friendly. A good Samaritan took her in and tried to find her owner. Unfortunately she wasn't microchipped and after posting flyers around the neighborhood she wasn't claimed. <br/><br/>We took in Buttons, had her vetted and placed her with a foster. Her foster is now providing hospice care to Buttons. Sadly, due to her advanced kidney disease our vet thinks she might have been poisoned. <br/><br/>Buttons is an affectionate cat. She'll need lifelong veterinary care, ie regular vet visits to monitor her kidneys. She's in the early stages of kidney disease. A worrisome reality for a kitty so young. <br/><br/>We are seeking only donations towards her veterinary diet. <br/><br/>Send an email to us at: thefaunafoundation@yahoo.com for information on donating towards her Rx food.
