We had to put our kitty Zeke to sleep tonight [View all]

We adopted him from a local shelter in 2013. They estimated him to be be 3-5 at that time. He had a stroke in February, rebounded for awhile but started declining over the past week or so.
He was just the sweetest cat ever. He loved everyone and everyone, even avowed cat haters, loved him. I will miss him every day for the rest of my life. Sweet sweet boy. I'm just bereft.
