On March 6, 2011 my husband and I drove to Riverside California to adopt Spring and his sibling Summer. The adoption agency reported both were found abandoned under a Holiday Inn. They were assessed to be 3 - 4 months old. Spring Spring was a Grey/White/Black Long hair Domestic Cat with a great big fluffy tail and a striking little Brown Nose (that we just fell in love with).

Spring Spring was the more quiet and timid of the two. He was afraid of loud noises (so forget the vacuum) and anyone that wasn't family. We very rarely heard Spring meow unless we were off to a veterinarian visit (then all bets were off and he let loose).

Spring was more of a Daddy's baby. He loved to cuddle bug with Daddy in the early hours when daddy would come home from 2nd shift work. They had a ritual of him jumping up on a box to roll around for belly rubs, booty pats with loud purrs of appreciation that daddy called (GRUNTS).

Spring was a big eater. He was the bigger cat (weight wise) 12lbs in his prime. Spring liked a variety of dry and wet foods. But, towards the end he mostly just wanted a little crunchy and the Friskies Soups.

From June 2025 Spring began to lose a lot of weight and we knew the end was near. However, he managed to greet us and show love and affection until his last breath.

The life of a cat is so short. If I had one wish it would be for our fur babies to live longer.

Rest in peace our beautiful Spring Spring 🙏🏾.

Mama, Daddy and Summer will cherish you in our hearts forever ♥️.
