This pin is a heartfelt tribute to Poe, who crossed the rainbow bridge in April 2023. Found as a tiny kitten with mobility challenges, Poe was likely born paralyzed due to nerve damage. He wore protective pants to prevent abrasions from scooting around, and his red and grey checkered pair are particularly special, as they were the last ones he ever wore.
Poe was the ultimate mama’s boy and was totally devoted to Fay, who adored and spoiled him. Despite not being her first special needs kitty, Poe’s unique needs taught her so much about caring for cats born with paralysis. Surprisingly, she found that caring for Poe was easier than expected, and their bond only grew stronger over time.
Poe’s life is a reminder that special needs pets can lead happy, fulfilling lives, challenging the misconception—common even among some vets—that animals with disabilities can’t thrive. This pin celebrates Poe’s legacy and the love he shared with his family.
