Losing a pet is an emotional experience, as these beloved creatures are considered family members and their absence deeply affects everyone. Morgan, a young autistic boy, was heartbroken after losing his favorite kitty.
Morgan’s mother, Cynthia Roseberry, shared that when Tabby first came home, she was hesitant and took some time to adjust to her new surroundings. However, as time went on, Tabby became calmer and started seeking Morgan’s attention.
Right from the beginning, Morgan referred to Tabby as his “daughter.” Their bond was incredibly important to Morgan, who has autism. For ten years, they were inseparable. However, in September of last year, Tabby passed away at the age of 16 due to old age, leaving Morgan devastated.
“I was devastated for a long time,” Morgan’s mother said. “He had a funeral that the entire family attended.”
Morgan grieved the loss of his closest friend and needed time to process his feelings. Sensing his readiness, Morgan’s family decided to surprise him with a new pet at his birthday party, knowing he wanted another cat just before turning 18.
Initially perplexed by the cat toys he found in one of his gifts, Morgan soon realized what was happening. Overwhelmed with joy, he couldn’t contain his tears when he opened the carrier and carefully took out the new cat.
Although he still missed Tabby dearly, Morgan was overjoyed to welcome a new pet into his life. He named his new rescue cat Vitani, after a character in “The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride.”
Everyone at Morgan’s celebration was deeply moved by his loss and thrilled to support him in moving forward and starting a new chapter of his life with Vitani.
Morgan and Vitani have already formed an incredible friendship. Morgan is delighted to have another kitten to care for and share his affection with, even though he will always cherish the memories of Tabby.
