When we understand that our end is near, we desire to do what is most valuable to us or to see someone we love. We each have different values, and so our final wishes vary. For some, it may be to see a beautiful sunset one last time. For others, it might be to visit a place they’ve always wanted to see. And for some, it may be as simple as spending time with a loved one.
For one older woman, her dying wish was to see her best friend, her cat Oliver, one last time to say goodbye.
The woman was in the hospital, and the medical staff could not help but fulfill her wish because everyone was very touched. They even took a photo of the moment and posted it on social media, where it quickly went viral.
“When you are in adoption agencies, remember that older cats may have been left behind because their owner died, and they will be very loving companions,” the hospital wrote in the photo’s caption.
Her cat Oliver had been by her side through thick and thin, and she didn’t want to leave him behind. The older woman had no other family members to take care of him, so the animal shelter made sure that her final wish was granted. This reunion photo has gone viral on social media, with people all over commenting on how touching it is. If you’re considering adopting an older cat, remember that they can be just as loving companions as younger cats!
This photo gathered a lot of comments on social networks. Such as:
“So beautiful. Animals have such a special place in our hearts.”
“What a beautiful story. Rest in peace, Oliver’s owner.”
“This is so touching. I’m glad the animal shelter was able to make her wish come true.”
