We lost one of our favorite cats, Karl 💔 His family had to make the incredibly hard decision to let him go after his illness.

We got to care for him as pet sitters in Germany, and he quickly became one of our favourites because Karl was calm, gentle, and quietly quirky. And somehow, completely obsessed with white sneakers. We’ve never seen anything like it.

Yesterday, we buried him at my parents’ place, in a wide open meadow- the kind of space he would have loved to roam in.

His owners shared something that stayed with us: that he brought a sense of calm into their lives like no other, and that letting him go was the hardest act of love they’ve ever made. We couldn’t see him struggle while he slowly stopped eating😭

We’ll miss you, buddy. Hope you’re at peace somewhere big and open.

So long, kicks Karl 🐾
