u/Coppertina

This is Milano, a 6-year-old boy I've had the honor of spending time with while volunteering at my local animal shelter. He's super-chill and the sweetest love bug. 🩵

First two pics I took just now. They’re resting after wolfing down birthday churus. Last two pics show them doing something they haven’t done in YEARS: cuddling. Unfortunately, they don’t get along that well as Paco (void) bullies Bella (Lynx). Fortunately, we make it work, with three new cat beds for the two of them.

Paco has small cell lymphoma, but has been doing very well on oral chemo since his diagnosis about 18 months ago. Bella has arthritis, but is otherwise doing great.

I love them both so much and hope they reach the advanced ages as so many wonderful cats I see in this sub! I realize that is quite unlikely for Paco, but hey, a girl can dream.
