One day, out of the blue, I lost my beloved son.

It is a fact that I still cannot accept, and time has not healed the wounds.

The grief of losing someone who is irreplaceable can only be understood by the person who lost him or her.

There is such a thing as pet loss. To the owner, the child was family. That is why there is a hole in the heart.

Another life I am currently involved with is that of a cat. I think cats are irreplaceable for the family.

All the cats at Hidamari are my children.

In the four and a half years since we opened, I have lost several cats' lives. It was quite harsh for me to lose my own son, and for the first year, I hung on to the cats and cried and cried for days. I never got used to it, but by building a grave next to the bus, I was able to quickly switch to face the life of my current child.

Hidamari is a shelter for milk-drinking kittens, so we are raising kittens that are prone to FIP.　Why do we do expensive FIP treatment when we have to raise so many kittens? It is because I do not want to lose my cats.

They are my children and I don't want to lose them any more than I would lose my son.

If there is no treatment, I have no choice but to give up.

When your precious child has a disease that requires expensive treatment, can you choose not to do it? Can you choose not to do it?　Can you overlook the fact that your child is suffering? You can't, can you? It is the same thing.

If it is one kitten a year, we can manage to treat it without your help. However, if you raise many kittens, 4.5 kittens a year will get FIP. The cost of treatment is about 1.2 to 2.5 million dollars.

The sales of the cat café also disappear due to the cost of food and toilet litter, since the number of seats is reduced due to coronavirus.

If each person donates 500 to 1,000 yen and 200 people cooperate, the support will amount to 100,000 to 200,000 yen. If we gather a lot of power, it will become a big power. Please support us for Hidamari-nyans!
