Tariqna, the senior black cat with green eyes had to be given up. Her previous human needed nursing care.
Her name is a derivative of Arabic “Tariq,” referring to the star that rises in the dark to bring light & good news.
For a while, her destiny was uncertain.
Rehoming any animal is a challenge, not to mention age & colour were not in Tariqna’s favour.
Then someone showed up for Tariqna. For her safety, they had to make monetary & aesthetic sacrifices. They engaged a professional to install window meshes for every window in their flat.
This Good Friday weekend, Tariqna will be going home on a trial adoption with her new human. And her previous human will have peace of mind knowing that their beloved cat’s life continues with another family.
At times what we see as a loss is a sacrifice in disguise. And in accepting that sacrifice, we make room for gains not yet realised. 🙏🪔
May we like Tariqna rise like a star in times of darkness & uncertainties to bring comfort to all sentient beings.
