Mama was found in a bush nurturing and protecting her five baby boys. While most went on to find other homes, her one-eyed baby, Bean, stayed with her and remained her cuddle buddy for the almost eleven years she spent with her human family. Mama’s maternal instincts never went away; she dutifully trekked her stuffed animals all over the house to bring as gifts and could always sense when you were in need of some love and soft purrs. She embodied sweetness, patience, and strength. There will never be another like her—she will live on in the hearts of those who knew her forever.
