The pet I'll never forget: I lost my mum, career, livelihood and hope but Bertie the cat was determined to fix me
Briefly

Bertie was found under the floorboards in 2005, needing care for his cleft palate and infections. His initial friends selflessly gave him to a charity, demonstrating extraordinary compassion.
During difficult times, Bertie provided comfort to those around him, including the neighbor Pat during her chemotherapy. His empathetic nature seemed to stem from his own troubled beginnings.
After losing my mum, Bertie's loyalty and companionship became my only solace, as he remained by her side until her last moments, offering a bond that transcended grief.
The connections formed through love and care during tough times with Bertie, my mom, and our neighbors illustrate the profound impact of shared experiences and companionship.
