Oh Jan, I just finished reading all about your precious Willy. You were determined to rescue this poor boy and you did. (Which doesn't surpirise me in the least.)
How devoted you were to this sweet boy. He had the best 14 years of his life with you, as it is obvious he had to struggle the first few years. I think he survived as long as he did as he knew that someone like you would finally come and rescue him and thank God that you did.
He couldn't have landed up in a better home. You gave him 14 years of love and the best care that any cat could have gotten and in return, Willy gave you his unconditional love and devotion. He was such a handsome boy.
Try not to be so sad because he is gone, SMILE, because you were lucky to have him in your life. Remember the sweet memories you have of your beloved Willy.
He was dearly loved and will never be forgotten.

R.I.P. dear Willy
