I loved reading your heartwarming story - it is important for people to realize that when adopting a kittycat they do become attached to us so we should never take abandonning them lightly - they may not recover from this letdown, depending on their age, how long they end up in rescue or a shelter, etc. Luckily Solomon got to find his forever loving home.
Suggestion to his mom - try Sasha's Blend (all natural) - very good for muscles, arthritis etc. - he may be jumping as high as he was before! My Angel Beyli was on it for quite some time and it really helped him with aches and pains and exercise.
