Bolt, former Huddersfield station cat, passes away

[sftfan1909]

Announced on the Huddersfield Station Cats Facebook page today here..

Today is one of the posts we never wanted to write.

Our beloved former station cat Bolt has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

After retiring from Huddersfield Station, Bolt spent his days being thoroughly spoiled by Jacqui and sharing his home with his feline companions. He truly was living his best life.
Sadly, Bolt passed away this week after a road traffic accident. The small comfort in this heartbreaking situation is that his vet believes his passing would have been instant.

Jacqui is utterly devastated, and our thoughts are with her as she comes to terms with losing such a special companion.

Bolt may have left the station many moons ago, but he never left the hearts of the people who knew and loved him. We know that many of our followers will be saddened by this news and will want to join us in celebrating the life of a very special cat.

Thank you, Bolt, for all the memories.

Please keep your comments kind as Jacqui is grieving the loss of a much-loved member of her family.

Losing your furbabies to natural causes/old age is painful enough (I've experienced it, twice within 12 months in fact), but losing them to something as sudden as a road traffic accident is so much worse and so much harder to get to grips with. Sending my deepest condolences to Jacqui.

Indeed, deepest condolences Jacqui, losing your furry companion is devastating, God bless you and Bolt.
