We are heartbroken to share that Sunkist, one of our beloved community cats, passed away two weeks ago after being run over in the parking lot of the area she called home.
Sunkist was a true fixture in the neighborhood. With her famously chubby build and bright orange spirit, she would often greet community residents as they passed by. People would often ask if she was pregnant, but she wasn’t—she was just wonderfully chonky!
She first appeared in the area 3 years ago, newly spayed and already a chonk. Though she was trusting of people and initially unfamiliar with street life, she quickly learned that this community offered a consistent supply of meals and people who welcomed her with open arms.
Sadly, the world failed her. To the person responsible: know that you took the life of a living being, and you must have felt her when your car's tires went over her. Please slow down and watch out for our community animals.
Sunkist, we love you and we miss you so much! 🧡🐾
