Nala
In Memory of Nala (originally known as Lillian)
Adopted. Cherished. Forever Loved.
Nala was an older cat who had been overlooked in the Hopewell Humane Society because of her shyness, anxiety, and older age. Her name was Lillian back then—but on February 3, 2020, I adopted her, gave her a new name, and a new beginning. From that day on, we chose each other.
She was quiet, gentle, and full of love once she felt safe. Nala became my constant source of comfort, my little shadow, and one of the most important parts of my life. She didn’t just share my home—she shared my heart. Letting her go was the most painful thing I’ve ever done, but I made sure she left this world knowing she was safe, held, and deeply loved.
I miss her every single day, but her love is still with me. Always. Thank you, Nala, for choosing me. I’ll carry you forever.
