Beautiful boy, Bosco

A coffee cup, a kind cat, a cause worth showing up for.

Bosco was found on Palm Sunday, outside a church — malnourished, mouth aching with disease, body worn from years on the street. And yet, every time a human came near, he greeted them. Tail up. Eyes open. Ready to love.

He tested positive for FIP, a disease as cruel as it is common in strays. But the volunteers of Mina's Dream Space, led by Ann Tero, loved him fiercely through every difficult day — vet visits, medications, and all the quiet moments of just sitting beside a sick animal so they know they're not alone.

Bosco crossed the rainbow bridge on April 6. He was loved. He knew it.

On April 11, Commune in Mandaluyong will host a pay-what-you-can coffee cupping session in his memory — a quiet, unhurried gathering where strangers become friends over a shared table, and every cup poured is a small act of grace. Proceeds go toward Bosco's vet bills and the rescues still in Mina's Dream Space's care, including Peanut — a tiny orange girl found at a construction site, who survived a three-hour surgery and is still healing.

You don't have to bring much. Just yourself, and whatever you're able to give.

Brave beautiful Bosco
