Last month, Hernandez celebrated Hadji’s 22nd birthday. The sweet cat exceeded the average life expectancy of her breed by several years. But sadly, it finally came time to say goodbye. This afternoon, Hernandez announced on social media that Hadji was humanely euthanized last week due to declining health.

“My old buddy. See you in another life,” Hernandez wrote on Twitter. “I know you’ll be waiting for me with open paws.”

“It was his time to go. No quality of life. He passed painlessly and with dignity,” he added. “Tough one. I don’t think I’ll ever get over it.”

Many people replied expressing their condolences. The official New York Mets account also reshared Hernandez’s post: “Rest in peace, Hadji,” the team wrote.
