The grooming goddess took to Instagram to announce that he lost his beloved pet after he fell out the window while Van Ness was sleeping.
“At some point last night while I slept by baby Bug fell from an open window and passed away,” he wrote. “I’m hurting so bad today I can’t put it into words, for anyone else experiencing grief & loss, I’m with you.”
Van Ness wrote he was sharing his grief to let the people in his life know why he would not be his “typical happy self” in the coming days.
“Not sure how I’m going to make this loss mean something more but in the meantime, please make a donation to an animal shelter near you,” he wrote.
Van Ness adopted the cat last September as a means of helping mend his broken heart after the death of his beloved 13-year-old cat Bug.
“Loving you is the best thing that ever happened to me. Rest In Peace my beautiful baby, the world will never look quite the same to me without you in it,” Van Ness wrote when Bug died in August 2018, along with a photo of himself hugging the cat.
The hairstylist adopted a second kitten, Liza, when he brought home Bug the 2nd from the KC Pet Project, writing that the pets had brought him happiness through his grief.
“Losing Bug has been one of the saddest experiences of my life,” he wrote on Instagram. “Getting two gorgeous kittens in that full grown cat shaped hole in my heart is helping my reparative process immensely. Have a gorgeous weekend & adopt some babiez if you’ve been thinking about it love, Liza & Bug the 2nd.”
