His temperature went into the stratosphere and there was nothing anyone could do except release him. He was in the cook your brain cells zone and even a shot of steriods failed to make a difference. He will be cremated and spread on a ranch of over 80 acres. I can’t bury him here as our land is flooded.
I was with him in the end and he went quickly- the fever would have put him in seizure and then death so I opted for the peaceful end. He went quickly out of pain and off to a better place-
How hard to deal with Sullivan’s loss. Each one is precious. Purrs and pawtaps.
So, so sorry.
So sorry to hear about Sullivan. Purrs and Hugs. He knew love and warmth in your arms before God called him home.
So sorry. It’s so hard to mourn yet another furry friend, but Sullivan is in a better place.
So sad 🙁
I am so sorry…..the losses never get easier. But you were there for him…and that counts for so much!
I’m so sorry. He knew love that you freely gave and I know he took some with him. God Bless You!
It must be very disappointing to lose him when he appeared to improve for a bit. He tried his best but he couldn’t stay. He just wanted to show you that he appreciated what you were doing for him. So many in the Cat Blogosphere are passing right now…
So sorry to hear about Sullivan. His little spurt of energy was meant just for you to let you know how much he loved and appreciated all you did for him. You will be enfolded in so much love when it’s your time to cross the rainbow bridge. R.I.P. Sullivan, know that you were loved! Sleep with the angels dear boy!
I hope everyday that one of my feral cats doesn’t pass away. I caught the last of 5 kitten litter tonight. This guy has been finally letting me pet him and I somehow captured him (about 2 months old now). Tomorrow he will go to my friends who is housing his two sisters and brothers for the winter in hopes to socialize them. I feel I have ruined the trust we’ve created.. by catching them and taking them away from the only life theyve known.. but then i think that’s one more cat that has a chance to find a home someday. One more cat that I wont see hit by a car when I wake up tomorrow. I wish none of them would have to suffer. i pray the winter is kind to my feral kitties. Especially my feral mamma cat who is only a year old herself. And i pray your kitties stay healthy and happy and find there forever homes.
Don’t ever feel guilty for caring for those who others do not. You take them away from what they know, but what is that exactly? A place where food isn’t plentiful, predators abound, water is scarce and shelter is a dirty place under a home or a porch? Don’t ever feel guilty for that.
Because they are outside, they can bring with them a bundle of bacterial issues and they can leave like the wind. But at least before they go, they know they found a human who didn’t hurt, scare or terrorize them and gave them warmth, love and food.
