Saying Goodbye with Dignity

Sully, the semi-feral cat with the monster electrical burn in his mouth is now free of pain. He stopped eating a few days ago, the drool increased from his mouth and nothing we have done for him has worked in his favor. I couldn’t even imagine the pain he was under with such a massive burn. My vet wanted to keep trying, but Sully has taken to recently pulling huge tufts of hair from his paws and his back which is a clear indication he is in pain and I didn’t feel right about asking him to continue living like that. I took him to animal control this morning where they put him down with dignity.

I’m sorry Sully. I have no idea how a feral cat could have experienced such a burn in their mouth and I really wish we could have healed you and sent you off to a barn to live your life out. At least now, you can eat your share of Heaven’s bountiful mice and have no pain at all.

  1. I’m so sorry that Sully couldn’t get past this horrible wound, but at least he is no longer in pain, and it must have been bad for him. 🙁

  2. How he must have suffered, and would have continued suffering if not for you. He would have starved to death, probably, unable to stand eating. Where he is now, there are no feral cats; every animal is in his forever home, and is loved.

  3. Poor little guy. it is so hard to let them go, you did right by him. you gave him a chance to get better, you gave him love and comfort. He is in a much better place free of pain, free to run and be happy! sad and happy tears at the same time.
