One of my vet’s clients recently lost her beloved cat. When she spoke with the vet about what to do with all the medicines and other items she had gathered for her kitty, my vet suggested she contact me. This morning, she brought a lot of supplies over. I could tell she was mourning greatly and she sped away quickly as if she still couldn’t talk about it.
As I unpacked the boxes, I was touched by the depth of her love for this boy. He was lucky he had her in his corner, for this type of caring when it comes to cats is rare. You could just chart his illness from beginning to end- the toys, the pills to stop the nausea, increase the flow of fluids to the kidneys, the fluids, the feeding tubes, special food with high fiber which will be wonderful for Pigeon. I am grateful for these offerings- I know in the future they will come into play and will help a cat coming into our care.
So very thoughtful of her!
It’s sad to think that all of the care ultimately wasn’t enough – but then who knows how much comfort and ease it brought before the end. Clearly, this woman wanted to do all she could for her loved one.
When I donated Chuck’s leftover pills to the Humane Society, it was surprisingly difficult, so I understand. It was hard to be thanked, because my kitty couldn’t use them anymore. A very weird circumstance, but I’m glad that I helped other cats, and you’ll use those meds!
