Lost my 19.5 year old... possibly adopting a 3 year old
Hello all. You may remember I posted about a month ago about my 19.5
year old kitty. He was doing reasaly well, but then in late Oct - Early November, he declined rapidly. He lost more weight, legs were giving out, urinating all over. I finally got the courage to call the vet and have him euthanized on November 14. I must say, however, that it was a low stress and peaceful parting. I knew it was his time, as did he. The night before I held him and cried. That morning I gave him some milk, and then brought him in. He was very calm in the waiting room. The vet had prepared the exam table with a comfy fleece blanket. He explained the process, then gave my Kitty an anaesthetic. He layed down on the table, very calmly, then the final shot was given. No flinching, it was truely like he went to sleep. That day and the next were rough. But I very soon felt ready for a new adoptee. My other kitty is 12, and is very friendly, and misses her brother. I located a 3 year old kity on Petfinder, who is being fostered now. According to the foster mom, he is very friendly and gets along well in her house full of cats. We plan to meet him on Sat, and if all goes well, we can bring him home. We have already been pre-approved. I am excited and scared all at once! Beth |
