    Please keep Minnow in your thoughts

    Hello all,

    I'd like to ask everyone to keep my sister's cat Minnow in their thoughts.
    Minnow has been rather unwell lately, she has lost weight and has been off her food. We took her to the vet yesterday, and the vet has found a large lump in her intestines. Minnow is having surgery tomorrow to find out what the problem is, it could be anything.
    Minnow is around 12 or so, we don't really know how old she is exactly because she was a rescue. She is the loudest purrer I've ever come across, and she loves being brushed more than anything else.
    I'll post tomorrow, hopefully with good news.

    So sorry to hear this and of course I'll say a little prayer for Minnow. PT prayers do help and positive thoughts are on the way.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Oh no...good luck!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    Prayers going out to little Minnow. What a sweet name! I used to call my RB Goldie "Minnow" as a term of endearment as she would squiggle just like a sleek little fishie.

    Terrible news. Minnow had surgery today, and the vet found cancer. The really bad part is that the cancer has spread throughout her intestines, and into her liver. The vet removed part of her intestine, but at this point there is little that can be done.
    I'm so sad right now, Minnow had a rough start in life, and I've always wanted to make things better for her. We haven't made any decisions yet about her, I want to see how she does, but I don't want her to suffer.
    This is the second cat we've had that got cancer. My cat Chelsea died from cancer as well, and he was only 6. I don't really know what to do now besides just waiting, and trying to make Minnie feel a bit better.
    The really amazing thing is that Minnow keeps right on going. She is like an old soldier, never complaining, never wondering why we keep taking her to the vet.

    I am so sorry to hear this. I will continue to pray that Minnow is pain free, and comfortable for the rest of her life. Hugs to you and your sister.

    Oh Minnow. Even with a rough start to life, you did find love and a family to call your own.

    I hope she is not in pain and that the surgery helped to allow her to stay with you for awhile longer.
