Introducing Nobi

[emily_the_spoiled]

Hello everyone, I would like to introduce you to little Nobi (Korean for butterfly). A rescue group I work with in Virginia contacted me to see if I would foster him because of some help issues. At the time, when ever he walked a few steps his back end would flop to the ground (and he was incontinent). But I took him home anyways. He was in my house a week before he lost the use of his back legs. I took him for a MRI yesterday and they also did a spinal tap. It turns out that he has a FIP infection in his spinal cord and it has likely spread to his brain. There is no cure for him, but he is not in pain so I took him home for however long he will be with me. Unfortunately it is likely that he won't be with me for that long but in the meantime he is being spoiled rotten. Right now he is sitting curled up in my lap as I am working.

I'm so sorry. The good part is that you are loving him and taking care of him during his final hours/days. I'm glad he will be spoiled rotten. He will know your kind hand and good heart. Good for you... Kay

Thanks for "fospicing" this special baby. FIP is such a cruel disease.:love:

[Karen]

Aww, do we get to see a picture? Bless you for being his human for these last few weeks or days, however long it is, w know he is feeling loved, and that is what counts most!

[emily_the_spoiled]

Thank you everyone. When I took him in, I had no idea that he had FIP. I went through this when Conner passed so I know what the disease is like. I figure as long as his is content and not feeling any pain, then he will stay with us for awhile.


I have photos of him, but I haven't been able to figure out how to upload them.

You are an amazing person to let him live out the rest of his days with love and care.
I wish I could take in special needs pets, but working away from home (with almost an hour commute each way) it just isn't possible.
One of these days......................

Thank you for caring for Nobi.

[mbsmum]

Thank you. When it is time for RB, Nobi will remember only love and being spoilt rotten.

[Felicia's Mom]

Bless you for caring for him during his final days.

The medication the vet gave me has helped him somewhat. He is able to stand on his own for short periods of time and can even take a couple of steps. I know this is a short term improvement and he likely will not live to be a full year old (he is only about 7 months right now). But at least he is still eating and nloving attention.

Thank you so very much for caring enough to help make this little one's days comfortable and filled with love. I agree with Gary and look forward to seeing Nobi as our Cat of the Day.

Nobi's time came last night. Yesterday it was bright and sunny here and he spent the day watching out the patio window. As usual, he complained when I gave him his bath but we cuddled afterwards and he was okay. I did ask him last night if it was time for him to go and this morning when I came into the room he had left me.

Oh, he went so sweetly from home, where he was so much loved and cherished.

Love to Nobi at the Rainbow Bridge and to you and all the kitties, Cheryl.

Sending love to you and a heartfelt thank you for loving Nobi. He went the way he wanted - in peace, at home. :love:

[cassiesmom]

I am sure Gini met little Nobi at the Bridge and he has met all the PT kitties :love: Bless you for caring for him! Nobi, much loved :love:

[Karen]

Soft as a wee grey cloud,
Nobi now floats
As an angel in heaven
Rumbles of thunder -
They are his purrs magnified
And a blessing on you
Love given is never wasted,
And peace has come to him at last.

I will move this into Cat Memorial for you.

[mrspunkysmom]

So sorry to here this. He was loved at least for a little while. :love:

[mbsmum]

RIP dear Nobi.

[emily_the_spoiled]

Thank you everyone. Even though I knew I would only have him for a short time, it still didn't feel long enough

[Taz_Zoee]

What an adorable little face. Even though he was with you for such a short time, he at least got to know how it felt to be loved and cared for.

RIP Nobi

[smokey the elder]

Nobi was only with you a short time but knew love. Purr softly, precious baby.:love:

[bowlkat]

We hope Nobi is running and playing, 100% whole and free of discomfort, at RB. And THANK YOU and God bless you for making his last days so full of love and affection and caring.

We are so sad that Nobi has passed on, but at least Nobi went as a Beloved Cat Companion with good people who love him, and now has his wings of Silver and Gold and will have so many Angel Companions of so many species and will be an Eternal Baby Awesome Angels for all time.
We are taking Nobi to the King's Buffet Today where he will get the first plate and a guided tour of where to fly and eat.
Nobi will be there to thank you for your love in a Great Place in Paradise.
One Fine Day:love:

Thank you everyone,I appreciate your thoughts. I have lost both Nobi and Harry in the past three months, so it has been tough
