LES here. I don't know how I missed this whole thread, but I am just seeing it tonight. What an ordeal Alex has been through, but how fortunate for sweet Alex to know love and compainionship in his final days. You are such a kind person to have done all that you have for him.
Godspeed to the RB little Alex. Once there, may you be whole again, and run and play and have no pain. May you see once again.
RIP little one, RIP.
Poor little Alex will be able to run and play at the bridge, just like when he was a kitten. :)
You already know this....but you are doing (or did) the right thing. And I'm sure Alex thanks you for loving him so much these last days.
Thank you for giving him love in his last days. Thank you for doing the right thing for him when it was time.
RIP Alex. Play hard at the bridge.
Today was just so hard. I came home from work as soon as I could. I wrapped Alex up and sat outside with him because it was so sunny and warm. We rocked on the porch swing, and he just closed his eyes and relaxed. He seemed so at peace and happy like that. I held him there for 2hrs. I came inside once it got cool and we rested on the sofa together. Even driving to the vet was peaceful.
Once we got there it was a little more tense. I think he could smell that we were someplace that wasn't a good thing. I was sitting there crying off and on. Our appt. was for 7pm, but the vet was running late, and we didn't get in to a room until almost 8pm. He was having small seizures (I thought he had been but wasn't certain), and he got really upset when the vet injected the first medicine. I was so upset seeing him upset. I was kneeling down, blowing in his face, and telling him I loved him. He just looked so scared. I felt like I was betraying him. Letting go of him and he was alone. My heart is breaking. I hope he forgives me for letting him go and giving up. I just couldn't handle seeing him in pain and suffering. If I could have held him forever, until he was ready to go, I would have.
I'm so sorry Alex. I love you. I hope you are feeling better now, and are playing with the other kitties from the shelter who crossed before you. I miss you terribly. I will be with you again my brave boy. I love you sweetie. Play hard at the bridge honey till I see you again.
LES ... I'm so, so, sorry!!! :(
LES here at work. I'm so very sorry. I know the feeling of guilt, too. It must be a normal emotion that we suffer. It is so very hard even though you know you're doing the right thing. Alex knew you loved him so much. That two hours in the sun was such a gift to him. And now, he can see all the other animals and the beautiful green grass at the RB. We all will meet up again, you know?
:(
BLESS you, Jen ~
For having the strength and courage to show Alex the true Love you had for him.
He'll always remember you were there with him as he Crossed over the Bridge.

Thank you for releasing Alex to the Bridge. No more pain, no more feeling lost. Thank you for showing him the LOVE that he so richly deserved. If he had to leave at least he knew he was LOVED. Hugs for you, I know how hard it is.

Jenn...{{{{hugs}}}}
I am sorry he got upset...that makes it feel so much worse...but you know he was starting to hurt, and now no more pain. Peace for Alex.
I wish I could reach through the computer and hug you!
Jenn,I'm sorry to hear about Alex's passing.:( I know it was a very hard thing to do but you did the right thing. You gave him love and a nice home before his journey to the bridge and now he's running and playing and free from pain. RIP sweet Alex.:( Please take care Jenn. (((HUGS)))
RIP sweet Alex.
You did the right thing Jenn, he will appreciate your thoughtfulness. He is no longer in pain.

This is always such a difficult time and making this decision is never an easy one. You truly gave him a wonderful life and helped him when he needed you most. That is waht counts. RIP Alex.
I thought it was heartwrenching to read your earlier post but this one is even more difficult to read. I can only imagine how you must have felt during this entire ordeal. But you did NOT give up. You stayed the course. It was absolutely the best thing for Alex. That cat was miserable. Yes, he had his peaceful moments, thanx to you but you couldn't be w/him 24/7. I know you would've liked to have been but you couldn't. Now he can see and hear and play and he's seizure free, pain free and loving his life as one of God's creatures should and was meant to. You not only didn't give up. You gave him a good and better life, this side of the veil and beyond. The candles are still burning for you both.
Jen
Alex was blessed to be loved by you. As sad as your heart is, please know that you did the right thing and Alex is happy and playing with all our babies there at Rainbow Bridge. You will be reunited with one day.
Poor Alex. He'll be at the Rainbow Bridge, knowing he was much loved.
This is heartbreaking. I know you did the right thing, but it's still heartbreaking.
Alex has experienced some love in the end, and this is what he carries with him on his trip to the Bridge...
R.I.P. Alex

The Pet Angels Have Given Alex His Wings And Have Told Him What You Have Done For Him.

Hes Going To His First Luau Tonight On Molokai.
And Hes Your Cat Angel Now Jenn, And You Will Go To A Luau Together When You Meet Again.
One Fine Day.
I'm so sorry to hear that Alex has gone to the bridge, but you know what, he found an angel in your, a person who was willing to take care of him, and give him love that he obviously had never had before. He'll never forget you, and you'll never forget him, and I'm sure now he's got his sight back while he's up in heaven he's finally happy to see the face of the person who loved him, even if it was only for a little while.
God Speed, little Alex xxxxxxxxxx
Jenn, I am so sorry about Alex. I missed this whole thread, but I have now read every word and have lived this horrible situation with you.
Thank you for sharing the sunshine with Alex. That warmed my heart.
You are in my thoughts.
