My friend and foster for the humane society was going to have her 19 year old cat, Charlie, put down this morning. He was vaccinated last week and the vaccines weakened him and he contracted upper respiratory. He has not been eating well and is very arthritic and she has thought of putting him down before, but with the upper respiratory she made the final decision yesterday. When my friend woke up this morning to take him to be PTS, Charlie was eating like a horse and running and he was not at all sniffly. She called the vet and he suggested giving him a few more days to see how things go.

She is going out of town tonight because her husband is donating bone marrow to his sister and they have to drive to Gainesville. She has 16 cats (14 of them are fosters) and I am watching them all. Please, please, please pray that Charlie can hang on until she gets back into town. She told me to use my judgement, to call her with updates and she will tell me if she thinks he can't make it until she comes back, but I really want her to come home to him, even if the very next day he needs to be PTS.

I really need your thoughts and prayers guys, this is a tough situtation. Charlie did not look good yesterday when I went to see him but I am hoping days like today continue.
