I read most of this thread and I am so, so sorry to read this terrible news.
Know in your heart that you did everything possible that anyone could have to help your precious Anika. My heart goes out to you.

We will all be there with you and Anika during this painful time.

Go peacefully dear Anika and let your meowmie know that despite everything that she has done for you, that you just could not fight anymore. You are ready to go on to the RB, where you will wait for her, one fine day.

Oh, Melissa, I am so very sorry.

Rest in peace, sweet Anika. Your meowmie loves you very, very much.

Pat,with LES

I am so sorry that all the medical care and PT prayers and well wishes couldn't save Anika. She is at peace now, and may you also find peace knowing that she will be playing and healthy once again at The Bridge.
RIP little Anika.

I was with Anika today as well as my husband and my mom.

We got to spend about an hour with her before the whole thing took place and it was very hard, she was yellow from the jaundice but now she is sleeping peacefully and playing somewhere. I would of done the ultrasound but from what the vet said she needed intensive care right away and that meant tubes in her nose and an iv. The vet said she could keep her alive and I didn't want her to suffer. She was very peaceful for me it was so hard and I'm going to miss her so much. Sometime I will post something in the cat memorial section but for now I can't.

I will use the donations I've received towards vet bills and if anyone would like theirs back please feel free to PM me I understand.

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, Melissa

My husband would like to write something as well:

This is Rob, Melissa's husband. I just wanted to say a heartfelt thanks to all of you who have helped my wife and I through all of this. I know that many of you know the heartache we are feeling right now, and I want you all to know how appreciative we are for all of your help. We did for Anika the last kindness we could, and though our time together was too short, I know I will never be able to look at another cat without thinking of my baby girl and those beautiful, piercing green eyes. Thank all of you for all you have done.

So sorry to read this about Anika. May she be a peace without pain playing hard at the RB Bridge.

I just read this now and I am trying my very best not to bawl here at work. Your Annie looks so much like my Deirdre.

We had a cat once with what your Annie had. You absolutely did the right thing. We tried like heck to save our Tiger when he was jaundiced and sick with Pancreatitis and the vets all kept telling us back then that cats don't get pancreatitis. We even stupidly went so far as to put in a tummy tube trying to save our 8 year old boy. He died of a heart attack in our arms from all the stress his poor body was put through.

Know for sure in your heart that you did the most loving thing you could have ever possibly done for your girl and she I am sure is playing and free from pain but missing you too.

Thank you, it seems to be getting a little easier up until I go home and she's not there.

She was the loud mouth of the house. Anika would tell Sebastian (my big grey fuzzy guy) off a lot because he would run after Claudia (she was her baby pretty much even though Annie didn't give birth to her) and Ashley (even though she hissed a few times at Ashely she would still defend her from Sebastian).

It's just so quite at home without her there, I'm glad she's not suffering but it's just so weird not having her around, I keep seeing Athena (my other tiger cat I rescued from bellefonte earlier this year) and I have to do a double take thinking it's Anika, last night I had to catch myself because I could of sworn I saw Anika sitting next to the bathroom door and I was going to say come here Annie and then I realized that it was Athena sitting there.

I wrote a thing in the Cat Memorial section about how Anika adopted me and our life up until the end. You might want to read that another time because it gave me tears writing it last night but I needed to do it.

Thank you again,
Melissa
