Mary, I will be glad to help with expenses for him or for unforeseen needs for Pidge.

I wonder if the "owner" should get him back. What were they doing letting an intact male roam around outside? Perhaps he was let out mistakenly by a visitor?

Pat

Oh Pat, thank you, that's very generous of you. However, I just posted about him and how smoothly things are going. My ex-husband told me he dropped a check for $500 in the mail for Buddy. Excellent! And since I'm having work done on my house, I haven't been cooking because of all the mess and the workers are here late, so I stopped by to get some take out chicken and when I went to pay at the window and the price was $1.00 less than last time and I asked why and she said "I recognized your voice and you always order the same thing so I thought I'd give you a discount". Pretty cool, huh? Talk about the Law of Abundance! Life is looking pretty sweet! I'm gonna have an orange set of bookends. LOL

What a handsome orange guy and he looks so sweet. I'm glad it's all working out.

Oh Mary, I am so glad to hear that! Buddy obviously is a very sweet cat in need of a loving home. I would have fallen for him, too........

Lucky Buddy! Lucky you!!

Just got a call. Buddy has feline leukemia. They ran the tests, then put him under anesthesia to neuter him. (Why they didn't wait for test results, I have no idea.) Anyhow, they called and said that they know I always want to be w/a cat when it's put to sleep but Buddy was already out and to let him wake up, then euthanize him just wouldn't be right. So I had to let him go. My friend is bringing him to me tomorrow and he'll bury him in my back yard next to Peeka and Puddy. My heart is in my throat. I feel like this is all a terrible nightmare.

I´m so sorry.... but you did gave him the best last moments.... and he purred his gratitude towards you....

[Taz_Zoee]

OH NO!!! This is just heartbreaking news. I can't believe this.
I am in such shock I can't even think straight.
Mary, I am sooo very sorry. Many hugs coming from me.

I'm so sorry.

Why on earth would they automatically euthanize because of FeLeuk? Many, many cats live long, healthy lives with it.

[orangemm]

OH NO. What a cruel twist. Mary, I am so sorry; my heart is breaking with yours.

RIP little Buddy..............

(((((hugs))))) Mary..............

Who would have taken him? I couldn't risk my Fur Posse's health and the foster family have 6 of their own and 19 fosters, one of which is FIV positive and is in isolation. We've been trying for months to find him a home but no one will take him. Someone who has no pets more than likely won't want an FeLV or FIV cat either. If I had kept him, he would've been awfully lonely because he would've been isolated in my garage and he was too friendly for that. I'm just heartsick over this. I got so excited, like a little girl, and even still, I looked at the grocery store, pharmacy, etc. for posters saying "lost cat" just in case he was a runaway, praying all the while that no one would come forward. I can't recall when I've seen a sweeter cat. Why is it that the ones who appear to be the healthiest are the ones who aren't? And the sickest ones that we think probably won't make it, do?
