Cat Left Outside by Old Owner Anyone Interested? Cat Put To Sleep FELV+

[Anikaca77]

Last night I went right after work to go to this person's place to see if I could find this black and white cat and when I pulled up I saw a long hair black and white cat go under their garage.

I got my can food out and started calling the kitty "here kitty kitty". The kitty meowed and the cat was just so cute, so pretty. He came over to the can food and just ate away...poor thing was so hungry and I know the people who moved into the house have been feeding him but he was so boney. I got my cat carrier out of my trunk and got him in it with the dry cat food.

He was so friendly a little scared of the car ride but overall did ok. He did have a small accident in the cat carrier but that's ok.

I called my vets to see if they would run a quick combo test before I took him to my house and told them I could be there in 20 mins. and they said to bring the kitty in.

I was so glad they would do that for me. I brought him in and he was talking a little bit and they came out to get him and took him back. He came back out to me and they asked if I was going to wait for the results and I was thinking well they are going ot be normal so I should just head home because I needed to get cat litter, some more cat food, etc. But I decided I would just wait and text a few people that I needed to.

So I waited and the one vet tech came out and told me that he was FELV+. I asked her if she was 100% sure that he was and she said yes. I then asked her if a vet might be available for me to talk to.

The pulled me into exam room #2.

I knew the results and I couldn't take him home with my cats.....so I had to make the hard decision to put him down. With him being skinny already we didn't know if that was the FELV already working against him or not and they gave him a sedative to go to sleep and he went to sleep almost within a minute. Then they came in to do the rest....his veins kept blowing and she couldn't get a good spot at all. They ended up having to give him the drugs in his heart, I was going to leave but I couldn't just leave him regardless. I said my goodbyes and that I was so sorry. I was going to give him so much love and fatten him up.

Poor guy. Rest in peace Mickey. He reminded me of Mickey Mouse and I was going to call him that.

RIP dear sweet kitty kitty, I'm so sorry.

Oh, Mickey and Melissa, I am so very, very sorry.

Mickey, I only wish I could have reached across and done something to give you some of all that you needed so badly after being so cruelly abandoned.

Rest in peace now, you are now being welcomed heartily at the Rainbow Bridge, and you will never be cold or hungry or frightened or abandoned again. And in days to come, One Fine Day for each of us, you will welcome Melissa and me and all the others learning your story and sending you all our hearts' worth.

Here is a candle for you, dear Mickey: http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/...g&cid=12653360
