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

[phesina]

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

Melissa, I am so VERY VERY GLAD you found him and gave him warmth and light and food and love and comfort and peace at the end of his long, long journey.

God bless you both and bring you peace.

and lots of {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} and ~~~~~~PURRS~~~~~~,
Pat, Sydney, Poppy, Elmer, Bob, Sparkler, and Lavinia

Melissa,

I'm so sorry you had to make such a final decision. But like you said, it was for the best. You gave him his last meal and you were with him when he went to the Bridge. That's more than I can say for the owners.

You did good. Mickey is now at the RB. He was loved, even if it was for such a short time.

Love and hugs,

Donna

If there are typos in this, please forgive me - it's hard to type through the tears for poor abandoned Mickey. But bless you, Melissa, for giving him what he probably never had: love. He left Earth knowing that - finally! - someone loves him and cares. So many must make their transitions alone and unknown; you gave him a very great gift, and I hope that the Creator will bless you for it.

One thing: If ever you have another positive FeLV test, ask for a second one to be sent to Antech. Althea was tested a few years ago when she became anemic, and my doctor called to tell me the test was positive. My heart sank. But Mike being the thorough vet that he is, he asked me to bring her in for another test, which he sent to Antech; they not only have more sophisticated equipment, they also have vets who will work with your vet if need be. Althea's second FeLV test, at Antech, was *negative*, so we knew that she does not have FeLV! From the condition poor Mickey was in, it's hard to say; maybe he had it, maybe he didn't. For sure, he doesn't have it now: he's living in Love, gloriously alive, perfect healthy, and blissfully happy. And it is *you* for whom he waits - you who proved your love. May the Creator bless you mightily.
