Introducing: Ben Purr

oh hugs and kisses to you also, rosethecopycat!!!! wonderful things you do!!!

**rosethecopycat** · 06-08-2004, 10:06 AM

Let's hope the decision I have to make today is wonderful too.

Bennie has not responded to numerous drugs, and he remains without a DX.

He has stopped eating and his breathing is from poor to terrible (open mouth)

I am taking him to a specialist today at 12:30.
If he knows what's wrong and is able to treat, then Bennie will have his last chance. (this specialist is expensive and out of the realm of a rescue cat's care, but we donated $600 to help Bennie)

If the specialist thinks the humane thing to do is to let him go, then I will be there with him to help him cross over.

He is such a dear, big lamb of a boy. Still trying to purr.

Please send up songs for Bennie today.

So sad. Prayers going out your way the Ben Purr's condition will be treatable.

I hope he gets a chance with the specialist. Any idea why he's so congested? A sweet orange tabby (emaciated too) I had here a few weeks ago (Cheddar was rescued by Leslieflenner) had a high temp. and was wheezing so I popped half a Zithromax tablet down his throat. The next morning his temp was way down and the wheezing and heaving in his chest was gone! You may want to give that a try...I would. HUGS!!

When I was too weak, for the second time, to even raise my head, I laid it in her hand, and she said she was my furever Mama, and she let me go.

Godspeed to the bridge, Bennie

Candles lit and tears flowing for my sweet lamb.

Thank you all for all the kind songs, and blazing candles.

I saw a rainbow in FL today, so I know he's found his way.

I'm so sorry.

Ben Purr is with all the helpless souls we've rescued who were too weak to make it. You tried your best Rose.

**lizbud** · 06-08-2004, 08:32 PM

Thank you Rose for loving him and trying your best.

Rest In Peace Bennie.

I'm so sorry! I had missed this thread until today and as I read I hoped that handsome Ben Purr would have a long happy life here on earth. Now he is healthy and running happily at the Bridge.

Rest in Peace sweet Ben.

You did your best Rose. Sweet Ben is purring happily away at the Rainbow Bridge and thanks you for easing his way there.

**leslie flenner** · 06-15-2004, 11:05 PM

he'll be awaiting you in years to come, with open arms and purrs... you did what you could, no less, he knows that. whoever left him, will answer to the higher power (if that is the case). He was, and you were, lucky to find each other. He had several days of lovin'-- way better than passing unloved and forgotten like so many strays are. You are an angel, he is an angel. I know you loved him and you still can! He's with all of our passed on pets... (actually THAT gives me comfort! that he's with my siamese Dashielle and Cheops...and Tilly, Varney, etc) I think we'll see them all again. And at minimum, they are no longer suffering.

**davidpizzica** · 06-16-2004, 02:45 AM

Rose, you did your best to ease his hurting on earth and now his sufering is gone at the Bridge. He's in great company, romping and playing with my RBs Thai and Freddie. I'm sorry that you are so sad at his passing.

**MULTICATMOM** · 07-04-2004, 06:01 PM

HE'S A GORGEOUS ALBEIT SKINNY BOY! I'M SURE GLAD HE'S CURABLE!! MAY HE GROW INTO A BIG, SPOILED FAT CAT!! MAY HIS BEAUTIFUL SAD BLUE EYES START TO SHINE WITH HAPPINESS!!!!!!!!!
