Goodbye Mr Stray....

[sasvermont]

You are such a sweet person for taking the sick and doing what is humane. I trust that the kitties that did not make it beyond their vet visit we spared the pain of having a slow and awful departure. You are doing the best you can. I don't think I could do it. You and Aly and Jen....and all those others who take in strays, ferals, fosters etc. are all angels.

Relax, have a glass of wine and remember that you are actually doing these furry creatures a favor by not letting them suffer.

Good-bye Mr. Stray. Please have fun at the RB and make sure you say hi to OJ and Casper.

RIP Mr Stray.

PIF, you are NOT a murderer. Don't even think that. *HUGS*

[jazzcat]

Oh I'm so sorry to hear this. Poor little guy.

[jenluckenbach]

Good bye Mr. Stray. Please look up Caramel at the RB so you can share stories about the kind human who helped you both in your times of need. Keep a watchful eye on Jenny because it is hard for her right now thinking that she has caused you pain. (when in reality she has spared you pain). Be well, now, at the RB, and know that your life did not end as an unwanted, disposible animal, but rather as a beloved creature from God. We will sorely miss you.

{{{{HUGS}}}} to you, Jenny. I wish I could make it easier for you.

I am so lucky to have you guys to vent too.

Reading your posts have really made me feel better.

Noone outside PetTalk would understand, why me & Steve even bother with our own cats (let alone strays cats)

I am so pleased I found this community, you are the strong shoulder for our bad times and help to share in the joy in the good times.

I just couldn't believe Mr Stray was ill but at least he wasn't ill and out on his own until the end. At least his end was quick and painless. (Repeat until I believe it)

My sweet baby boy, I am so sorry, I could not find you the furrever home I promised you


----------------------------
But logically we have picked up :-

: Caramel (PTS)
: Fleur, with her three kits (including Bramble) All tested clear and rehomed.
: Mr Stray (PTS)

So at least we rehomed 4/6 cats. So we haven't failed totally.

PS. I think my second glass of wine is helping too.

You do..by caring and sharing the pain.

[catland]

You've probably saved more than just the four. The two that were sick and had to be PTS will not be in the unfortunate situation of infecting any other kitties.

So your acts of mercy and kindness are helping kitties that you haven't even met yet.

[ChrisH]

I am so, so, sorry.

{{Big hugs}}

Rest in peace Mr Stray.

Aww Jenny I am so sad to hear about Mr Stray, I know how you must feel, but Mr Stray would have eventually suffered, you did the best you possibly could for him.

I had to do something similar years ago, and to this day it haunts me, knowing I was sending this poor feline to its death, but I also know in my heart it was the right thing, as the poor kitty was in a real bad way.

We are all here for you anytime , and hopefully our words can comfort you some, as it really does hurt doesn't it?

HUGS JENNY from us all here.

Oh I'm so so sorry to hear about Mr. Stray.
But I'm glad that his end came pain free. If he didn't come to you, he would not have know what love was and he propably would have been all alone during his illness and died suffering. What you did for Mr. Stray, was made his life far more better than what it would had been.
Bless you for doing what you do for these poor helpless animals.

Rst in Peace sweet Mr. Stay

[Felicia's Mom]

I am sorry.

[BastetsMum]

I am sorry to hear that. But you are their rescuer too. At least they didn't die not knowing love and affection, didn't die not knowing that most humans are kind and good, and didn't die without dignity or in pain from their advancing illnesses.

You are a good person for doing that so in a sense you have rescued ALL those cats. Just because they went to rainbow bridge doesn't mean you didn't rescue them at all. You should be proud that you took a very hard step.

{{{Hugs}}}} Jenny - don't even think your the 'M' word! Your a caring, loving person - who is so distressed because a furbaby had to go to Rainbow Bridge - he didn't suffer at all and knew he was loved so much.

RIP at the Bridge Mr Stray - I bet all our 'furries' were out to meet you - play well dear boy xxx
