    Max needs a PT miracle- sad update :-(((

    Max is a permanent resident of the shelter where I help and has Feline leukemia. He has it since he was born and he is now four years old, although the vet prediction was that he would probably not live longer than a year...

    I was at the shelter yesterday evening to hear about a very sad news: Max has stopped eating and he is vomiting, also blood. Up to now the vet could not find a specific cause. Max is declining very fast and I have almost no hope that I will see him again next Tuesday. I have the feeling that only one of these Pt miracles could save him!

    Yesterday he still came to me when I arrived and he slightly purred (I hardly heard it) when I pet and kissed him, but not more. He is a very sweet, friendly and talkative kitty, usually.

    Here is a picture of him I "stole" from the shelter website, this is the only one I could find:


    Please, keep Max in your thoughts! I will keep you posted when I know more but I have to go now because I am at work and of course, I am crying while typing this.

    Pet Talk prayers have been said for Max. I pray he recovers right away. He seems like a sweet kitty and I'm glad you were there to show him some loving.

    Prayers for beautiful Max. What a handsome boy!

    He does know he is loved, that is for sure.

    I hope this illness is not related to the leukemia, and that he recovers. I know it doesn't sound good...but you never know.

    Whatever happens, Max has outlived the predictions - and been warm, fed and LOVED!!! And he knows it...just look at that face.

    {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}} to you. This is heartbreaking.

    Sending all my best thoughts for Max. He looks serious- as if he knew something.... Don't forget- the cats know how to go in elegance- it's just us who don't want to let them go....

    Update :-((((

    Thank you all for the nice thoughts you had for Max even if you don't know him.

    Unfortunately Max is not with us anymore After one week of fight the disease got him and Max was put to sleep on Monday. There was no other choice. The last lab results were very bad and Max's liver was highly damaged. During the whole week he did not eat at all, but remained very peaceful and sweet with everybody. As he has been during his whole life.

    Rest in peace sweet Max. We will never forget you.





    Max has a buddy (also a Feline leukemia cat), Romeo who is alone now.
    Here is a picture of Romeo:


    It is so terribly empty at Romeo's place now, so heartbreaking I could hardly look at the empty sheep bed (the one you see on the picture with Max) yesterday evening.
    We are trying to give Romeo a lot of attention. The first day he was very stressed, looking around with big eyes, smelling everything. Yesterday he was a bit better, pretty quiet when I cuddled him but after some time he was clearly looking (searching) for something. So everyone at the rescue will watch him carefully, we wait a few days to see how he reacts, and if he does not get used to Max's absence, we will consider finding a new leukemia companion for him in another shelter.

    I am so sorry, Sonia59, I had no idea. I hope you are doing okay. I know you have to be feeling so sad and lonely right about now.

    My prayers are with you, sweetie.

    Rest in peace, sweet Max.
