Our latest rescue cat (Chinchilla) *UPDATE*

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Awwww thanks for giving her at least one or two days in luxury! She feels you care!!
I hope you can save her, she is a beauty!!

[moosmom]

Please don't kill her! She needs a second chance. I hope you will give her that chance. She's beautiful.

Get something in her! Force feed if you have to. I can't believe she managed to survive on the streets only to die once she has been rescued. That is to hard to grasp.. Feed her baby food meat from a jar. TRY to get something in her.

[moosmom]

Try chicken or turkey baby food. Get some water into her so she doesn't get anymore dehydrated than she already is.

please force feed or something!!!!!!!!!!

*Sigh* We have been giving her water/ watered down pet milk. We are not going to let her starve and die naturally.

If the vets says that nothing can be done to save her then yes she will be humanly PTS.. better than living out her days waiting to die.

I can't believe she managed to survive on the streets only to die once she has been rescued.

And i cannot believe you would post something like this without knowing how frail she is . I know i would rather her be PTS than get hit by a car or worse.

I for one can tell how bad she looks from the photo. But of course, since photos can be deceiving, I did not say anything. I hope the vet feels that with a little supportive care, she can rebound. But I agree, being PTS humanely HAS to be better than dying a slow, painful death on the streets. Best of luck with her.

Prayers for dear Willow - and I know you will do what is best for this poor girl!

She is loved and cared for...I hope for the best, as she may be in shock.

I hope she rallies - I know you do, too!

If I lived near you, I'd run out and get some baby food for her to try.

hugs!

I've known Laura's Babies a long time and I really don't think meant to offend anyone. I think she MEANT to say that it's a SHAME to see Willow finally be rescued from the streets and find a home, only to be PTS because she was so sick and frail, just when there was light at the end of tunnel. Does my explanation make sense??? No one can know how frail Willow, except for you. I'm praying that she will start to come around.

Please keep us posted. And thank you for being Willow's guardian angel.

Thanks moosmom, that is exactly what I was thinking when I posted that and anyone that knows me knows that.

I am so glad to hear that she is doing better and will continue to send good thoughts and prayer her way.

[Kater]

Oh my, I am so glad you spotted this little one! Poor baby - did they check for a microchip at the vet?

My prayers are with this sweetie. I know you will do your best for him/her, Rhi. I am so glad to read that s/he is eating!!

[cloverfdx]

Thanks everyone .

Well... turns out Willow was actually a male and named Smokey, a different vet checked for a microchip and found one. He is 15.5 years old, has a tumor on his shoulder and has some memory loss and is allowed to roam .

The owners said he will often wander off and be missing for a week, and then return home again. Their vet has said in the past that he should have died 5 years ago (They thought he would not survive this long) when they found the tumor , but he keeps on kicking.

I am glad he got to go home though, and hope he will be happy and pain free for his remaining time on earth.

[Laura's Babies]

Awww! That is wonderful that he had owners that wanted him back. I had a feeling that was the case. 15 years old? WOW! Poor baby with all those problems. Thank God you cared enough to stop and pick him up and he was able to find his way back home. I am sure you made his owner very happy!

[critter crazy]

WOW!! I am glad you found his owners, but what kind of a person allows a cat with a tumor, poor health and memory loss to just wander off??? That just makes me mad! I just cant believe it! I m glad that you were able to get him back on his feet! not sure how long that will last if his owners just let him run off again. You have a very generous heart! Smokey will remember his savior, I am sure!
