Thank you to everyone who reached out to help. My little boy is now gone. It has been a heartbreaking day. I've never felt a loss like this. He was in my life for 17.5 years. I'm really hurting right now, wondering what-if, feeling guilty. It was so hard today.

The vet called me. They said he has fluid in his lungs. They did a chest x-ray and found spots on his lungs which they think are tumors. They called the lab and the lab thinks his mass that was removed is cancerous.

They made me drop him off and leave him there. Poor guy, I feel so bad for him to be stressed out again. Hopefully they call me soon.

I'm just wondering if he is in a lot of pain which is causing all these breathing issues and not wanting to eat. I tend to think the worst, so I am here so worried about him. Only 18 more minutes until they open...

Thank you. We made it though the night, so I am calling our vet here at 7 am. He didn't want any food this morning so I am still concerned. His breathing hasn't changed, so still worried. His vitals seems to be in the range you mentioned, but I can't be certain.

My 17 year old cat had surgery on Thursday for a mass removal in his bladder. Today is Sunday and he's been breathing heavily today and more rapid than usual. He is only on a drug called Prazosin. I am going to call the vet in the morning, but I am very worried about him. Does anyone know if...

First, a background on my cat, T'pol: He is 17 years old and will be 18 in February. I got him as a kitten when I was 24 and now here I am at 42 and he is still here. In 2018 we found out he has kidney disease. So far, he is hanging in there. He drinks a lot of water and pees a lot. He is also...

They were most likely trapped and taken. Again, just to make my point: THEY WERE TRAPPED Although I can't be 100% certain, this just happened to me and my colony. If one cat disappears, that is normal. If they all disappear, then they were trapped. Everyone always says coyotes. Coyotes. It...

When I went out today to check on the two feral cats at the new shelter location, only one was there. One of the shelters had been knocked over like there was a scuffle. I hope she comes back. So I am questioning bringing the 4 tabbies out there now. Sad when it just seems to have all fallen...

Let me get people's opinion on if I should break the cats out of prison: So, the cat sanctuary is a small building. Maybe its 20 x 30 feet. Not sure exactly. It's brand new. It has 6 windows. It has a back screened in patio where the cats can go outside, only the cat flap seems to mess them up...

Jail break! Guys, the park is letting me bring the other 4 cats to join the colony. Tomorrow we plan to break them out of the cat prison and take them to the park. Still some work ahead and getting them adjusted to a new location, but I feel confident it will work. Today the other two cats...

One quick update: When I went to the new park today during my lunch break, both ferals were still there! They were scared and jumpy, but they ate the food I brought them. I'm so glad the one who ran off yesterday came back. I think if they can stay the next few days, my chances are good they...

If I could just go back in time 24 hours, I would have not taken her to the shelter. Here is my letter to Spunky: Spunky, My dearest sweet girl. I am so sorry that you are no longer here with me. Last night, I made a terrible mistake and when I realized what I had done, it was too late to...

I was too late to get my sweet Spunky back from the animal shelter. They wasted no time in putting her down. I feel so guilty. There is so much regret. I failed Spunky. My heart is heavy

Hi all. So I had to disband my feral cat colony of 10 after a jerk trapped and removed three of them. I only had them 4 months, but I got super attached to them. All of the events of the past 4 days have left me stressed out, no appetite, and trouble sleeping. Here's the status of the cats: -...
