Thanks for checking in ❤️. I've just been pushing thru. I'm naturally questioning my decision. Even a year later, I still question my choice to put down my Boris after his second kidney failure. So im sure ill always feel guilty. It snowed that night after burying him, which has always been a...

Thank you everyone, for everything. He was sedated, and I was able to pet and kiss him for the first and last time. We spent time with him before we called the doctor back in. The doctor noted he was covered in battle scars as he shaved his leg. A true NYC king. I had no idea how large he...

His appointment is this morning. Last night and this morning he ate steak and salmon, AND all his cat food. His appetite is still voracious, and maybe I'm just looking for reasons to rationalize to myself he's okay. We spoke with the doctor about sedation first, so we could just pet him for a...

thank you. i will most definitely make sure he is sedated first. I will also be feeding him steak, as a vegetarian it'll be the first time ive purchased meat in a while. but he deserves it.

Everyone, After putting it off, I've made a final appointment for Vlad on Saturday. The last few days he has been lunging in addition to hissing at me as I try to feed him. I haven't been able to spend time with him lately ashe seems increasingly disturbed by my presence. I feel this is...

No, he can't. He just dribbles, probably because his bladder is so full :( I'm really trying to avoid putting him down as I know just taking him in will be stressful and scary. I don't want his last moments to be surrounded by people he doesn't trust.

The amputation won't help with his incontinence. That's a done deal, likely as a result of the nerve damage from the tail injury which goes all the way up. The amputations only purpose is for hygeine, which is doubly important with an incontinent bladder.

Thanks everyone, I'm giving him as much food as he wants, as many treats as he'd like. He is still angry with me for having to chase him down to take him to the last vet visit. He is back to growling st me whenever I enter the room. Serves me right, I suppose. Maybe this is crazy, but would it...

Hey everyone, I have an unfortunate update. He went in for another exam today, he doesn't appear to have much anal tone, and the Dr. Believe he isn't able to express his own bladder. Because of this, a barn cat program isn't an option. Due to him being aggresive, and his dislike of being...

hey everyone, I have someone working to find him a home. he works for a few no kill organization in boston, which is about 2 hours from me. hes found a few leads but I still need to get him vetted before anything can happen. Im waiting to call back the humane society out here about maybe getting...

Poor Vlad way more than poor me. I just feel awful I am not helping enough.

Thanks guys, I'm currently waiting for contact back from three separate no kill rescue organizations. I won't put him back into a kill center. I can't and I won't.

Hey everyone. After contacting a barn cat shelter program, I was told to hold off on the surgery to see if they could get a shelter discount. I've since been transferred to three separate organizations. The consensus of which seems to be Vlad is more than I can handle. So far, I haven't been...

I really appreciate all your support, guys. I've been contacted by two rescue programs. I won't give him up if he isn't going to have a good place to go. He's still hiding in his box. I'm setting up an appointment for an exam this week.

Again, I just can't afford to keep doing all these things. He needs to be where where someone can properly care for him. They won't just arbitrarily give antibiotics, they will require testing. I'm still working my butt off to get him his amputation and neuter. Trust me, I was up all night...

I can't inject him. I am covered in bites and Socrates just from giving him treats, or reaching into his crate to clean his litter box. I can't afford to keep taking him to the vet, either. I'm still scrimping and saving just to get him an appointment for his amputation. I really wish this had...

There was urine in the cat box but he was spending all his time laying in the litter box at the time. When I gave him a cat tent, he started laying in there and that's when I noticed there wasn't much if any pee in the litter box. When I replaced the tent with a cardboard box it was soaked in...

:(We suspected it had been happening from day one, and now I know for sure. This is a hug problem, we really can't have a cat in our home peeing uncontrollably, with no way to get it under control. Our house has other animals, and the room he is in now is only empty temporarily. Being...

Hey guys, so I checked on Vlad when I got home. He is still in his box and I noticed the bottom of the box is soaked in urine. He appears to just be peeing wherever he is, making me feel pretty confident he is likely incontinent. This poses a huge challenge, as we can't have a cat peeing all...

He ate today. im wondering if he is drinking water though as i havent really noticed any urine in his pan. I feed him wet and dry just in case. He eats these freeze dried salmon treats i picked up at Petco the other day, but he wont eat it when Im there. I do have temptations but I havent...
