Little update. My trio has become a duo. My sweet Snow Bear passed away last Thursday at about 10:45pm. I couldn't afford to bring him to the vet to figure out what was going on let alone afford to have him euthanized. In hindsight, while I deeply regret my lack of ability to secure him the veterinary care he deserved (and will never take in another cat until and unless I am able to be in a situation where basic veterinary care is not a financial impossibility) I do not for one moment regret not having him put down.
It was one of the most difficult things I think I've experienced in my life and that is truly saying a lot coming from someone who was literally tortured as a child.
But I don't regret it. He passed away at home, lying next to me on the bed, as comfortable as we could make him, surrounded by his family and our unending love for him.
Losing him has been heartbreaking but I'm trying hard to be strong for Sasha and Peppy. Their relationship dynamic was not very good before Snowy passed and now it's all up in the air once more.
I'm trying to spend more one on one time with both. I'm finding myself needing to comfort Sasha who seems to be in shock over the loss of her near lifelong companion and playing with Peppy who has this newfound need for affection and a kitten like playfulness.
It's hard. It's really hard.
Rest in Heaven, Snow Bear.
