My cat has chronic rhinitis and IBD for two years now and I am simply drained and can no longer take care of him, give him his meds, 4 meals a day, drops, and nebulization along with all the things I need to do such as work and my own health issues.
I have looked for a home for him but no one wants to take care of a sick cat and I know if I take him to a shelter or an adoption agency no one will want him and he will just sit in a cage until he is euthanized or succumbs to these illnesses.
His conditions are stable but it takes a lot of work on my part and living my life around him instead of having a life with a cat in it.
Is it ethical and fair to put him to sleep to avoid him suffering since I am physically and emotionally no longer able to take care of him?
