This is a really difficult post to write. 💔
Mr. Baby the cat has been part of our lives for nearly 20 years, and his health has declined very suddenly.
Pisses himself in his sleep. Needs help eating, cleaning himself, getting to/from his litter box or food dishes.
He's been alternating between hiding under the couch and being unusually, uncharacteristically cuddly.
We’re taking him to the vet first thing tomorrow, but we’re in a tight financial spot and don’t have the funds for end-of-life care or potential treatment on our own.
We’ve set up a GoFundMe to help cover the urgent vet visit, diagnostics or medication if treatment is possible, or euthanasia and cremation if it’s time. Our goal is simply to make sure his care and comfort come first, without having to make decisions based on money.
If you’re able to help or share, we’d be incredibly grateful. Thank you for helping us take care of our sweet old man. 💙

CW: Pet Loss / Euthanasia

Tomorrow is the hardest day: saying goodbye to my sweet tuxedo cat She just turned 18 (88 in human years)!

She is the 5th rescue cat I've adopted and helped transition with dignity. Wednesday is her final peaceful appointment.

Her health fell fast: cancer and liver issues... Using the H5M2 Quality of Life Scale, her comfort score dropped below 35. Her struggle is too great!

She is weak and falls down when standing so I bring her food, water, and do daily towel-baths. Her purrs are constant, but her body is tired. It is time for peace!

I find comfort in the BTS song Spring Day. If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever. Thank you, my friend, for 18 years of love! Until we meet again.
