I lost two cats this week 😥 Totally unrelated causes, just incredibly shitty timing. I’m so broken right now, I don’t even want to get out of bed. I’ve told almost no one, I just can’t deal with the calls and texts and are you oks. I’m not, I will be, I know this is part of taking in older rescues, it’s no easier though. One was my Moms old barn cat, she truly ended her life well. She loved living inside, her big fluffy bed in front of the fireplace. The other was my baby, I got her and her sister on a whim. They had been serendered to a high kill shelter, being older and being taken togeather, didn’t have a good chance. She was my little love bug,and I just can’t deal not hearing her thump across the floor or snuggle in the morning while I have coffee. Her sister who’s never been terribly snugly hasn’t left my side
Sorry about the ramble, I just needed to get it out somewhere 🐱🐱❤️

Oh God. That's the worst. Probably because we cant communicate with them with dialogue. I always think that they know we were there for them and you made them feel safe and because of that, they had good lives.

Your compassion moves me. Thank you for being a great human being.

The only bad part of having pets is knowing that we won't have them forever. I'm sorry for the loss of your family members.

I lost my dog a month ago. It was awful! People say it’s like losing a member of the family, and it truly is! You spend so much time with your pets, so their presence is really missed. I’m sorry for your loss!

I'm so sorry, I know how much you love them. I know they had the best lives possible while they were with you.

Aww, so sorry, girl. Pet deaths are totally as impactful as other family member deaths, let yourself grieve without feeling like you shouldn't. You are such a kind person to take such great care of rescue animals, there should be more people like you in the world.

Thanks guys....your words mean a lot ❤️

Sorry for your losses, FKF and BabyAngel.
Losing a pet is truly so hard and it takes a long time to heal. Just take comfort in knowing that you gave them the best life and that they loved you unconditionally.

Hugs ladies! ❤️❤️❤️
I lost my sweet husky in May 2016 and I could still cry thinking about him. It's sooo tough to lose a pet. Much love and good vibes coming your way.

Thank you so much ❤️ I have a little kitten with me till Christmas Eve and he’s keeping my other one well annoyed lol
And a little funny in all this, cause I can’t keep crying! I called me neighbor over to tell her. Our backyards aren’t fenced and her kids sometimes let the dog out. They’re buried just off my deck and didn’t want him digging. Through sobbing crazy ugly crying I told her to keep her dog leashed until we at least have a good freeze or I’d have to be buring the dog as well 😡😂

Oh FKF, so sorry to hear about your kitties. You are a kind soul!

I'm so so sorry to hear, it's damn tough to lose our fur babies. On Monday I had to put down my cat that I've had for 10 years, poor girl just changed overnight and couldn't go on. I know what you're going through, I've been a wreck all week and keep looking for her. Hang in there and thinking of you.

Sorry FKF, I am just now seeing this. I have two rescues myself. Both cats that my kids wanted and now of course I take care of them. It's crazy how much they grab your heart. One now is diabetic and costing us a fortune but what are you going to do, you love them so much. Hopefully you feel better soon and take comfort in the beautiful life you gave them.

So sorry for your loss! But thank you for giving them all the love in the world and rescuing them! What a wonderful soul you are, don't forget that! Sending you love and comfort at this time.

I'm not sure how I missed this thread, but sending you hugs right now. Aside from my husband and my parents, my cat is my favorite being in the world. She's sending you hugs too. 🐱❤️

So I hate to dredge up this old depressing post but a rough night here and my husband fell asleep in front of the National championship game so I’m on my own. I had to put down my mom’s Dog tonight while she’s in China for work. She’s been gone two weeks and will be home in a few days but it couldn’t wait. The dog was old and has had physical pain for some time, but I feel so shitty that this happened without her here and I had to tell her via FaceTime. He was the brother dog to my own (from the same litter) and I know my girl will probably have to go soon which makes this feel like my loss too.
Also since she’s been gone her house that she’s in the process of trying to short sale had a burst water pipe and flooded basement. She’s the best mom and just deserves so much better. Ugh why do people own pets. It hurts so much to let them go.

I’m so sorry LT, that’s a terrible situation to be in. Your mom is very lucky to have you.
As sad as it it to lose a pet, we have them because the joy they bring us while they’re here makes it all worth it. Try to think about the happy times & what a great life you’ve given them. ❤️

So sorry LT! I can’t articulate it any better than DB did, but sending you good vibes 🐾💕

Thank you both. I realistically know why we own pets I just hate this part of it. And I hate that she wasn’t able to be with her dog befoee he passed. That hurts the most.

I am so sorry, and the broken pipes is such an awful thing to come home to. Hoping for strength during this time. The year is off to a rough start but can only get better!

Oh LT, I’m so sorry ❤️ That’s so many things to handle at once.

I appreciate the support. I actually now have to take my dog (his sister) to the vet because she can’t stop vomiting. Fingers crossed that today works out as a better day than yesterday.

Just logging on to see this. Been an insane few days. Her stomach is either filed with ulcers or tumors. She’s old so we don’t want to biopsy to know for sure. So for now we will just be keeping her comfortable for however long that may be. It could be weeks or months or years. It’s a guessing game.
