Pepper

I am so devistated.. The stray my boss was caring for, the one I helped her care for, was put down today. I don't know what to think. Im sad, Im angry, But im not sure if I should be. My boss found a shelter to take him to, where they would find him a home. But, they tested him for feline Leukemia, and he was positive. So they put him down. I am so shocked, I honestly thought he was healthy. I didn't know they were gunna put him to sleep if he was positive! I thought they were going to give him back, and that my boss would care for him. I guess its better this way right? So he won't suffer?

Pepper-- Im so sorry things didn't work out. You were sick, we didn't expect it. I loved you, Chris loved you. We wanted to find you a furr-ever home. I guess it wasn't meant to be. Just know that I loved you so much, and that I wanted you! At least someone in this world cared about you. I didn't know you were in pain, I didn't knowyou were sick. I am grieving for you as I would for one of my babies.. You were one of my babies in a sense I guess. Im gunna miss seeing you, feeding you. I am going to miss feeling you rub on my legs and meow at me, I am gunna miss your head-butts and you hissing at me for touching your tail. You were so sweet. I miss you already sweetheart, my Pepperboy. I am crying for you right now. I am just glad you experienced love at some time in your life.

Play happily over the Bridge, My Pepper. I hope to see you there some day. I will miss you, I will love you.. Until we meet again, my sweet boy...

The shelter did not inform your Boss before they put Pepper down that he had Leukemia? If they did not then your Boss must have just dropped Pepper off and left and they tested him after?

If it was me I would be both sad and angry ... I am sorry for the loss of this kitty being that my own Leo kitty had Fel Luk and I would give ANYTHING to have him with me sick with Fel Luk still but at least 1/2 healthy for a while.

Pepper could have lived for a long time with the disease

RIP sweet Pepper kitty... say hi to Leo for me!

I know i would be upset as well

Be happy at the bridge Pepper

Rest in Peace Pepper.

So sorry about Pepper. But, I know FLV is a nasty disease. I had a pregnant ferral who I took to the vet to test. They told me that if the test came back positive for Feline Aids, they would not recommend putting her down. But if it came back positive for FLV they would recommend it. Don't beat yourself up over this. As others will tell you, this is a bad disease for our fur kids. The site is full of sad stories of how this sickness broke their hearts, watching their cats go down hill. He is ok now, over the bridge where I hope he meets some of my buds. I am sure you will see this little one again. Hugs to you and PIP(Play in peace) to Pepper.

RIP, Pepper.

Condolences to your boss & you....it was not the outcome that anyone hoped for, but now Pepper is okay, playing happily, rubbing & purring & getting scritches from some little boy or girl angel who was called Home too soon as well....and who knows, but all the Leukemia victims have their own meet-ups over the Bridge. It wouldn't be Heaven if it didn't have our beloved cats & dogs - I am sure of it
