Our shelter lost a sweet old cat last week. His name was Farley & from the moment I saw him I knew there was something physically wrong with him. A trip to the vet in early December found nothing. So I put my worries aside. Then last Wednesday I recieved a call that Farley was having trouble breathing. We rushed him to our vet who told us he needed more help than they could give him that late in the day. So he spent the night at the ER vet. His breathing was eased, but his kidneys failed. They tried to bring his kidneys back, but his heart just couldn't handel the hydration. The ER vet told me that it was hopeless. So myself & 2 other volunteers went to be with him as he made his trip over the bridge.

Farley I am sorry we could not do more for you. I take peace in knowing you are out of pain. Play happily over the bridge with Alli & Samson, no fighting! Know you were loved & will be missed.

I am sorry for the loss of Farley. l am glad he knew love and someone trying to help him in the last moments of his life. I am also glad he did not die unloved and alone. Thank you. Rest in peace Old Farley. You were loved.

How wonderful that he had people who love him with him as he made the Crossing. How long was he in the shelter? Did he grow old there, or did some loser dump him in his old age and break his heart?

You were loved Farley, people (including me) are grieiving for you, and will be in good company at the Bridge.

Farley had only been with us since the end of November. His previous owners had to surrender him because he was being picked on by the other two cats in the home. It now makes sense, but someone the vets missed his heart condition. They believed him to be about 9 years old, but the vet at the emergancy hospital said she believed he was a lot older than 9.

Hopefully, your Farley is with my Farley curled up in the sun at the Rainbow Bridge.

God Bless you for looking after the old gentleman so lovingly.
