My sweet kitten was put to sleep yesterday. He fought hard but in the end it was too much for his little body to take. He truly was special. He was the sweetest, friendliest cat I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. My heart is broken and my mind cannot rest. Every picture I look at brings more tears. I know putting him to sleep was the best option for him. He was suffering and I couldn't bear to keep him that way. I am having a very hard time getting through this. He was my baby... I had high hopes that we would get better and live a long, happy life. I think that is what makes this grieving process that much harder for me. I had started to see improvement and then just like that, he had gotten to the point where he wouldn't get any better. Rest easy my sweet boy.. I will miss you laying on my cold feet under my desk. I will keep my pillow moved over just a little to save room for you. I will keep your favorite red jacket on the floor in the bedroom for you.. I will never forget you.

I'm so sorry that Jasper didn't make it.   You did the right thing in ending his suffering, but I know it hurts so much to be without him now.  He sounds like a very special little guy, one who knew he was loved and gave a lot of love in return.  You gave him a good home and took care of him when he was sick.  I hope with time you get some comfort from memories of the good times with him.  They never do leave us once they've taken up home in our hearts.

RIP Dear Little Jasper.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet little Jasper; it seems so unfair to lose him so young...You fought hard to save him, I am sure he was thankful for all you did.

Fly Free Little Guy and land softly--you were so loved!

He was such a special little guy, it leaves a horrible hole in your heart and your home to have him leave you. He will be sorely missed but never forgotten, even though he was only with you for such a short time, he will live on forever in your heart, that is something that can never be taken from you. You made his last days ones full of love and comfort, that is all he ever wanted. Thank you for sharing his story so that many can share in your sorrow and hopefully lighten your pain, take care........ RIP sweet Jasper, you will never be forgotten and loved forever here on earth!

Condolences on losing your dear Jasper!!! Sometimes true love is letting go, even when ending their suffering means the beginning of ours...He was an incredibly beautiful boy - his coat looked like a bobcat. He is now with the ancestors and those yet to be born. His time was too short, but he left this world knowing what is was to be loved, to be safe, with comfortable shelter & toys & scritches....I hope that soon you will be blessed with another little cat to fill the cat-sized hole in your heart. Meanwhile, do not hesitate to PM me or any of the other members - we have been there & understand your pain!
