Just wanted to ask everyone to remember and pray for a sweet, young male cat that was abandoned in the snow and cold by his owner. A kind woman tried to find help for the cat and called around to several local shelters for advice/assistance. No one returned her calls.
Meanwhile, she took the cat to a vet to be checked out, where he tested positive for FIV. Although the cat was otherwise healthy, the vet recommended that he immediately be PTS. Not knowing any better, the woman agreed. We learned about this after the fact. It just makes me so sad knowing we likely could have helped place this cat. I don't know anymore than that about him, but just feel like he should be remembered somehow. RIP sweet boy.

I am praying for the angel. I know he is at peace now and is happy at the bridge.

RIP angel. This world can be so unbelieveably cruel. I am glad you are at peace and happily scampering with our other RB babies.

I'm so terribly sorry this had to happen. He's now okay though and has no pain and only happiness at a much better place.

I'm so sorry. May the good Lord take him home to be with him forever. ❤

That post is from 2005, so i doubt the poster will receive it, but you never know and it's something that should be brought up to remind others about these poor abandoned babies. it happened then, and I'm sure it is still happening today. It's why I champion cats......RIP sweet boy. You will not be forgotten. May the good Lord bless and keep you, the angels hold you in loving arms.
