Bad news on Yellow...

The vet took one look at him & knew he was very ill, so she suggested prior to neutering he be tested for the FIV, FIP & leukemia...well poor Yellow Cat was pretty far gone with it, hence the bad condition he was in. He was already suffering breathing issues not to mention the state of his overall physical body. I thought he just had severe malnutrition. The vet suggested putting him to sleep which we did even though it made me heartsick. Now that I think about it, it is rare a tom cat comes to your house, stays in a tree and doesn't leave, even at night. I guess the poor little guy knew he was on his last legs. It makes me so angry that there are so many irresponsible people out there contributing to the poor life conditions all these unwanted animals must face. I want to scream and hit and rail at someone right now, everyone really. Spay and neuter is the answer, why so many people ignore that is beyond me. I am grateful to my vets, they have always been compassionate and have even cried with me when warranted and rejoiced at other times like when Darby made a full recovery from what could have been a deadly blow. Well I guess this is my last Yellow Cat update, Godspeed little kitty. RIP.
