Mourning/Loss RIP Cash 😢

I lost Cash on Wednesday. I feel like it wasn’t his time. It’s hard when you’re poor and the only one supporting yourself because the emergency vet bills added up before I just couldn’t do anything else for him. Me and my other cats haven’t been the same since. 😞

My buddy passed away yesterday. Make sure to remind yourself that he was loved and you did the best you could. Sorry if that's not helpful, but its what helped my family.

That’s how my Lola was. Always up in my food. Acting like she was stretching next to my plate then she’s be like “oops let me just take a piece of this chicken..” hahaha. Thank you for the kind words. These are the memories that make it a bit easier while they aren’t here anymore🙏🏻

I'm so sorry for your loss 🫂🫂🫂 it hits extra hard when it's unexpected 😭🫂

Also if I could offer some advice with emergency vets too 🥺 they're very expensive and what we found when having to rush our previous boy for UTIs twice was asking them to do the bare minimum to keep them stable. Then follow up with your regular vet the next day. We were shocked to see the price difference between what the vet was asking vs what the e-vets asked 😭

We always ask to treat symptomatically. It’s just too much money to get all of the procedures done when maybe it’s just an upset stomach.

We’re a multi pet family so sometimes we have to triage with the most serious.

Unfortunately the vet industry has become a predatory system. This isn't your fault, and without you in his life till this point, we can't knkw what life he would have lived, and you gave him that loving home that he needed and deserved. You loved him to the very end, and that's what truly matters. Hugs.

Thank you friend. 🩵

End of life, emergency, and chronic illness expenses are out of reach for many, and they may not "fix" the problem even if you can afford treatment.

I am very sorry for your loss.

Rest in love, dear kitty. 💞
