Update on Kalina, last Tuesday I posted that I was taking my 13 year old Kalina to the vet for a quality of life check, as she wasn’t really eating or drinking much. I was extremely worried, that I was going to have to say good bye to her. Thankfully, I was able to get into see her regular vet. He told me since she was still quite active that he didn’t believe she was suffering. He gave her a B-12 injection and a pain medicine.injection. While she’s still not eating as well as I’d like her to, she’s eating small amounts of puréed kitten food and a stew like food of which she mostly just licks the broth out but occasionally she will eat some of that food also. She’s also back to enjoying her churro treat, which she’d previously lost interest in too. She will be going for another blood draw/test to check on her white blood cell count, July 17 which was of concern to my vet when she went for her wellness exam , June 13. Every day extra I have with her is precious Even though I’ve only had her for 2 1/2 months she’s already stolen my heart,it would be devastating to loose her both for myself and for my 12 year old rescue, Sebastian. I adopted Kalina as a companion for him, as he lost his bonded brother of 12 years. In the 2 months Kalina has been with us, he has become a more confident, less timid cat, although the two of them still spend a lot of time hiding under the recliner or under the futon when the 3 and 4 year old cats are out and about. Since Kalina has come into Sebastian’s life I now frequently find him sitting on one of the cat trees looking out the window, while Kalina lays on the window sill. Just thankful for all the prayers, positive thoughts for her and I. Please know I hold all members of this group in my thoughts and prayers and while I’m not good at always commenting on posts I’m with you all in spirit and am very thankful for this group. Hoping to join the group meeting this Thursday. The photo of her laying in my bathroom sink is one of her new go to spots.-
Sending positive thoughts your way!

Jan, two weeks is not long to process the extreme grief, and very real changes in your life💔This is one of the hardest, most painful times of your life and I hope you will go easy on yourself, and take care of yourself. Something that may help you is to write notes to sweet Baebe telling her what she meant to you, how much you will always love and miss her……anything you would like to share with her. And, you might also write a note TO You, From Baebe with what you think she would want you to know. I sincerely hope you will join our online group meeting this Thursday.

💔I am so sorry, Jacque💔Seeing our babies suffer is heartbreaking every moment, and trying to figure out what we can do to help them is a huge challenge. There can be a sense of relief that Sophie is no longer suffering, and peace knowing she has been released from her pain, but there is be a deep grief that she is no longer at your side💔Sophie will always be in your heart and I hope that you will, with time, find smiles before tears with her memories. Jacque, please join us this Thursday to share more about your life together. We meet on Zoom at 7PM Eastern. The link is under Events on the right side of this page. You are always welcome to share more photos and stories with us here, too. We are here for you, Jacque. With my deep sympathy, Toni. -

Oh Suzanne, how heartbreaking. You have purrrfectly expressed how difficult it is to assess what is best for our beloved babies. My vet says “better too early than too late”, but it is often so hard for us to know exactky how they are doing. You are a very kind, caring mom to open your home and heart to so many, and take such good care of them. I’m glad you’re going to the vet with Kalina and will let them guide you in the best path for her, even though it is so painful for you. That is the most loving, selfless act of a pet parent. It takes a minute to fall in love for a lifetime, and it hurts in a way nothing else can to say goodbye. We are here for, and with you, Suzanne. When you are up to it, please let us know how you are all doing. I will be thinking of you with hope, and sympathy. {{HUGS}} Toni -

Good morning,
This is my dear sweet 13 year old toothless Kalina, whom I adopted May 4, of this year, in memory of my Oliver, who unexpectedly passed on March 29, 2025. I also rescued this sweet petite little senior as a companion, for Oliver’s 12 year old bonded brother Sebastian, so he wouldn’t be lonely and terrorized by his 3/4 year old brothers. Based on the brief history I received from The foster mom of Kalina, she had a rough life. She was found abandoned on a freezing cold February night of this past year weighing less than 5 lbs and her sister who was found with her passed due to cancer. I knew adopting a senior cat was a risk but I chose to do so anyway. Since adopting her I’ve learned that she has irritable bowel disease, kidney disease and possibly cancer. Over the last couple of weeks, Kalina has been loosing interest in food but continued to drink like a fish, I would refill The water bowl regularly. Over this past weekend, she’s basically showing. No interst interest in food and has stopped guzzling water.Shes even for the most part lost interest in her favorite churros treats. Knowing she liked churros I decided to purchase some puréed wet food to see if I could persuade her to eat, little to no interest; someday bringing her tongue vet for a quality of life exam, knowing that most likely, Sebastian and I will be going home sigh out her. I have to say being a pet parent really sucks when you have to make difficult decisions like this. However, one thing I’ve learned having loose 4 cays in less than 3 years is a day early is better than a day late. Oliver suffered terribly as did myself and the other cats in the house because I waited 12 hours to say good bye to him because I wanted Sebastian there when he passed because I’m didn’t want to have him die of a broken heart as I’ve based happen in the past when my 16 year old , in good health , per vet, gave up and died of a broken heart after she lost her two bonded sisters with in. less than two months of each other. So please know while I pray for all of you I ask for prayers for myself for Kalina for Sebastian, who is doing so well with his new companion for Takoda and Oreo. as we prepare to probably come home to a less than full house today. it just amazes me how fast we pet parents become so attached to our beloved pets in such a short period of time and what a big gaping hole they leave in our hearts when we lose them. I will try to keep everyone updated as to what’s going on, but I don’t know if I’m gonna have the emotional stability to be able to do that today so it may be a while before I’m able to come back on and post again.-
