Well I have been giving Mama George Pedialyte to stop her diarrhea,which seems to help.The vet will determine if mama needs to be put to sleep or not.If she needs to be put down,then I have the money to do so.My issue is I would like to have her cremated and have her ashes back.But it will cost $175 .Otherwise,I have two options…have her cremated for $65 and the humane society will scatter her ashes under a tree,or bring her home and bury her.
I do not know if I am allowed to because I live in a mobile home park.I own my house,rent the lot.
I do not know what to do. -

Dianne, you have agonized over this for months, and George has been so up and down, that no one here would ever fault you (or anyone) for making this selfless gesture for her sake. I am terribly sorry and know how very deeply this hurts you. But poor little George will finally find relief and release, and that’s who we have to think of. I am sending you my heartfelt sympathy. Please check in with us over the next days, weeks and months, and let us be a support for you. Toni -

My heart is breaking as I am facing “that” decision to put mama cat to sleep.I am going to the Brevard Humane Society in Cocoa,FL.
They charge $30 to euthanize her,$50 if I want to watch.
I would love to have her cremated,but I do not have $175.
No negativity,please.I feel sick.-

Oh, did I tell you my girl has lost her hearing? She’s doing well, but I have to be more careful with her. -

Wonderful to hear. Be sure you mention Faithful Friends, and try to contact Crystal. She commented to your posts here. Do let us know what happens, Dianne. My cat has something like IBS (her is a progressive inflammatory disease) for which she takes antibiotics and steroids. I am hopeful for you both 🙂-

So I pretty much have figured out why mama cat has diarrhea.Before I moved,she was having the same issues.Her doctor said she has IBS.Which is treatable.So I am not going to end her life.I am going on Waggle to see if they can help me pay for necessary treatment for her IBS.I too have IBS and have the same issue as she has.

You say it beautifully. What a lucky girl she was, and you are, to have shared such a loving life together. It’s the only downside of falling in love with our pets – they are only “on loan” to us and the hole left when they die is so very deep. BUT – how wonderful were the happy times! Thank you for sharing your story with us, and please stay involved with our caring community. Others would love to hear your support if you like. Toni -
Ellie’s mom posted a new activity comment 5 years, 1 month ago
Toni thank you for your kind words. Ellie came to me from a family that could not keep her because she did not like the cats. I took her and said I would find her a good home well you know how that went she stole my heart and for the next 9 years she was my little girlfriend .
Sadly this past winter she became lethargic one day and could barely walk, when I took her to our vet it was discovered she had a mass on her spleen. Being that Ellie was now 11 years old we decided no surgery but my vet recommended a Chinese supplement and my Ellie had another 4 months of a good life.
On May 12 she was fine eating, barking talking to me like she always did and the next morning she was pretty much unresponsive. She could barely walk so I spoke to my vet and after examining her we made the decision to let her go. I held her and loved her and she kept those sweet eyes on me the whole time. I miss her terribly but I know I was really blessed to have her in my life❤️-

Oh what a sweet face. Her eyes speak volumes. I can see why you miss her, and so very sorry for your parting. How did you meet? How long were you together? May I ask what happened? The decision to provide a peaceful passing is such a kind, generous and loving thing to do. It’s devastating for us, but you made it with Ellie’s best interest in mind and heart. Please let us know more about your life with Ellie, and know we understand, care, and are here for you.-

Dianne, you are in a very tough, sad spot. We always want to do what’s best for our beloved pets and it’s often hard to know what that is. Fiscal and physical constraints add a lot of challenge to that. Only you and George will decide, but may I again suggest you respond to Crystal at http://www.Waggle.org and see how, and if, they can help you? And Pet Loss at Home can have a vet come to you if it’s time to let George peacefully pass. https://petlossathome.com/
I know I am not alone in being concerned for you both, and wishing you the best in a sad situation. Let us know…. -

I do not want to have her put down because I am actually thinking she may have worms.She is eating,and I am continuing the Pedialyte,not a lot,but every 2 hours.I love her to death,if I can prolong her life, I will.But if the vet says otherwise,then I will take it from there.I have never seen her scoot her rump on the floor,but I am thinking her issue may be controllable.
