Tiger survived the night and he drank some water and peed in the litter box, but he's very weak. I don't know how

[Walleye]

How much longer he will last. I don’t know what to do.

[umroman]

1. I'm so sorry.

Has he seen a vet? Do you have any idea what’s going on with him? It’s so hard not knowing how to help.

[Walleye]

5. I'm pretty sure he has some kind of end-stage kidney disease

He’s never been to the vet, except when he was trapped, neutered, and released as a kitten.

[sinkingfeeling]

2. What did vet say?

[Walleye]

3. They said they wouldn't come out for euthanasia on a feral cat

[niyad]

7. Did they explain why?

[Walleye]

8. No

[SheltieLover]

26. Did you tell them he is in your home currently?

Maybe they think they would have to chase him outside.

Please call them back.

[niyad]

6. My dear friend, my heart is breaking for you and your Tiger. What I

can suggest is that you tell him that you love him, and that it is okay for him to go. He is trying to hang on for your sake, so you need to give him permission to leave his body. I know this is so very hard for both of you. Holding you both in love and light, with vibes for best possible outcome.

[Walleye]

9. Thank you, he knows he's in trouble and he looks at me like I can do something about it

It really is very hard

[SheltieLover]

10. I agree with Niyad.

Tell him it's ok to go & that you love him & you will see him on the other side when your time comes.

I'm so sorry for you & Tiger.

Healing vibes on the way to both of you.

[Walleye]

11. Thank you, I feel so impotent

[SheltieLover]

16. You love Tiger & he loves you. Many things are beyond our control.

Hold onto the feeling of love you have for him.

[SheltieLover]

12. Can you call vet & ask for urgent help for him?

When cats don't eat for a few days, they often develop fatty liver disease. This cannot be pleasant for him.

You will both be in my thoughts today.

[Walleye]

18. There is an urgent care vet not too far away. I may do that.

[GPV]

21. Please do that. My greatest regrets have been animals I let suffer too long.

[SheltieLover]

22. Please do!!!

Sending you and Tiger loads of love and healing vibes.

Please keep us posted.

[JMCKUSICK]

13. If he is weak enough, can you bring him to a vet?

If there aren't any alternatives, please go through this with him. Be at his side just like you figuratively have been all these amazing sixteen years.

Please be proud of him, as that has to be some kind of record for a feral cat.

In my mind he is a Super Hero, he must have had special powers to survive that long, maybe taking the time to fill in his story with stories of imagined conquests, of secret romances, alliances against the big bad monsters hunting him, a true spie whose cover was never blown.

What a great cat!!

I wrote this in love and with tears that share your fears and pain Walleye.

God Speed Walleye, as sometimes that time slowing down that I wrote of this morning makes things more agonizing too.

We're with you my friend.

[Walleye]

17. Thank you so much, sympathy helps. It's such a lonely time

[SheltieLover]

23. Even though you might feel alone, we all stand with you, Walleye.

If I were near you geographically, I would stand beside you through this, as I'm sure many here would.

Please feel free to lean as hard as you need to on us. We are here for you.

[SheltieLover]

24. Yes! Well said, John!

Tiger is a Super Hero!

[brer cat]

14. I'm so sorry, walleye. It is awful to watch

a friend go down and not be able to help. Just know that your presence comforts Tiger; tell him you love him and he will feel it in your voice.

My thoughts will be with you and Tiger today.

[Walleye]

15. Thank you so much

[Clouds Passing]

19. ☹️

[Walleye]

20. Thank you. This is one of the toughest things to live through.

[SheltieLover]

25. It is the single most horrible thing to live through, IMO.

We are with you in spirit, Walleye.

[Ziggy Beans]

27. It's tough, but don't prolong his pain and discomfort for yourself

Do the right thing no matter how hard. I've had to do it many times

[The Madcap]

28. Feline kidney disease is a horrible thing.

We had a cat that died from it. We had set up an appointment for euthanasia, but it was about three days out. She deteriorated badly in those three days but was still alive when we got to the vet. She passed right as the injection was made. It was very peaceful due to how weak she was.

I still miss that cat. She lived a good life while she was with us.

[SuzyandPuffpuff]

29. Relieve his suffering

Don't keep him going for yourself. He needs to go to sleep. I'm so sorry

[3catwoman3]

30. So many here holding both you and Tiger in our hearts.
