Sadly, I had to let go of my buddy this evening. I have never made a more difficult decision in my entire life. I have updated the total to reflect vet bills, euthanasia and additional costs associated with his death. We buried him in the back yard near a willow tree that we planted this year. I cried into his fur one last time and thanked him for all the love and support he has provided me through these past 18 years. I am incredibly heart broken. Please keep us in your prayers.
Maks is my 18 year old Maine Coon. I have had him almost half my life. He has been having some issues that have requires vet bills... normally, I would euthanize an animal at rhis point, but this is something he can overcome and he is otherwise healthy and I will admit I am very attached.
I would normally pay for this myself and never ask for help, but I lost my job of 10 years last week which is almost half of our household income and we just recently took on a car payment and a new member of the household.
We have already spent $700 at the vet to treat this (he was severely constipated) and I am going to have to take him back on Monday.
If you have enjoyed my cat postings or simply want to help, please consider sending a few dollars. Every small amount helps in this uncertain time for our family.
