💔 A sad update on our sweet CVS boy…
For everyone who followed his story last weekend, I wish I had a happier update.
When we pulled him from that CVS parking lot, he was severely emaciated and incredibly sick — literally a walking skeleton. We knew we were taking on a tough one, but we wanted to give him a chance.
For the past week, we’ve done everything we could. Under our vet’s guidance, he received fluids every day and lots and lots of supportive care. His bloodwork, surprisingly, didn’t give us a clear reason for why he was so sick. Nothing really jumped out other than the possibility of FeLV.
For a few days, we saw the tiniest bit of improvement, and we really hoped maybe we were turning a corner.
Then Thursday came, and he started going downhill. He stopped eating completely.
Today, we made the decision to let him go. 💔
I’ve always believed euthanasia can be one of the greatest gifts we can give an animal when they’re suffering. As heartbreaking as that decision is, I would rather be a minute too early than a second too late. I never want one of our animals to suffer longer simply because I wasn’t ready to say goodbye.
And even though we couldn’t save him, I hope he knew he was loved.
He got a soft bed for the week, even though he protested the entire concept of being comfortable. 😂
He got a smorgasbord of every kind of food I could think of.
He got lots of chin scratches.
Lots of soft words.
Lots of people rooting for him.
And most importantly, he got to spend his last days warm, safe, and cared for.
He didn’t have to die alone in a CVS parking lot.
He got to know what it felt like to be someone’s boy, even if it was only for a week.
We like to think his journey across the Rainbow Bridge — and his suffering — was shorter than a CVS receipt. 🌈💔
Thank you to everyone who donated toward his first vet visit. You helped give this boy a chance, and you helped make his last week a whole lot better than the life he had been living.
We will need to cover his euthanasia and cremation, and I hate asking for help again. So I’m not really asking. ❤️ But if someone wants to help us bring him home one last time and have his ashes here with me, I would be incredibly grateful.
He deserves to finally be at rest.
And I want him to come home.
Rest easy, sweet boy. You were here. You were loved. And you mattered. ❤️🌈
