Rest in peace dear Mr Whiskers. What a lovely woman.
My adult son rescued a cat from a shelter who only had a few more months to live. Tom said the cat's last months didn't belong in a shelter and adopted him. He took the cat to the vet and got medical treatments. That was several years ago, and this cat is now healthy and ruling Tom's home, heart and the world. Hehe - it also chases dogs.
@Tenneseeana...
That is one of the most inspiring stories I've read in a long time.
Thank your son, and thank you for posting it❤

Sometimes Vets are wrong about how much time a cat or dog has. I was told by a Specialist my dog had at the most six months to live. She lived for another 2 yrs, 5 months. She had medication and she had an excellent quality of life. My Vet explained that he thought that she did not want to leave me - I had rescued her from an abusive home.
@@dina113eastAww that's so sweet. I'm so glad you rescued him. This is one case that I know you will see with and be with him in heaven❤.
@@rstrader2516 Yes those of us who love our dogs and cats will always be there for them and do everything we can for them.
@@dina113east Wow,
That is profound.
My Grandparents had a wonderful Christian marriage. They had raised 9 children, lived to see 21 grandchildren grow up. And had many great grandchildren.
They had raised me to age 9 in a wonderful loving spiritual home.
When I was 27, my grandma became very sick and was physically and I think the doctor felt she was ready to die. I flew to Indiana to say goodbye. So glad I did.
But she lived 8 more years. I think she didn't want to leave my Grandpa. It gave him more time with her.
Beautiful. She died at 90. He lived to 98 in a lovely retirement home.

He was able to be loved until his sunset. How wonderful for him and for Jess to give him that gift.

Thank you!!!!!
You gave him 5 months of love and care, He knew he was loved, i could tell by his expression,thank you for loving him 🙏😺
I'm thankful, every day, that loving people like this lady are still among us.
What a wonderful way to put it 👍🏻👌🏻🌟⭐️✨and I agree with your comment 💯
Yes, beautiful inside and out
Yes, there's a special circle in Heaven for people like this.

God sent Mr Whiskers an Angel and gave him the best 5 months of his life 🙏
What a lovely person. Mr. Whiskers lived a lifetime in those five months. You even got him playmates. You are a gift!
This beautiful animal got to spend the last few months of his life in a dignified and loving manner. He passed surrounded by affection and care. It is a wonderful story. Thanks for making this old boy's last few months worth living.
Thank you for giving this beloved 4-legged love and dignity.❤️✝️ RIP Mr. Whiskers 🙏🐱💔🌈
Don't know if the woman that saved Mr. Whiskers will read this or not, but thank you for saving the guy & giving him a dignified & loving ending. At the end of the day, that is what he will remember when he goes to where cats go after their time on this earth is over. Bless you.
Well said.
Agreed ❤️❤️
💯💯💯 she is absolute angel…
Well said! ❤
Rainbow Bridge, Mr. Whiskers will be waiting there.
As a pet owner myself I was overwhelmed with joy to know there are still some beautiful people in this world.....Mr. Whiskers may be gone but his soul will be a part of you forever....Thank-you.....
Beautifully put
Well I didn't want to cry today... yet here I am.
RIP Mr Whiskers. I'm glad an angel came along to give you a wonderful loving few more months back in a home.
Me too😢
❤
Tears running down my face. Happy for all involved.😢😊
Me too, crying, and I already am having sinus issues with the season yeesh
You are so rite... There also protective angels for dogs and cats and all the creature of GOD.
There’s something beautiful about adopting an older pet. They appreciate things so much. Thank u for loving this boy ❤
I agree. I have been adopting older cats for many years now and it has brought me so much joy.
Lovely comment of urs ! Amen ! May He rest there in peace and runs back to his human angels ones again up there ..🙏 Lord send this amazing woman for Him
@@ChrisJohnston-z7u thank you for sharing your love with them!
@@sisid6295 thank you and amen ♥️
@@Tru3_Detective awwwww ♥️♥️♥️♥️
He had a good end of life. And was clearly very grateful.
Thank you so very much for giving Sweet Mr. Whisker so much love 🙏🏼❤️ So sorry for your loss 😔
No animal should be in a shelter at 17. Jessica, thank you for making his last months being loved and cared for.
I adopted a cat ( siamese) at 10 yrs old, and a cat I have now at 12 yrs of age
I am glad she adopted him but I wish he would have lived longer. I would have been heartbroken 😭💔.
Totally agree with you.
No furry family member should be in a shelter or on the street in their golden years.
@@billt3561yeah yeah all lives matter
This woman is a saint! What she does for these cats is beyond compassion!
A female can't be a saint
This woman gets it. We need to clone her a million times! On behalf of all pet lovers ; thank you
i think we need to clone her about 7.8 billion, the world needs it.
Wow, you’re an Angel. Your let your heart break in order to show cats they’re loved in their final days. That’s so beautiful and pure
I adopted a senior cat named Garth who was brought in at Christmas, to the SPCA in really rough shape. He'd had emergency surgery to remove his eye. I adopted him because he was senior at 10+ years maybe a little broken to look at and most people would pass him by and not adopt him so I did. He was such a chill cat and I thought he'd be a great emotional support cat for my high strung hot mess doggo who'd been abused in his last home. He was a perfect fit, they got a long great. I'd catch them snuggling and cleaning each other. When I took Garth to MY vet I was shocked to learn he had kidney failure. Not sure how this was missed with SPCA vet but it was what it was. His kidney failure was so advanced they gave him a year. 9 months is what we got. Both the doggo and I miss him... he had such great cat MOJO. When I brought him home from SPCA he spent an hour acclimating before he knocked down the baby gate separating him and the puppers and just swaggered in like He'd had always been there.
I don't regret adopting him. I don't regret the money I spent on him medically. My only regret is I couldn't give him more time living his best life.
Senior animals with health issues or missing parts are often overlooked. Don't dismiss them, adopt them. They might just be the best thing you've ever done not just for their life... but for yours.
❤🐈❤🐕❤👩🦳
Thanks for that lovely post.
You're an angel. Thank you.
"... maybe a little broken to look at." That really moved me.❤
You are an angel. I loved your story and the fact you did.whatever it takes to help Garth …if you haven’t loved a cat or dog you haven’t lived…
One day I hope to have a home of my own to welcome senior, health issues, and/or disabled cats. I currently live with my parents and 16 cats and one cat-loving dog. One cat is FeLV positive, one has digestive issues, two have chronic sinus infections, one has human anxiety issues (even though he was born and raised in our house), and two have asthma. Mom’s a retired nurse, so as much she complains about their experiments with gravity and the tensile toughness of furniture fabrics, I think she enjoys “nursing” them. All, but three of them, came in the house as feral kittens. Eleven of those kittens were sickly, while the asthmatic two lost their mom just as she was weaning them. She died protecting them from a feral pack of dogs. The only cat to come in as an adult was a feral kitten that survived two different packs of dogs attacking our feral cat colony. As she warmed up to mom (the food lady), mom noticed she had a respiratory infection. Mom took her to the vet only to find out she was pregnant. She had three kittens, but one only lived a couple days. Those two kittens have never known life outside the house. Their momma is the only adult cat we’ve rescued.
Thank God 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 for all the wonderful, kind-hearted people.
That made me cry a little. His last few months were the best he'd ever had.
Lucky guy got to spend his final days among people who loved him. Would that we were all so lucky. ❤
I've adopted 2 senior cats and they're the best. The lack of time you have with them is more than made up for by the sheer love and affection you get from them. Knowing you made their final years their best is so rewarding.
Special lady you made his last days special for him he was loved 💗
People like this lady is why the society is still surviving despite all the terrible things happening. Thank you so much for saving Mr Whiskers and thank you for existing.
This is probably the best statement I have ever read. Imagine what society would be if everybody was like this woman.
Yes. Best comment ever.
i often think that if a colony was formed by all the people who watched this and had similar passions and perhaps shed at least a tiny tear-what an awesome group that would be !
There’s always good people out there like this woman. Never forget that.
So thankful that you cherished Mr. Whiskers for those 5 months!! God bless you😢😢😢
Thank you so much 🙏💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛😺🐈🐈🌍🌏🌎👍
He has all the sunshine he could ever hope for,precious boy
Love never ends.He was blessed to have you as his human mom.
Awww, 5 love filled months. Very sweet
I was given an ill elderly orange cat by a shelter, took him to the vet, gave him medicine cleaned him and removed all his fleas, He had a color which said he was a female named "Trouble". When he became well, my vet said he was over 15 years old and a male Maine Coon Cat. He lived 10 years with me and was the most loving, smart cat. I still miss him. He passed away from kidney failure.
Thank for caring for "Trouble". Looks like she repaid you with love.
We lost our rescue cat cooper recently he was a very special part of our family ❤
Rip sweet baby, thank u for loving Trouble
Amazing what love and kindness can do 💕💙💜🙏🙏🙏🙏for all🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@jtiger1062🐱💜💙💕🙏🙏🙏
What a wonderful woman. It is all about love.
The gentle pat, pats on her let when he’s hungry is so adorable. Bless you Mr. Whisker’s 😊.
What a sweet cat. I’m so glad he was treasured at the end of his life.
Wow what an angel-she basicly gave him palliative care. God bless this woman.
That was a very selfless and wonderful thing to do. You gave him love and warmth when he needed it most. 👏👏👏👏💞💞💞
Thank you for your kindness!❤
#MrWhiskers!🙏
What a beautiful boy you are Mr Whiskers 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
5 wonderful months, til the end of his life !! 🥲🙏🐈🌈
Oh my god. This is so sweet. I am so glad he was rescued and got to live his last few months with good healthcare, food, comfort, and lots of love. He was obviously very grateful. People like this who are willing to put in so much time, effort, and money to comfort an old, dying animal are just the best people in the world.
What a brave person the adopter of Mr Whiskers was, she willing to take on a lot of pain to give much needed love. All honour
I’m a big baby, so I appreciate the people who can do this
Good job making the old dude's last few months the best. I'm sure he was grateful.
I’m not crying, you’re crying. This story is so beautiful and heartwarming. It makes my day to know a senior cat with health problems was living his best life, safe, loved and properly cared for at the end of journey.
This makes me cry but I’m so glad she was a kind person and rescued Mr Whiskers. He had love at the end of his life.
A few years ago we came across a scruffy old stray wandering around begging for food. We had to take him in. The vet estimated he was about 16 and in bad health, and we only had him - we called him Archie - for a little under three weeks. It was so sad that we could only have his company for a short time, but we gave him a warm and dry house, with all the food and water he wanted, and with pets and love and company, in his final days. So the pain we felt was absolutely worth it.
Thank you for giving Mr Whiskers the happy final chapter to his life which he deserved
The gentle way he petted your leg to ask for his breakfast.. What a lovely soul Mr Whiskers was. Beautiful and smart. Thank you for giving him the best life possible. Rest in peace sweet Mr Whiskers
I love them too. I have 2.Best cats ever!!
Bless you for giving him love to the end.
I adopted an old Ginger Tom cat who had stomach cancer, wasn’t expected to live for very long. I just wanted to give him the best life I could. I had him for over 18 months! Broke my heart when the tumour became so big he could no longer eat and I had to say goodbye.
What a delightful chap Mr Whiskers was. Thank you for giving him the love and care he deserved during his final months.
The world needs more people like this lady. I don't know if she will ever see this, but thank you so much for giving Mr. Whiskers a beautiful final chapter to his life's book. I adopted the oldest cat my local shelter had. She was a sickly 15 year old cat that had been owner surrendered. I named her Hope and she gave me four of the best years of my life. I'd like to think that Hope and Mr. Whiskers are sharing a sunbeam on the other side of the bridge. Peace to all who take the time to read my comment.
What a lovely and heartworming comment....❤
Heartwarming...😊
This is such a sweet sentiment.❤
Hope to meet Hope, Whiskers, and my recently passed 18 year old Miette in Heaven! God bless you and all who adopt older cats. You won't be sorry! They give so much love and seem so grateful for being rescued.
Who's peeling onions in these comments? Beautifully put.
I have had many rescued animals, gave them the life that they deserved and yes, I still miss them all. This is to all the people who adopt older shelter animals, it takes a special person to do that, and my heart goes out that many more will be adopted.
Awww....what a great lady and an adorable cat. RIP Mr. Whiskers. You will be missed. ❤
Awwww beautiful he is little angel God bless him ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
He’s so sweet. Thank you for taking him home.❤
My deep, heart felt compassion. You are right to cherish the time you've had together with Mr Whiskers, although that doesn't diminish the loss you may feel. Lots of love! 💞
Thank you, Jessica, for adopting Mr. Whiskers. He was so pretty. You made his last days so wonderful.
I realize my post is two years late but thank you for the love,kindness,and respect you showered Mr. Whiskers with during your five months together. It takes a different kind of strength to adopt a terminally ill,elderly animal and give him the best golden moments you physically and financially could;the fact you took in other terminally ill cats so Mr. Whiskers had companions during his sundown time is a testament to your compassion and love for him and the others you adopted. Make sure you look after your own mental and physical health as you care for these worthy animals and know that Mr. Whiskers carried a ginormous piece of your heart with him when he crossed the Rainbow Bridge and proudly showed it off to everyone in paradise. Gentle hugs for you and all who care for the terminally ill and elder animals. Stay safe and be well.
Bless this lady for being a hospice worker!!!!!!!!
So absolutely wonderful that u sacrificed yourself to give this magnificent cat a happy loving end of life! So heartwarming! U r an angel!
I used to enjoy giving palliative EOL care for cats. It was hard but SO worth it. Hopefully one day I can do that again.
We should all be so compassionate and loving. ♥
Thank you for giving him a family and home for the remainder of his life. 💕
So happy he got to be with you for his final days !!! What a sweetie he was !!!
*As l understand it life is not a gift; it is a loan. It's just a matter of time before we are called back home.*
We have what we have, while we have it and we should make the most of it.
*This sweet lady gave Mr. WHISKERS so much joy in such a short time. It isn't about the joy we lose. It's about the joy we shared and the memories we get to keep.*
He had the best 5 months of his life because of your care.
He knew love and his spirit lives on
😢 so sorry you lost mr whiskers, may he rest in peace 🙏 bless you for giving him, 5 happy months, before he went across the rainbow bridge. cracking good video thanks for sharing 🖤
God Bless you for giving Mr. Whiskers the final months of his life the great care, love and assurances of knowing that he's loved and his life matters. The world needs more loving and caring people as yourself to open your home and hearts to these beautiful animals.
What a beautiful story. A really happy ending. Poor little man.
So glad you gave him a loving home and his last months were happy and comfy.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your kindness and love 🐾.
She's an angel, giving great last weeks/months to these 'invisible' ones!!
If there are angels on earth, you certainly are one. Thank you for caring for this very special Mr. Whiskers. xo
This lady is amazing.
I am happy and crying at the same time. Thank you for taking him when you did.
Mr. Whiskers ❤😺❤️😺❤️😺❤️😺❤️😺❤️😺
5 Months with someone who loved him and gave him what a cage in a shelter could not provide.
🤗😺🤗😺🤗😺🤗😺🤗😺🤗😺🤗😺🤗😺🤗😺
The best 5 months! So glad he found you!
I have no idea why someone would abandon their cat. It's like leaving a child somewhere . This woman is wonderful.
I know one reason why a person might give up their cats to a rescue group, having their health (me the human, cats were fine) crash long term because of autoimmune disease, endocrine disease, and mitochondrial disease, and neurological autoimmune disease, and as a result of all that becoming homeless like happened to me in the 1990s.
@@scottfw7169 That's a damn good reason. Hope you're ok now.
@@scc6454 Thanks mate. Am not exactly okay, working days are well done and over with and I've been on disability for something like 16 years now. But on the up side, the two orange tabby rescue fellows sharing my home turn 15 and 14 this year and the elder one has been mine since juvenile age and the younger one since kitten age. Elder one is disabled himself after getting hit on a rural highway, which led to his rescue. Unknown whether misshapen back foot is damage or birth defect. But he still chases me and younger one and jumps on furniture and bed. sometimes the two boys snuggle, sometimes they squabble, all the time they add much to life and home. 😺😸
People leave their children all the time, it isn't unusual at all. There are good people however who make up for the mess left by others
Sometimes escalating costs are a factor. People can no longer afford to feed more than one or two.
Thank you for giving him a happy last 5 months rather than passing away in a shelter. May your acts of kindness be returned to you a thousandfold. ❤
Thank you for rescuing this dear cat. My cat was with me for 17 years before she died :)
That was a kind and compassionate act. You gave him peace and dignity. Im thankful there are people like you in this world.
I’m surprised that the shelter housed him with the other cats considering he had felv and it being very contagious.
That's the thing. Most people adopt the cutest. Never seniors. I adopted a senior and have never been happier
Please remember these lessons of love and caring when you see elderly people homeless in the street and/or alone. No animal or human should grow old like that.
You made his last days really worth living. Full of love and companionship and warmth and beauty.
My goodness what a beautiful face he had. I love those long nosed angular faced cats. Ty for opening ur heart to these tougher cases-can’t be easy to get attached over and over knowing these guys may not make it so long
So emotional, heartwarming and beautiful. I'm glad he had that love he desperately needed for his final few months ❤
What a fabulous woman and gorgeous cat! She is doing great work 💖 🐈
That women is an angel 😇 May god be by her side always. Bless her health and prosperity to support the fur babies❤❤❤
Rescuers are Angels 👼🏽
Wow, what a supper nice women, she opens her home and her heart to these very special cats giving them a place they so desperately need. I hope good things await her for the compassion she shares.
Such a selfless act to give gorgeous Mr Whiskers those happy last few months. Thank you ❤
So wonderful to see these cats left to live & not killed by some shelters for their ailments so good people can find them like this and hive them a good life.
I adopted a senior cat too so I can give him a good home for the rest of his days. He's spoiled but knows he's safe and loved.
What a lovely last few months Mr. Whiskers had with that wonderful lady.
❤❤❤wonderful… this was the right move…
all animals deserves all the love and care especially stray animals.be kind to animals.❤❤❤
I've had three very elderly cats now who lived to 19, 20, and 21. They become so sweet and loving in their old age. The great reward of taking good care of your cat is that you get to hang out with an elderly cat. They're special.
What was their diet? I have now two kittens and one ginger senior cat I want them to live the longest.
@@mischapiru9514 The most important thing to remember is that it's about much more than diet. Keeping your cats indoors is number one. That can include a catio and leashed walks, but never let them roam free. (Getting them spayed and neutered is absolutely vital, and reduces their desire to roam.) Their life expectancy if they're outdoor cats is only 2 - 5 years! The outside world is full of too many dangers: cars, predators, fights with other cats, illness, infection, etc. Next, always give them regular vet checkups and shots. Cats seldom tell you they're sick until it's too late. Once they're seniors, do pay for regular blood work during their checkups. If you can afford to do it while they're younger too, go for it. This will alert you to any health problems, many of which can be successfully treated or managed, but only if they're caught in time. So, yes, give them a good, healthy diet (I'm hearing that wet is best, no filler, etc), but follow these other tips and you're more likely to have happy old cats.
I had 3 cats since they were kittens, all about 2 years apart. They lived till 21, 17 and 16. My vet said I had the fountain of youth at my house, lol. Ferris was the last, passing at 17, 2 yrs ago. I know have a senior Ginger, Penny, who is 10 and a rescue, Bella, who is now 5. She had to fend for herself, outdoors, after owners moved from condo and just left her outside! Manager left food for her outside. She was finally rescued with her 2nd litter of kittens after 2 yrs. I got her 2 yrs ago and now at 5 yrs she developed asthma. 😢. I give her inhaler twice a day. I love them both. 💕💕
@@gerbs747 Living like that is really hard on a cat (or on any being). I'm glad you've given her a home. When we adopted our two kittens, the rescue group said, "We wish we could find homes like yours for all of our cats." One of my cats (both five) has asthma. It acts up when we get forest fire smoke in the city, which happens pretty much every summer now.
Got tears in my eyes for what you did to him. Not to be in a cage for the rest of his days but to be cared for and loved. Thank you lovely soul ❤
