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 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.
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. ❤🐈❤🐕❤👩🦳
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.
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.
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.
@@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. Rose S.
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.
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.
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.....
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.
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 !
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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! 💞
You're my hero for being there, seeing him, and wanting and being able to go the distance for him to give him what he wanted and so deserved. Bless you always for your wonderful heart. I love you 💕🐾
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 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.
You are a beautiful person with a beautiful soul and THANK YOU for rescuing Mr Whiskers and opening your house and heart to him. We rescue animals and know how rewarding it is. When taking on one who has a diagnosis it is especially hard, we took in one that had same disease….being able to give them love and letting them know how special they are in the time they have left is the greatest gift you can give them. The universe has a way of giving back to those who have such a caring compassionate soul, like yours…may you be given all you’ve given to these animals and more. #grateful4you
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.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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.
😢 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 🖤
What a beautiful story. I wish I had the means to take on senior kitties like this. So glad this lady does this. Mr. Whiskers will be there for you on the other side. RIP.
Thank you for all the love you gave this cat, I would do the same, I cried so hard because I love cats, sorry he had to stay in shelter with all issues he suffered, glad that you took him in, thank you again❤
This made me cry. I can't imagine giving up a cat who was 17 years old just because he had a disease. What must the cat think? What did I do wrong? Why am I here? Where are my humans? Given that there are vaccines to prevent these diseases it is so sad that people don't bother to get their animals vaccinated and spay/neutered. RIP Mr. Whiskers. And thank you to this young lady who saved you from loneliness in your last days.
Maybe it was someone who couldn't afford the expensive vet bills, or recently lost their job or home. Not all people who bring their pet to a shelter are cruel unloving people. The only people for sure are unloving people are those that abandon their pets, hoard, pet mills and/or are rescue by the pet police.
Who could surrender a 17 year old cat? Poor kitty must have been so scared to leave everything and everyone he knew! Thank goodness to the lady who took him home.
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.
@@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.
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
Bless u for adopting Mr. Whiskers!! You gave him the best 5 months! It is sad that he only had 5 months with you, and it had to be very difficult when he passed. You can tell he loved you very deeply, and was grateful that you adopted him. What a sweet kitty. I'm very happy he knew live and comfort till the end. Bless you again.
Thank you so much for giving Mr whiskers a loving home. He looked a lot happier with you, than in the shelter alone. Helping other living beings like this definitely adds meaning to one's Life.❤
i work in a large animal shelter & any type of domestic set up or home is better than shelter life. Shelter life is absolutely abysmal. Very stressful, limited affection, long periods without human contact. We do our best but we are always understaffed & have approx 2,500 dogs & 3,000 cats & kittens. It;s simply a terrible existence. It takes a certain type of person to keep turning up day after day & picking up poop everyday. Please keep this in mind if you come to any shelter & please consider the older animals. I promise you you will have a stronger bond with them & somehow they know they are being saved. Keep our furry friends safe & happy. Remember Dog spelt backwards is GOD.
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.
I've said it before about other videos. Every one of your furbabies that you keep are yours forever. They go where we go, into a beautiful place with green grass, flowers of all colors, crystal clear water, shade from the trees, just beautiful. Saw one of my horses and one kitty there. I was told that every animal I keep and don't sell or give away are mine forever. If they are strayed, stolen, taken, they are still ours. I was told ALL my furbabies are there and young again. They are waiting for me when I go beyond the veil. They play, run, have fun and are taken good care of. When we pass, they are told and they come running to us and there are 💋 and ❤️ as they remember us. Never will we part, but be together forever and no more goodbyes. Just like FAMILIES CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVER, SO ARE THE FURBABIES WITH US FOREVER.I just saw 2 but they were full grown but young again. I have seen my mother, my sister, and my uncle.Your MR. WHISKERS will remember you. He belongs to you FOREVER. There are millions upon millions of animals that no one wanted and you can have many more.
You are such a wonderful lady and i crued watching this. Thank you foe loving Mr. Whiskers and giving those last loving memories before he died. ❤❤❤ God bless you!
So grateful that Mr Whiskers had a loving home for his last months. Every animal deserves love and care for their whole life. It's heartbreaking as their human carers to have to say goodbye, but we cherish the happy moments we share with our fur-friends.
As sad as his situation was, it's nice to hear her empathy and lack of judgement, just focused on this lovely old ginger cat and saving other FIV/FeLV cats as companions. So sorry to hear that Mr. Whiskers passed away. Since he was only given weeks to live at the shelter, though, it's pleasing to know that he went on to enjoy his last five months of life in a happy, loving home.💕🐈🌈
People like us, who adopt the elderly, are brave and strong. To love in the face of loss is an ability anyone can work to achieve. And this woman can teach us.
This is such a beautiful story. You gave Mr. Whiskers five months of amazing kitty love ❤. He had new friends, went for walks which he never would have been able to have. Thank you for giving him that.❤❤❤❤
You are an amazing and wonderful woman with an enormous heart ❤❤ Thank you a million times over for helping him. When it’s my 19 yo boy’s time, I’m going to adopt a couple of cats who are overlooked - it’s so important that they have a chance for love and a real home. Thanks again!
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 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.
I am glad Mr whiskers found a loving home for his last months and also a companion kitty. Bless this woman who does everything she can to help these pets who would probably never find a loving home otherwise.
Awwwww! Mr Whiskers!! 💜 When I adopted my last cat he was a big ginger boy of about 8 or 10 and he'd been in the shelter for more than six months. He was the best and lived for ten years. I miss him still. Adopting older cats is truly a joy and a privilege 😻
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.
@@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. 😺😸
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.
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 💯

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.

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.

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.

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.

You are a beautiful person with a beautiful soul and THANK YOU for rescuing Mr Whiskers and opening your house and heart to him. We rescue animals and know how rewarding it is. When taking on one who has a diagnosis it is especially hard, we took in one that had same disease….being able to give them love and letting them know how special they are in the time they have left is the greatest gift you can give them. The universe has a way of giving back to those who have such a caring compassionate soul, like yours…may you be given all you’ve given to these animals and more. #grateful4you
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.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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.
😢 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 🖤
What a beautiful boy you are Mr Whiskers 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful story. I wish I had the means to take on senior kitties like this. So glad this lady does this. Mr. Whiskers will be there for you on the other side. RIP.
Thank you for all the love you gave this cat, I would do the same, I cried so hard because I love cats, sorry he had to stay in shelter with all issues he suffered, glad that you took him in, thank you again❤
This made me cry. I can't imagine giving up a cat who was 17 years old just because he had a disease. What must the cat think? What did I do wrong? Why am I here? Where are my humans? Given that there are vaccines to prevent these diseases it is so sad that people don't bother to get their animals vaccinated and spay/neutered. RIP Mr. Whiskers. And thank you to this young lady who saved you from loneliness in your last days.
You don't know the history of this cat and it's former owner(s). It's easy to think they must have been douchebags.
@@Daan_KnobboutWell, he was in a shelter, so that tells you they either couldn't afford the med's or they ARE douchebags.
The cat doesn’t think anything because animals brains don’t work like ours I wish you clowns would understand that
@mikeyb6021 sweetie...it appears your brain functions below the average person. You also lack empathy. It must be hard for you.
Maybe it was someone who couldn't afford the expensive vet bills, or recently lost their job or home. Not all people who bring their pet to a shelter are cruel unloving people.
The only people for sure are unloving people are those that abandon their pets, hoard, pet mills and/or are rescue by the pet police.
You are a saint. Thank you for helping the hopeless critters. What a sweetie, you and kitty.
Thank you for having the great compassion to take this wonderful guy. You gave him 5 months of love, happiness and great care. You're the best.
Who could surrender a 17 year old cat? Poor kitty must have been so scared to leave everything and everyone he knew! Thank goodness to the lady who took him home.
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.
I love how he tapped your leg when he wanted his food. Oh, RIP sweet Mr. Whiskers 🌈 You gave him exactly what he needed.
Such a selfless act to give gorgeous Mr Whiskers those happy last few months. Thank you ❤
He enjoyed his last months with you and his playmate. Thank you for giving him love, companionship and a place to just be.
You have the biggest heart in the world for giving these ill kitties a second chance. You are my hero. ❤
I am happy and crying at the same time. Thank you for taking him when you did.
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
Bless u for adopting Mr. Whiskers!! You gave him the best 5 months! It is sad that he only had 5 months with you, and it had to be very difficult when he passed. You can tell he loved you very deeply, and was grateful that you adopted him. What a sweet kitty. I'm very happy he knew live and comfort till the end. Bless you again.
She's an angel, giving great last weeks/months to these 'invisible' ones!!
Thank you so much for giving Mr whiskers a loving home. He looked a lot happier with you, than in the shelter alone. Helping other living beings like this definitely adds meaning to one's Life.❤
i work in a large animal shelter & any type of domestic set up or home is better than shelter life. Shelter life is absolutely abysmal. Very stressful, limited affection, long periods without human contact. We do our best but we are always understaffed & have approx 2,500 dogs & 3,000 cats & kittens. It;s simply a terrible existence. It takes a certain type of person to keep turning up day after day & picking up poop everyday. Please keep this in mind if you come to any shelter & please consider the older animals. I promise you you will have a stronger bond with them & somehow they know they are being saved. Keep our furry friends safe & happy. Remember Dog spelt backwards is GOD.
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.
That women is an angel 😇 May god be by her side always. Bless her health and prosperity to support the fur babies❤❤❤
Bless this lady for being a hospice worker!!!!!!!!
I've said it before about other videos. Every one of your furbabies that you keep are yours forever. They go where we go, into a beautiful place with green grass, flowers of all colors, crystal clear water, shade from the trees, just beautiful. Saw one of my horses and one kitty there. I was told that every animal I keep and don't sell or give away are mine forever. If they are strayed, stolen, taken, they are still ours. I was told ALL my furbabies are there and young again. They are waiting for me when I go beyond the veil. They play, run, have fun and are taken good care of. When we pass, they are told and they come running to us and there are 💋 and ❤️ as they remember us. Never will we part, but be together forever and no more goodbyes. Just like FAMILIES CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVER, SO ARE THE FURBABIES WITH US FOREVER.I just saw 2 but they were full grown but young again. I have seen my mother, my sister, and my uncle.Your MR. WHISKERS will remember you. He belongs to you FOREVER. There are millions upon millions of animals that no one wanted and you can have many more.
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.
So absolutely wonderful that u sacrificed yourself to give this magnificent cat a happy loving end of life! So heartwarming! U r an angel!
What a fabulous woman and gorgeous cat! She is doing great work 💖 🐈
You are such a wonderful lady and i crued watching this. Thank you foe loving Mr. Whiskers and giving those last loving memories before he died. ❤❤❤ God bless you!
Thank you for giving him so much love and care at the end of his life. You made him feel important.❤
I am so happy that you gave him probably the best 5 months of his life! You did such a good thing! God bless you!
So grateful that Mr Whiskers had a loving home for his last months. Every animal deserves love and care for their whole life. It's heartbreaking as their human carers to have to say goodbye, but we cherish the happy moments we share with our fur-friends.
You made his last days really worth living. Full of love and companionship and warmth and beauty.
5 wonderful months, til the end of his life !! 🥲🙏🐈🌈
Thank you for giving him unconditional love. You're the best!
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.
God bless you for what you did and do. That takes such a strong and loving person.❤❤❤❤❤May be continually blessed. Mr. Whiskers was lucky to have you.
As sad as his situation was, it's nice to hear her empathy and lack of judgement, just focused on this lovely old ginger cat and saving other FIV/FeLV cats as companions. So sorry to hear that Mr. Whiskers passed away. Since he was only given weeks to live at the shelter, though, it's pleasing to know that he went on to enjoy his last five months of life in a happy, loving home.💕🐈🌈
That was a very selfless and wonderful thing to do. You gave him love and warmth when he needed it most. 👏👏👏👏💞💞💞
Thank you for adopting him and other cats. Of course I cried. Rest in peace sweet Mr. Whiskers ❤
People like us, who adopt the elderly, are brave and strong. To love in the face of loss is an ability anyone can work to achieve. And this woman can teach us.
This is such a beautiful story. You gave Mr. Whiskers five months of amazing kitty love ❤. He had new friends, went for walks which he never would have been able to have.
Thank you for giving him that.❤❤❤❤
You are an amazing and wonderful woman with an enormous heart ❤❤ Thank you a million times over for helping him. When it’s my 19 yo boy’s time, I’m going to adopt a couple of cats who are overlooked - it’s so important that they have a chance for love and a real home. Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing what little time he had with you. It takes special people ( What I call Angels) to take care of ill babies.❤❤❤
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 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.
I am glad Mr whiskers found a loving home for his last months and also a companion kitty. Bless this woman who does everything she can to help these pets who would probably never find a loving home otherwise.
You’re a wonderful person and you gave this precious cat the love he DESERVED, and so needed.God bless you.
Awwwww! Mr Whiskers!! 💜
When I adopted my last cat he was a big ginger boy of about 8 or 10 and he'd been in the shelter for more than six months. He was the best and lived for ten years. I miss him still. Adopting older cats is truly a joy and a privilege 😻
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.
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.
