Dragon

We had a rather sad weekend. Almost two years ago we gave a cat to someone. It was a really beautiful Siamese tom, we had named Dragon. We have cats show up here all the time. They don't seem to belong to anyone and they are always half starved and we feed them. And try to find homes for them. We gave Dragon to a nice family and they were supposed to keep him inside and have him neutered-they didn't and they gave him back to us about a month or so ago. He was really thin and he became so sick that we finally took him to the vet, only to find out that he had KittyAids. His kidneys and liver were failing and he was in so much pain that we had to put him to sleep. The Vet said he didn't last for more than a minute or two, he was already so far gone. I don't think I'll ever find a home for a cat again. I'll just keep them. The really bad thing is-We now have to take our two outside cats and have them tested. I hope they test negative. We can have them vacinated and they will be alright.. Moral of Story. Have your kittys tested and vacinated for it. I just never thought they would get it or be around one that had it. I hope it will be alright, I have had them so long.

Goodbye Dragon. he was only about two years old.

Oh :o( We were worried about Sallymander when she was little too - she was so small and weak. But when she didn't have to compete against five other kittens anymore, she fattened right up.

I hope your kitties test negative! How is the little one doing?
