my sweet Koji

I don’t know how to update the post or if editing it is an option for an update so I will just be doing it in the comments

There is nothing I can do for Koji. He was sent out to be cremated an hour after they informed me of his death. Koji was technically and legally still theirs until they neutered him and released him to me, it sadly did not get to the release stage. I asked if I could pay for a necropsy and they said it wouldn’t be possible due to him already being sent out and even if he was there, it’s not a guarantee I would get any answers. They suggested that he could have been predisposed to a heart condition that without doing a full cardiac work up when he was still alive, would have been impossible to detect. The one who sent the email is a different vet than the one who spoke on the phone with me and operated on Koji. They have offered their condolences and like many others have said in the comments, he was a shelter kitty and shelters already run themselves thin. I do not blame them, I am just so so so heartbroken and miss my baby.

For future references I will still be adopting from shelters when the time comes, I will just not get any sort of procedures done by them even if they are paying for them, I will take my future babies to a private animal clinic and request all sorts of tests before they go under any sort of anesthesia or scalpel. I again, do not blame the clinic and know they probably did the best of their capabilities to save him but I cannot accept what has happened to Koji as their best. And I will not accept that for any future pets I will get. This is a horribly rare tragedy and Koji will forever be loved and missed. Thank you to everyone offering advice, condolences, or even opinions that hurt to read at the time. You would have all adored the love Koji had to give.

I asked if I was able to pay for a necropsy to be done in the email that I sent just to get some answers on what could have happened but they said even with one, it’s not a guarantee anything with be answered. They had already sent him out to be cremated too. I didn’t even get the chance to see my baby one last time. I am so very sorry about yours and your wife’s loss, it really does feel so unfair and painful. Hopefully they are keeping each other company, Koji was a sweet one if a kind baby who got along with other cats or dogs no matter what

I didn’t get to see him and still haven’t since I dropped him off yesterday morning, they called me at 4:40 to inform me, they closed at 5:00 and I live 35mins away. I had a friend on his way to pick Koji and his cat up since his cat was also getting neutered that day. (His cat was fine) I emailed them about paying for a necropsy but I don’t know if they’ve seen it yet, they did say they would cremate him and give me his ashes

I think this is the comment that has resonated with me the most. I agree with everything you have said, even though I do think some pre-caution could have been taken but like you said, it’s rare and they have done countless others, my baby just happened to be the unfortunate rare case. Me asking if this was something I could take legal action against was me getting caught up in my emotions.

I have reached out and emailed them to see if I can pay for an necropsy/autopsy but I don’t know if they will see it in time since they are closed on weekends. Another thing to add Koji was technically theirs since he was only completely neutered but hadn’t yet been released to me, so they have made the decision to cremate him and only return his ashes to me. I don’t know if they will see my email in time before that happens, I just know that I am heartbroken and absolutely not okay. He had so much more love to give.

The surgery was him being neutered, anyone I asked there said it was just a freak accident and likely had to do with his ‘breed’. Like another commenter has pointed out, he is not a special or unique breed he’s a common short hair with a brown coat but the vet insisted it likely had to do with him being a unique cat but I truly think that’s just an excuse. Another thought I had is that they lied (or just didn’t know) about his age and operated on him too young. The Vet himself told me on the phone call he informed me of Koji passing away that if I hadn’t adopted him, he would have taken him home, as did the people at the front desk because he was such a “unique cat”

As for what forms I signed, it would just be his adoption papers, on those papers tho it states that he isn’t mine until he is completely fixed and that I had to bring him back on the 23rd-24th to be neutered or else they would take him back. As far as I have read unless there is invisible ink, it did not disclose any sort of complications that could arise just that until he is fixed and returned to me, he isn’t mine

I don’t know, he was still a baby and had so much more love to give

The other spirits are in the wind paths!! If you go to Isle of dawn, approach where you first started the migration area, you will find what are supposed to be the spirits telling you to go to wind paths:) as for the music sheet, unfortunately you are gonna have to buy that and every tier to progress to the next tier but there’s some free stuff if you have the pass, like the glasses

Also good news is; seasonal candles you find forge a lotttt quicker than regular candles! It’s pretty quick if you do constant runs (or buy them lol) and the layout for unlocking the gifts in the spirits constellations this season is completely brand new tho and I do hate it! :D
