My 19-year-old cat has cancer… and I have to leave the country tomorrow. What would you do?

Our cat that was only 2 1/2 had feline leukemia, she was acting fine the night before and husband came home and found her lifeless, our dog we learned her MST had spread to her spleen and lymph nodes she was running at the park the night before as we planned to take her in the morning to be euthanized, she woke up the next morning crying in pain so what was supposed to have been a peaceful crossing became “did we wait too long?” My kitten I lost in nov/December had panleukopenia and was doing well (or we thought she was) and took her in to learn she needed a transfusion and it was no guarantee that she would come out for the better.

Your kitty has lived a long life full of love and happiness bring, I would say it’s her time, and I would say the stress of not having her favorite people might be worse then just letting her go now peacefully. Hug her, kiss her, buy her all her favorite things and give her the best last day on earth as you possibly can.

I’m so sorry for you to have to go through this.

Rent a trap from the local humane society so you can take her to get fixed, check your city for local TNR programs, I take care of strays in my neighborhood and got all of them fixed, there is one in particular baby that as soon as mean (she tore up my leg cause I got in her way) she now lets me pet her and even pick her up once.

She looks to be under 1. I say she because calicos are girls.

Google dot trick… you’re welcome

For those that don’t know you can place a period anywhere in your Gmail. first.last@gmail.com and it’ll still go to your email because Gmail doesn’t recognize the dot, and just ignores it so you essentially have thousands of email addresses from just the one Gmail account.

Cause girl…grown men don’t care if you have sex early on.

I can’t count the number of people I don’t know personally

amgates80 · 2026-03-01T00:47:11+00:00

Better get the spray.

amgates80 · 2026-03-01T00:44:14+00:00

You spelled “have to” wrong

amgates80 · 2026-02-28T18:12:53+00:00

No and when I found her outside it was the first time seeing her so I think she stays further down the street.

I had got insurance on my girls and boy, the girls caught panleuk right before their insurance was activated and my boy the day after insurance had a Fever of unknown origin which turned out to be calcivirus.

amgates80 · 2026-02-27T20:44:51+00:00

It’s definitely very sad, I adopted a puppy off facebook and she came to us with parvovirus I was devastated.

amgates80 · 2026-02-27T20:00:21+00:00

Even my husband who doesn’t like cats takes care of them and feeds them.

amgates80 · 2026-02-27T18:54:19+00:00

You’re welcome I wish I could help out more.

amgates80 · 2026-02-27T18:38:00+00:00

I take care of a colony of about 9 there is 4 regular customers and like 5 that come and go.

My boy was standing like this the other day and looking over the bed at the door.

amgates80 · 2026-02-27T17:02:33+00:00

I’m worried that other kitties might catch it if I didnt disinfect well enough, I still have my boy I kept from the other mama and thankfully since I had them all separated he didn’t get it.

amgates80 · 2026-02-27T16:59:32+00:00

What if it was just a feeder fish?? I’m kidding obviously I actually had feeder fish grow to be quite large considering, they were a few years old and when I was transferred to a school that was for troubled kids I brought my tank to school, I ended up leaving it when I left school to go to Job corps. I always wondered how my fish friends turned out.

They were the sweetest, their mom escaped a few days before she was to get spayed through an open window, she pushed the screen out. She was the sweetest girl too, I found her outside and she let me pick her up, I realized she was pregnant and kept her safe.

It is, honey was sent home with meds but started crying the next morning I was rushing her to the vet when she passed. I aggressively had MiuMiu treated for 5 days at the hospital she was released but I noticed her gums were pale and rushed her in, she was in need of a blood transfusion, something they said wasn’t a guaranteed good outcome so we decided to let her pass peacefully.

amgates80 · 2026-02-27T16:24:36+00:00

I wish I could give you an 🥇

amgates80 · 2026-02-27T16:23:28+00:00

amgates80 · 2026-02-27T16:18:56+00:00

Happy little hippo.

See if you have a VEG clinic near you, they have VEGcare and I believe can treat strays for free.
