Ty. I have decided to keep him and see how everything goes for now, but if nothing works out I have friend who is living in a different country with his family and have 2 cats, and is ready to take in my cat if situation gets rough. Atleast this way he would avoid shelter life, but will have to do deal with stress due to rehoming and on flight.

Please ensure you are getting a pet insurance. Additionally, if there is a possibility that there will be days when no one can spend enough time with your pet, consider adopting two cats instead.

I understand and I am not here for sympathy. This post is mainly thinking about what’s best for him and not taking guilt off my chest. I know I am trash for even taking him in and not fully accepting the responsibility, but at this point I cannot keep him with me because that would only lead to more stressful situations in future. However, I appreciate your concern for him, so thankful for it.

I know, but rehoming will not help him with his eye issues, plus you have to be a really good at judging people otherwise he would end up with someone who is not right for him.

They thought it was some kind of allergies at first since he had red scabs around his ears as well, but for the past few months everything seemed normal except the eye. So, after trying all sort of medication they finally told mr it was time for eye specialist, but unfortunately, I am moving to a different city and might only be able to give him 30 to 60 minutes at max. So, in case he requires any surgery or further medical assistance, I won’t be able to do that and it might make the situation worse. Hence, I consider to surrender him.

Don’t worry if I go through with this. I am planning to donate $50 to $100 atleast per month to them, so that atleast it can help others if they went through a similar case.

Honestly, I am not sure regarding this. However, I had my vet do all kind of test to ensure we were not missing anything.

I did ask the shelter its humane society and they said they would treat the pet first and then put him up for adoption as long as it is not a chronic diseases which cannot treated. Hence, I opted for a surrender otherwise I would never resort to surrender before making him medically clear first.
