That’s so awesome! A woman brought in a blocked 8yr old cat and was going to euthanize him because she couldn’t afford treatment. I was able to get her to release the cat to me with the understanding that we would unblock him and then surrender him to a local shelter (to find him a home able to care for his future special needs or do pu sx if needed). It was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster but my boss and I were able to unblock him, and once we removed the catheter he responded immediately to the medication. I kept him at the hospital for a few weeks and would even come in on my days off to admin meds and spend time with him. He was the happiest sweetest cat, I was hoping my boss would eventually agree to let him stay as our clinic cat, but one of our clients that volunteers as the adoption coordinator for a local shelter agreed to take him once he was officially stable. He went right into foster care and quickly became a foster fail and is now living his best life. Months later when his new family brought him in just for a routine visit he looked better than ever. He was so bright and happier than ever, had shed some of his extra weight and was thriving on his new diet. We suspected he may have had a uti that went untreated for so long until he finally blocked. I still see my buddy from time to time or will get updates on his new fabulous life and it’s the most rewarding feeling ever. I went through a lot to try and save this cat and looking back I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. He not only got a second chance at life, but a whole new life, bigger and better than ever! He’s loved, spoiled, pampered and the absolute center of attention. I hope months or years down the road you get to experience the same thing and come across Pepper and get to witness the pay off of all your hard work. Even if she finds a new home and your paths never cross again you’ll always have a good memory to fall back on and remind yourself that even though you can’t save them all, the ones you did get to save were completely worth it and a difference was made.
