Ceasar is no longer in pain (please add him to the CLS)

[Nina]

Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts and words.  Knowing there 
were so many that mourned Ceasar along with me helped so much.  I've 
been so blessed in being able to help many of my fur friends recover 
from what seemed like insurmountable odds that having to make the final 
decision over the phone, without looking in his eyes to know for sure, 
was so very difficult.  It was even harder because of my strong feeling 
that felv should not be considered a death sentence.  Unfortunately, in 
the case of a truly feral fellow like Ceasar, it became the deciding 
factor.  Last night when I captured him, I assured him that when he 
recovered, it would be his choice to stay under my protection, or return 
to the wild.  Because of the felv, that choice no longer existed.  This 
was just crushing to me.  I often tell myself that the fate of my wild 
friends is even less in my control than those that are able to accept my 
interventions. Being forewarned never seems to ease the pain of reality, 
or ease the despair of loss.
Thank you for caring,
Nina
