Midnight is a stray that found us about 3 months ago. Best guess by Dr
is that he is about 11 or 12 months old. So he is not elderly at all.
I will try to change the litter type but the pee isn't the big issue.
That is what took us to the Dr. but the renal failure is what brought me
to this group. I just don't want this boy to suffer.

Jennifer,
I have a CRF kitty who will be 18 in June. She pees A
LOT. Is Midnight peeing a lot? Is he drinking a lot?
Do you have his kidney values? What are they? I
would ask a lot of questions before you pts. Julie
has been CRF for over a year, and she really isn't
being treated for it because we're treating her for
hyperT, and besides, I don't think there's a lot you
can do for CRF other than diet. Someone please
correct me here if I'm wrong. Julie is happy and
purring and enjoying life even though she goes to the
bathroom a lot and we go through litter like water. I
have to keep her box really clean or she will go
elsewhere, and sometimes still does, but not often.
How old is this boy? Renal failure usually happens to
CRF kitties who are elderly, or to cats who are sick
from something else that's shutting down their organs.
Which does Midnight fall under?

How can we help??

My vet says that the reason Midnight isn't
responding to the
antibiotics or the Feliway (he still pees not
sprays everywhere) is
because he is in renal failure. My vet is all for
helping animals
but says this is a one way street and there is pain
and suffering at
the end of the street. He suggests we say our
goodbyes and put him
down. I do not have a clue what to do or how to
respond to
this. We have only had him since the week after
Christmas when he
found us. Any suggestions?
Jennifer
