Re: Ceasar is no longer in pain (please add him to the CLS)
:( I'm so sorry for poor ceasar.. but I do think he came to you because he knew you loved him and would help him. Maybe he didn't want to be an indoor cat and chose to stay feral until he was ill and knew you would help him. tNina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello my beloved group,I just got the call from the vet.

Re: Ceasar is no longer in pain (please add him to the CLS)
Nina, I'm so sorry to hear that Ceasar didn't make it, I was really hoping he would pull through. It is so special and that he trusted and loved you enough to come to you in his hour of need. He knew you would help him in whichever way was needed and put his faith in you for that. Even though the decision you had to make for him tore your heart apart, it was what was best for him, it would have been horrible for him to die a slow, painful, lonely death if you weren't so special that he felt he could come to you. You made a huge difference in his life, so much so that when it really mattered he knew you were there and loved him enough to help him. I'm so sorry for your loss, but glad that Ceasar is well, whole and knew that he was dearly loved. He will be your special feral guide and help you to continue the wonderful work you do for the forgotten ones. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ...

Re: Ceasar is no longer in pain (please add him to the CLS)
Dear Nina, I am so sorry about your loss of sweet little Caesar. All ferals hold a very special place in my heart & I know that he held a very special place in yours. He definitely seemed to know that you were his special person & he knew that you would take care of him in the most unselfish of ways. He left this world knowing that he is loved. Take care. Yvonne

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

I'm so sorry about Caesar. But you know, he knew you were there when he needed you most of all. You saved him from such a terrible death and this alone is something you should feel good about. He knew that you'd always have a little piece of your heart saved just for him and he knew to claim it when he needed it.

Re: Ceasar is no longer in pain (please add him to the CLS)
Dear Nina, I'm crying with you - I was so hoping he would recover. He knows you loved him, and he knows you only wanted the best for him. Please don't think of it as a failure on your part - you succeeded in more ways than you realize. That is why he came back to you - because he knew you would help him. He knew it was his time, and that he lived as long as he chose to. Even the animals have SOME free choice, and he chose you to help him make his transition, gently, peacefully, and lovingly. I will light a candle for him tonight. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Sleep soft, dear Ceasar.

Before we left for the vet, he allowed me to stroke him through the grate of the trap. His skin was covered with small lesions, with that gritty feel that comes from flea infestation. Poor little lamb! He was angry, but he didn't try to scratch me, or even hiss. I spoke softly to him and told him how much he was loved and that he was finally home. I had so prayed that I would be bringing him back to comfort and security this afternoon. I had to finally decide to let him go. I'm so sick about not being able to trap him when I first met him, maybe he would be healthy today. I feel like I failed him, my only consolation is that he's no longer suffering, he's no longer confined, and he's no longer producing felv kittens. He lived the hard life of a cat on the street and I helped him as best I could. Thank you all for caring about a special little feral boy and understanding how he has left an imprint on my heart. Bless you my sweet, brave, clever friend. I will love you always. Nina

Ceasar is no longer in pain (please add him to the CLS)
Hello my beloved group, I just got the call from the vet. Ceasar had deep puncture wounds that were abscessed all over his body, the deepest around his neck and the most infected on his rear leg, no wonder my brave little man was limping. He had a high fever and the worst news of all, he was felv+. They hadn't yet investigated why his nose was bleeding, or why there was blood in his saliva. The vet, who is always reluctant to recommend euthanasia, said if she were Ceasar she wouldn't want to wake up from the kind of pain he must have been living with. I still hesitated, I still thought maybe there was a way. I asked if there could be any doubt about his status, the answer was an unequivocal no. Before we left for the vet, he allowed me to stroke him through the grate of the trap. His skin was covered with small lesions, with that gritty feel that comes from flea infestation. Poor little lamb! He was angry, but he didn't try to scratch me, or even hiss. I spoke softly to him and told him how much he was loved and that he was finally home. I had so prayed that I would be bringing him back to comfort and security this afternoon. I had to finally decide to let him go. I'm so sick about not being able to trap him when I first met him, maybe he would be healthy today. I feel like I failed him, my only consolation is that he's no longer suffering, he's no longer confined, and he's no longer producing felv kittens. He lived the hard life of a cat on the street and I helped him as best I could. Thank you all for caring about a special little feral boy and understanding how he has left an imprint on my heart. Bless you my sweet, brave, clever friend. I will love you always. Nina
