Casey has always been a healthy cat. When I suspected that something was wrong, it was in November and I noticed her drinking a lot of water. I had her tested and she had elevated levels that indicated that her kidneys were failing. For ten months we've kept her comfortable and hydrated with fluids and I made sure she ate as much as she could to keep her weight up.

We went thru our ups and downs but they were really not bad at all. Casey has always been a healthy indoor cat. The only time she was at the vet was when once she was in our backyard and a Tom cat got a hold of her and fought with her. Her wounds needed attention. Other than that she's never been any trouble at all. So what small issues we experience with her were nothing.

The cats on caster educated me to what was happening to Casey. The advice I got from Alex - Sweet Angel Girl was wonderful and it helped me give Casey 10 more months to live. When the fluids and the b12 didn't work this time around and she stopped eating I knew the fight was over and Casey was ready to make her journey.

I loved her so much and I know I gave her the best life I could give her. She was born wild and I rescued her from the streets at four months old. She held onto that toughness for many years and as she got older she let it go but in the end it was me who had to get tough and fight the fight for her to stay healthy and comfortable. In the end it was me who had to be strong enough to go thru the pain of letting her go.

Thank you all for your love and support and special thanks to Alex Sweet Girl.

You are so very welcome. I was more than happy to help you in any way I could and will always continue to do so if you ever need us again. Even if it's just to talk because you miss your girl. We've been there and we know how this feels. I'm so glad you had Casey for another 10 months. What a wonderful gift. We love you!

Sweet Casey, I heard about you from Angel Alex. I am so sorry that you got sick and have made your journey to the next life. Your Mom gave you such a wonderful life and she loved you so much. She was so strong to let you go when it was time, so that you didn't have to suffer any more here on earth. We are sending hugs and prayers of comfort to your Mom.
Mietzi, Timo and Mom
