Oliver

Sometimes the answers we get aren’t the ones we are hoping for. Oliver has a Ventricle Septal Defect, which means the muscle that separates the two chambers has a hole in it that lets the blood flow to the other ventricle. This is congenital, meaning he was born with it. There is no treatment or cure. His heart is extremely large and working overtime which is causing breathing problems and the reason for his persistent cough. He is a time bomb. He will end up with congestive heart failure and his lungs will fill with fluid and he will suffer and suffocate. It will happen suddenly putting him into immediate crisis. It would be a horrible end. Pat has him at home and he is being spoiled rotten. He has a heating pad and he is being loved big time. He goes back Friday to Dr Gretta and most likely the decision will be made to end his suffering. Our hearts are broken. He made a big impact on a lot of people. Such a sweet boy. Our motto is no kitty left behind and by making an informed decision and not letting him suffer we didn’t leave him behind. He will know love and warmth and home until the end.

We plan on remembering this boy by creating a spot on our website “In memory” of those we loved and lost. When we take a kitty into our rescue we give that kitty the best that we are able to, for however long we have them. We couldn’t do any of this without the support of our wonderful following of people. You have made this possible. We might be the ones doing the day to day but without YOU none of this would happen. Thank you.
