I got the call today I knew would come someday but never thought about how or when. My mom is the caring servant of my first cat (as an adult on my own) Molly. Molly was adopted from the Humane Society 12 years ago. Molly had been abused quite severely. Someone had removed all her claws so she couldn't fight when they used her as a "fight cat". When I got her she was malnourished, severely infested with fleas, ears were nasty and a pretty bad upper respiratory infection. When I took her to the vet he said my best bet would be to "put her down" as she would never recover from her trauma. Not one to accept that, I said, "Fix her". He did and she blossomed into the most beautiful whopping 12lbs of loving Maine Coon. She was very easily sickened when traveling in a car so when I got transferred to Minneapolis I was stuck. My mom stepped in and said she would take her until I found "other arrangements". Nine years later they are the best of buds. Apparently over the weekend my mom was grooming her and found a lump on her back left hip. They took her to the vet today who stated, "you had better prepare yourselves for this being the end. Please contact her owner and let her know and see is she will allow us to put her to sleep." My mom called with a quivering voice asking if the diagnosis isn't good, if it was ok if they "let her go to Grandpa (my dad who is in Heaven)". I almost drove off the road in shock. Apparently he thinks it is an aggressive form of cancer from the looks of it and he said she is too old to do anything invasive. They are biopsying it this afternoon and we should know more today or tomorrow. It tears me up as Molly was with me thru two of the most traumatic times of my life and didn't leave my side. Even though we have been seperated for a few years now, she will plow everyone over to get to me when I go visit. She hasn't forgotten me. It tears me up to know I may not see her again, at least not on this Earth. I am doubly saddened by the fact that if we have to let her go to the bridge, it may well be on the 10th anniversary of my dad's passing. Please send White Light and Prayers to Molly that she may be cured or that her passing is quick and without pain. I am very sad tonight and appreciate your thinking of my girl. Thanks! MC

MC I'm praying that it is not cancerous and the vet's pre-diagnosis is wrong. If it is, I'm praying that she goes peacefully and know that she will be in Grandpa's loving arms. I will be thinking of you. Molly knows that you love her with all your heart, that can be seen by how she remembers you and always comes to you first. She is so thankful that you saved her and gave her so many extra years. Here's to hoping for more, but knowing that if it's not meant to be, at least she helped both you and your mom through so much, just like you did for her. ((MC))

I'm so sorry to hear about your news MC. I had my black lab 17 years so I know how hard it is to loose a companion like Molly. Not only will Poof and I keep Molly in our thoughts but you as well.
I hope the well wishes of everyone comforts you as though we were there with you.

{{{MC}}} Oh, I'm so sorry MC. I hope really hard that the problem is something less dire than what the vet thinks, but if it is what he thinks, I wish only a peaceful passing to the Bridge for Molly and comfort for you and your mom.
You did a wonderful thing rescuing Molly and giving her a good life.

Oh Amy...this is indeed such sad news! I'm in tears just reading this so I can't imagine how awful you must feel. I'm sending White Light and Prayers to Molly that it is not what the vet expects but if it is, that she can pass painlessly and peacefully. You will definitely see her again Amy and I know your Dad will take great care of her until then. (((Molly))) (((Amy))) (((Mom)))

Amy, this is sad news. Is there anyway you can get back to see her? I don't know how far away you are but if Molly is going to the Bridge, it would help both of you to be there as she leaves on her journey.
It sounds like you provided her with a wonderful 12 years she never would have had without you, but that doesn't make letting her go any easier.

I can't get there. It is about a 9-10hr drive. I just pray that it isn't so bad and that they will be able to help her. I am worried about my mom too as she has been her companion and made my mom's transition into being a widow much easier. She at least had "someone" there to be with her. I am just heartbroken.

Oh Amy, I am so sorry. Molly had a rough start but you found her, loved her and she loved you. I pray that she will be cured or her passing will be peaceful. I am also keeping you and your mom in my thoughts and prayers too. I wish I had comforting words right now but know you are loved and so is Molly and always will be. (((Amy))) (((Molly)))

Oh Amy. I echo what everyone else is saying. Praying that the vet is wrong and if he isn't that her passing will be quick and painless. I will keep Molly and your mom and of course you in my thoughts and prayers. Jetta sends her prayers and love, too. You gave her life and her life a chance and she will be waiting for you. You WILL see her again.

Amy, I am so sorry. I hope and pray that it isn't cancer. I lost my beloved Clueless cat to cancer. It is a hard disease to beat. Call me if you need to talk. You, Molly Cat and your mom are all in my prayers.

Bless Molly, your Mom, and you, praying that the vet is wrong this time too. If it is to be though, may the Wolf greet her in the Meadow for the comfort. She has been well loved and returned that love to both you and your Mother.

My mom lives in a very small town in Southern Indiana. This vet is the only vet in the county and really the only one for about an hour around. Due to her previous history I had been told 10 years would be great for her (d/t the abuse history). She is actually 15, was already 3 when I got her. Animal control had gone into the house and busted an animal fighting thing. Molly was the "target" for the dogs to attack. So sad. I pray those people burn in hell for what they did to her. I really do!

I am so sorry, Amy. I will pray for Molly and whatever might be best for her. You and your mom must remember that you rescued Molly from a horrible life and gave her a safe home where she has been greatly loved. Nothing could be more important in Molly's life that being loved. We are never ready, though.

Oh MC!.... through tears, I send huggs and prayers!.... I pray that Molly's passing will be peaceful and painless.... know that you and your Mom have loved her for the majority of her life, and have appreciated her for the loving cat that she is and was meant to be!..... you have a very special bond with her!...... My Big Buc, Winston and Milo are on "watch" at the bridge, waiting anxiously to welcome Molly when the time comes....
..... Emma will be along soon to give you a lovely recount of all the events!

Oh, Amy, I'm crying so hard as I write this. I'm just praying that the vet will do whatever is best for Molly--be it treatment or helping her to the bridge. She sounds like such a special girl--isn't it amazing how they let us know that they appreciate us for helping them out of dire situations? I know that there are no words to help you right now. All I can do is tell you that I understand so well how you're feeling right now and that I'm keeping your whole family in my prayers.
