10/30/24 – Rest in Kitty Heaven, Milton. It was a little over two weeks ago that we were contacted about a stray boy who had been hanging around since May. Milton had what looked to be an eye infection and was limping badly. We authorized him to be seen at our partner vet, Patterson Veterinary Hospital. Yesterday, I received the following update from Jennifer, the neighbor who was assisting her neighbor with Milton. “Me and my neighbor took Milton to Patterson today and unfortunately his injuries/illness were pretty severe. The vet felt that even if we could get him through all his ailments the feline virus would eventually take him down. He would’ve needed paws amputated as his bones were exposed and constant care with medication around the clock. A lot of effort would’ve been needed and more than likely would not have saved him. Thank you so much for all you do to help save the animals. Slightly heartbroken 💔 but feel we did everything we could to help him. Unfortunately, crossing rainbow bridge was the best decision for the little guy. Again thank you for your efforts to help the animals. Milton would’ve suffered longer without your compassion. Jennifer Thank you to the many kind and loving people trying to save animals every day. The world is a better place with you in it. – diana P.S. Both Jennifer and her neighbor had tried finding an owner for Milton but were obviously unsuccessful. https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
