Carlos – Another Cancerous Tumor

11/2616 – It is with a heavy heart that I share this post about our sweet Carlos. Carlos came to us in February of this year after a tumor had burst. He had already been passed around a couple of times and unbeknownst to us he had already had part of his tail removed because of a cancerous tumor when he was just a kitten. Unfortunately, the tumor again proved to be cancerous and the tumor was removed along with more of Carlos’ tail. Although it was determined that the cancer was a progressive form and that Carlos would probably live a short life, 4 Paws 1 Heart and our good friends Denise and Shel made a commitment to Carlos. Since that time Carlos has had a third cancer surgery and a few other minor issues as a result. But through it all, Carlos has remained a loving, happy cat enjoying his many fur friends in the household. His favorite thing is to watch the Lion King with all of his fur siblings and mom. Our goal is to ensure that Carlos has a good quality of life and doesn’t suffer. Please say a little prayer for Carlos and his family. ~ diana

“Hello Team, we know everybody’s been waiting for news about Carlos. Its taken mom till now to digest and come to terms with things. The news is not what we had hoped and what we had been dreading since Carlos came to us. The cancer has spread beyond what surgery could help. Its spreading rapidly and to put him through surgery again would greatly decrease his quality of life he has at this moment and would not buy us any more time. Our hearts are truly broken. We knew in our minds this news would come but our hearts were not prepared. We have maybe a month or a bit more to continue to love & spoil our brother just as we have the last 11 months and thats exactly what we are going to do. Thankyou all for your love & support and to 4 Paws 1 Heart for being there and continuing to be there every step of the way for Carlos’s medical support. We’re going to say goodnight early everybody, its been a tough day. We love you all, Love Chance & the Gang”
