4/12/22 – You may remember the story of Skatz, Midnight, and Magnus. It was February of 2018 when a person we’ve helped in the past with rescues contacted us for assistance. Her neighbor had just told her that her son was going to dump his cats in the woods because he and his ex-girlfriend no longer wanted them after their break-up. Our 4p1h friend, Marci, took the cats in and contacted us. At the time we covered their spay/neuter, vaccines, and testing and everyone went on to live happy lives as, once again, inside cats.
But, this past weekend I was again contacted because Midnight was not doing well and had been taken to the hospital. Midnight was diagnosed with a fever, urinary tract infection, and pancreatitis. And before further tests could be done, Midnight became jaundiced and the doctor suggested that Midnight was going through liver failure. It was decided to humanely euthanize Midnight. Here is a message I received from his rescuer and mom:
“Midnight was put to sleep. Her liver was failing. Thank you so much anyway for your offer of help. You always come through for me and it’s helped 5 beautiful, unique cats have happy lives they wouldn’t have had without you.
I’m gonna go do some crying now. “”
RIP Midnight – We at least know you had a wonderful life with a beautiful family for 4 years and now you are no longer in pain. – Diana.
