2/6/16 – Sad news about Carlos but we are committed to him and we won’t let him down. Here is Chance’s update. ~ diana
“Hello Team Chance! Soooo, We have the results of Carlos’s tumor that was removed and sent out. Carlos has Spindle Cell Sarcoma, which is a type of cancer. Although the tumor was removed, apparently there are still remaining cancer cells. These tumors can pop up anytime and they grow very aggressively. This type of cancer can occur in younger animals and likely was the cause of the tumor removed when he was with a previous owner as a kitten causing the majority of his tail to be removed and the cause of his latest tumor that was removed and the remaining 3 vertebre of his tail. Carlos is estimated to be 9yrs old now. Due to his age and the commitment required to care for him, Auntie Di and mom feel its best that Carlos remain in the 4 Paws 1 Heart Family where 4 Paws 1 Heart can be sure his medical needs are met and he can be loved and cherished the way he deserves. Carlos also needs a stress free environment preferably without other pets so his needs and happiness can be the main focus. So until that purrrfect home is found and decided upon we will continue giving Carlos all our love. We will keep you up on our sweet, sweet boy. Love & Purrrs, Chance”
