For a while it was helping. Recently, she started to decline. She would hardly eat. Quality of life was at an all-time low.
After intense deliberation, my husband and I took her to be euthanized on Valentine's Day.
Both my husband and I are heart-broken as she was so sweet and only 11 years young.
I know most of you have gone through something like this. And I can feel your empathy.
Please pray for us to receive the strength to move past the pain as effectively as we can.
The good news is that we have four other inside rescues who need us. And more than that outside who are homeless.
Thank you for your concern, your prayers and your comments.

Please accept my sincere condolences. We lost our beloved 6-year-old Fiona to CKD on Dec 1. She put up a great fight for nearly a year and endured all the treatments you speak of. I know how much your heart is breaking, and you will be in my prayers as you grieve your loss. Sending many hugs.
Debby, it is never easy. It is always too soon but you had the courage to let her go to her pain free rest I am so sorry and am sending prayers and hugs!

We were so sorry to hear Tabby had to cross the Rainbow Bridge. What a beautiful kitty too, and looiks so sweet. Reminded us of our Misty, who crossed the bridge for the same reason over 10 years ago. You are blessed to have other furbabies who need you.

Experience has taught me that "difficult" does not even begin to describe what you and Tabby just went through. God bless you for having the strength to give her the final gift. Angel Lexi's Mom, Amy
Sad news indeed. I went back and saw the video of Tabby sitting on the cat tree batting the balls down as you threw them to her.
The one bad thing about cats is they never seem to live long enough.
So sorry about Tabby, Debby. I know you love all your cats, inside and outside. A warm hug.
We are so sorry about Tabby, staying busy with those who need your help will help you get through this painful loss. (Hugs)
I am so very sorry that Tabby has gone! You cared for her and loved her and I know you will miss her dreadfully? Sending purrs to you x
I am so sorry for your loss.
We are so sorry that Tabby had to go to the bridge. Just know that she knew lots of love while she was with you and was a very lucky cat.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Fighting kidney disease is a terrible losing battle. I know you gave Tabby lots of love and the best care possible. I hope soon the memories of her last months will be replaced by sweet thoughts of her younger healthy days.
Also hoping your husband is recovering quickly from his knee surgery!
Best wishes,
Maggie
I am so sorry for your loss of Tabby. You gave her a loving and good life and gave her dignity when it was time for her to leave.
We are so sorry for the loss of Tabby. It is easy to see how much you loved her from your post. Sending purrs and love from our house.
We are so very sorry. Sometimes everything we do just isn't enough. We send you lots of comforting purrs and gentle headbutts.
I read about Tabby on the POTP blog and wanted to express my condolences. I had a kitty with kidney troubles too, so I can empathize. My your good memories of her outweigh the hurt you're feeling now.
Godspeed, sweet Tabby. Thanks to your People who gave you a loving and happy home and good life, and who sent you gently onward when the time came. Every kitty should be so blessed. XOXOXOXO from Spitty and the Human

We're so sorry for your loss...

My Tungsten was fourteen when she died; she had kidney disease.
Our friends never stay long enough; even were they to stay a hundred years, and eleven is far too short a time. Please accept my condolences. I know Tabby will be forever remembered, and she will forever remember the love and care you gave her. Godspeed, Tabby.
Godspeed your journey to heaven Tabby; we are truly sorry. We all send our sincerest sympathies to your mom and dad, we know how very hard this is. You were and always will be loved ~~~~~ ♥♥♥♥♥
I am sorry Deb; I send prayers to you and your husband ♥♥♥♥♥
I am so deeply sorry for the loss of beautiful Tabby.
We are so sorry. Thank you for caring for and for loving sweet Tabby.
I'm truly sorry for your loss. Tabby looked like a sweet girl. CKD is an exhausting roller coaster. We did it for five years and Merlin died naturally last year at 21.5. There were so many times we almost gave up and then he'd bounce back, with more frequent fluids etc. Our cats let us know when it's time to go as I'm sure Tabby did.
We are very sorry for your loss of Tabby. It is so difficult to make the hard decision. I struggle every time. Peace and blessings of love and comfort to you in your time of sorrow. Sabina Ayne, kittycaperz.wordpress.com
I am so very sorry.. it is hard at any time, but at only eleven..

You will move past the pain. Think about the great life she had noy that she died.
We send lots of comforting purrs. Hugs too.
