3/21 Cain

[Jennifer&Cain(GA)]

Previous condo

Hello all,

I made the hard decision to put Cain to sleep this morning. I took him into the second vet this morning. She told me that if the transfusion worked, he had low chances of getting well. I felt after some hard thinking that he's gone through enough. She was very supportive of me with either decision I made. She thanked me for doing so much for him. I feel like I failed him a bit. But I do know I did try to do what I could.

So Cain went onto the rainbow bridge this morning. He'll see two of his sisters and mom there. Cain's going to be buried in our yard with his family. Brownie is the only remaining cat in that litter still with us.

Cain was such a mellow orange tabby. Always ready to get in my lap or sleep next to me on the bed. And always willing to wake me up at too early hours so he could get fed. He was ever so eager to steal my computer chair as soon as I walked off. I'll miss him dearly. :sad:

I'm not sure how Brownie's going to take this. There has always been a cat in the house besides her.

I want to thank you all so, so much for all the help and vines and just letting me ramble. Y'all helped me get him into remission in a fast time. Y'all supported me so much. Thank you all. I can't say it enough.

Oh Jennifer... :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:

I'm so sorry. It is so hard to watch them suffer and so few kitties like going to the vet already.
Cain knows how devoted you were and how loved he was.
Fly Free Cain.

 

[Amy&TrixieCat]

I am so very sorry, Jennifer. You absolutely did not fail Cain...you were amazingly dedicated to him, right down to making the selfless decision to let him go. He knows how much you love him. You are a true inspiration. Our prayers and deepest condolences....

Dear (((((Jennifer))))),
Your wonderful boy is flying free--free of pain, free of all those meds, free of tubes and bags, free of needles. He's soaring up to the Bridge on his beautiful new golden wings. And he will be welcomed by all of our beloved GAs. It is so hard to say farewell, but you gave him a loving home, a wonderful life, and now you have given him the very best gift, his release. He will always be with you in your heart until that fine day when you will meet again.
Fly free, sweet Cain. You are much loved.

In deepest sympathy,

Ella & Edward, Rusty, and Stu (GA)

 

[Barb & Checkers (GA)]

Oh Jennifer, I'm so very sorry. You did the most unselfish thing you could do for Cain. You took on his pain, for your own.
I'm sending my deepest sympathy, for your hurting heart.

I'm sorry. You're a terrific bean, a kitty couldn't ask for a better life. You didn't let Cain down, you made the hard decision to not let him suffer. Big hugs to you, Jennifer.

[Wendy&Neko]

((((Jennifer)))) I'm so sorry it was Cain's time. You did so much for him - you did not fail him and you thought about him when you made the decision to help him cross. You are a great bean. I hope he sends you a sign soon to help fill that hole in your heart. Hugs to you and Brownie today. :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:

 

[Marje and Gracie]

(((Jennifer)))) You did the very best a mom could do and in the end, you still did the best for him out of your profound love. Do not ever feel you failed him because you did not. You gave him the greatest gift. Our very deepest condolences.

Fly free, Cain. Forever loved. Cain's Candle

I am so very sorry. You were an amazing bean for Cain. He knew how much you were helping him through all of this.
Sending you much love and light ♥♥♥

Fly free, sweet Cain

 

[Rachel & Chyna (GA)]

I'm so, so sorry for your loss, Jennifer. You did everything you could, and then the hardest one, letting him go to fly free :cry: . Many comfort vines and hugs to you :YMHUG:

 

[lovey11]

I am so sorry for your loss Jennifer. You were working so hard to help him when he was so ill. You didn't want him to suffer anymore. Sending prayers of comfort at this difficult time.

I am so sorry.
Cain knows you did all you could for him.
We all know you did so much for him.
Fly free, Cain. No more pain and no more suffering.
Please watch over your bean and your sister Brownie.
Sending many conform vines and hugs to you. :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:

 

[Sienne and Gabby (GA)]

((((Jennifer))))

I am so, so sorry. There always a question -- did I do too much or not enough? Any of us who have helped a kitty to the Bridge ask ourselves that question. I hope that in your heart you know you did what was right for Cain no matter how hard that decision may have been.

Fly free Cain and land softly. There are many of our LL kitties at the Bridge and many of your family who will keep you safe there until you are reunited with the one you love best.

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

{{{Jennifer}}}:

I have been praying so hard that this day would not come. You did such a wonderful job with Cain, but sometimes our very best just isn't enough. In the end, you gave him the greatest gift of all, and I am so proud of you for making such a difficult decision. His is comfortable and free again, and he is watching over you and Brownie. I know how drained and empty you must be feeling. Your whole life has been centered around trying to help him, and now he is not there. Allow yourself time to grieve, and then spend some time thinking about him before he got sick. That is how you want to remember him - not these last, terrible days. I wish I could take away the pain you are feeling - I've been exactly where you are, except that I did not have the courage that you've shown today. You have my total sympathy and I pray you will find peace with this decision and take comfort in your memories and in your dear Brownie. :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:

Fly free, sweet Cain, and land softly. o

 

[Deborah & Shasta]

(((Jennifer))) I am so sorry to hear this, but I know that you love Cain and wanted him to be happy and free from pain. Bless you. Sending prayers of comfort for you, your family and Brownie.

wings_cat Fly free, sweet Cain. Your mamabean loves you very much and will miss you tons. Don't forget to check in on her every once in a while. Much love.

 

[julie & punkin (ga)]

((((jennifer))))

You did far more than many people would do to try to heal him. Cain was very lucky to have you on his side, taking care of his diabetes all this time, and now advocating for him in this last illness.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Fly free, little Cain.

 

[DD & Tinkerbell]

Jennifer,

Everyone knows you did everything possible for Cain and gave him every possible chance...and then some. It is such a hard decision, but he's free now, you set him free...he loves you and he knows you did everything you could for him, right down to the moment you chose to set him free.

I am so sorry (((((((((((((((Jennifer))))))))))))))), for your pain and your loss.

Fly free, sweet Cain, & land softly at the Bridge.

[Chris & China (GA)]

((((Jennifer))))

So sorry to hear this, but understand why you did it. You loved him enough to put his needs ahead of yours and let him go.

You've done a wonderful job with him, and when it came time, you did what was best for Cain.

Fly free Cain, and land softly...send your mamabean a sign you're ok, and watching over her and Brownie.

 

[Shelly & Jersey (GA)]

Jennifer,

I am so truly sorry for your loss. I know words cannot bring you much comfort now, but I pray that fond memories of Cain will, in time, bring you peace. You made a great sacrifice for Cain today; you gave him the strength he needed to leave his ailing body behind and fly free.

Shelly

Please don't allow yourself to think you failed Cain. You did all you could and in the end you did what was the hardest thing to do. Your love for Cain shone through in all of your posts. Extra scritches for Brownie - hugs for you cat_pet_icon :YMHUG:

 

[MJ+Donovan]

:cry: I am sorry. I was praying that Cain might beat the odds. He was lucky to have you.

[Michelle and Mannie (GA)]

Jennifer - I am so sorry! I know you did all you could. Cain does too. I knew he was so loved by an incredible bean. I hope the memories will of comfort to you. Fly free Cain - you will be forever missed, never to be forgotten.

 

[Angela & Blackie & 3 Others]

{{{{{{{{{{JENNIFER}}}}}}}}}} Please accept my condolences for your loss. You didn't fail him. Never think that, please. You've done the very best for him, and you've been a very good, kind, caring, loving Mama Bean to him, and have given him the very best home that was full of love, and warmth that any kitty could've wanted. For that, he'll be eternally grateful.

Fly free, sweet beautiful little Cain, and land softly.

 

[MrZ]

Jennifer, i am so sorry you had to let Cain go. Sometimes helping our kitties to the Rainbow Bridge is the most loving thing we can do for them. Sincerest condolences.

Fly free and land softly sweet Cain. You are forever loved and will be missed by your momma.

[Camille and Cyclone]

I'm very sorry to see this, and very sorry for your loss. You always did the best thing for Cain, including now, but I know how feelings of guilt always creep in when you have to make this very difficult decision.

 

[Jennifer&Cain(GA)]

Thank you all so so much for all the condolences and candles. Thank you all.

:YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:

Brownie's getting lots of hugs and pets right now.

I've attached a photo of Cain and Brownie the one time they both tried to take my computer chair. It was a very amusing day. I'm trying to remember the good things and how much Cain loved me. I'm glad I decided when I got my new phone to start taking pictures of them when I could. I now have more pictures to enjoy later.

I'm definitely going to drop by every so often.

Thank you all again.

:YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:

 

[Michelle and Mannie (GA)]

Beautiful kitties! I hope you are doing OK, and will continue to visit us. Peace to all there.

I'm so sorry to see this. Cain did love you and you him.
It's never enough, but treasure the time you had together.
