GA bodie-labored breathing and seemingly weakness in back legs

So sorry to hear the news about Bodie this morning. Please don't blame yourself or worry about him feeling "abandoned". You did everything you could for him and he knew he was loved. You took him in when he had nobody and nothing. You gave him everything you could, including a lot of love but something went wrong in his body. That's something none of us can control.

Fly free sweet Bodie and land softly. Send your heartbroken mama a sign that you're happy, healthy and waiting for the day that you'll be together again forever. cat_wings>o
 
Oh Sadye, I am so sorry to read this news. I will echo what everyone else is saying, you have nothing to feel guilty about (not that us telling you will change how you feel) but I am sure little Bodie knew you were doing the best for him. Imagine how much worse you would be feeling if you had not taken him to the ER. He surely did not feel abandoned when you were putting him in the care of experts. You gave him a year and a half of loving care. We all know how much you loved and cared for him and I'm sure he did too. :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
I am so very sorry for your loss.

Cats know when they are loved. You brought Brodie into your home and made it his home. You've cared for him in every way that you could. He knew. Whether you could be with him or not, he knew.

I hope. you don't mind but I removed the 911 and let people know that Brodie is with our other kitties at the Rainbow Bridge.
 
I am so sorry for your loss. I saw your condo yesterday and wanted to check on him today. My heart and prayers go out to you. Brodie was loved and so very lucky to have you rescue him. Hugs:bighug:
 
I am so very very sorry for the loss of your sweet Bodie. Bless you for loving him and giving him a good life. I went through almost the same thing last year and the pain of not being there - but know you did everything you could and he knew it was safe for him to fly on his own over that rainbow bridge. He is happy and free now and I hope the memories bring you healing and peace.
 
{{{Sayde}}} I am so sorry to hear about Brodie. :bighug::bighug::bighug: You did all you could for him, from taking him in off the streets, to caring for his diabetes. Remember all the good times with him to help you as you grieve. Brodie knew you loved him.
 
Hi Sayde—I was following the earlier convo and was just checking to see how things were going. I’m deeply sorry to read about Brodie. I agree with what everyone else has said— you did the very very best that you could do— he was deeply loved.
Thinking of you.
 
:bighug::bighug::bighug:Sadye I am so very sorry to hear Bodie has gone to the Rainbow Bridge. You have been a wonderful caring mom to him and he would have known you truly loved him. I am so glad he had found you.
We all wonder if we did the right at the end. That’s a normal feeling. But you did. He needed vet care and you got it for him.
Fly free beautiful Bodie. :rb_icon:cat_wings>o
 
I am so sorry for your sudden loss. You two are and always will be strongly connected in spirit because of your love so your fur baby did not feel alone or abandoned in his final moments. Bless you for giving him a home filled with love and incredible care. Prayers for you to find peace with time and for your tears to be replaced with beautiful memories of your time together :rb_icon:.
 
I hate people who maliciously abandon their pets, almost as much as I love the people who then then rescue them :mad:

Bless you for giving him a home and loving him, and taking care of him even though he was a special needs kitty. I'm sure he knew how much you loved him and knew you weren't abandoning him.

Fly free, sweet furry angel cat_wings>o
 
Oh Sadye, I know exactly how you feel. With COVID restrictions and also emergencies where we hand our beloved babies over to others to care for, we do lose some precious moments. I believe that now they are gone all of their questions are answered. I have had to face this situation just yesterday. God bless you. I do a lot of cat rescue so I know how these kitties that we rescue can fill our hearts with such love and commitment. Think of what a difference you made in Bodie’s life. You changed it completely from an unloved, abandoned existence to a love-filled one! You didn’t have enough time with him, but the time you had was a wonderful gift for you both. I understand the sadness and definitely the guilt. The guilt and questioning about everything you could have done differently and what you did and did not do … that is all normal. I have experienced this many times. I replay everything in my mind over and over. God bless you, Sadye.
