Dear (((Wendy, Ron, Theo))), We will be sending lots of love, scritches, and beautiful thoughts at the appointed hour when Theo will head to The Bridge to begin his new adventure. What a wonderful kitty he is! How lucky he is that you found him and gave him a furever home. Neko will be at the Bridge to give him kitty kisses and hugs, and all our GAs will be there to welcome him. He will be "in good paws" until you meet again.

Sending you and Ron much love and strength for tomorrow. Wishing Theo a bon voyage.

:bighug::bighug::bighug:s for you and scritches for your boy.

Ella, Edward, and Rusty

Yo Theo, I'll miss you, man. But I know you're going to a good place. Farewell, until we meet again.
Your pal,
Rusty
 
(((((Wendy and Ron))))) (((((Theo)))))
Keeping you close in my heart.
I will be sending love and light your way for his peaceful transition tomorrow at 1:30 pm.

Hello Lantus/Levemir Land - been a while since I started a post. Some of you may remember my other kitty Theo. His pic is in Neko's profile, lying beside my girl on the kitchen floor. About two years he started daily vomiting, which led to an initial diagnosis of IBD. Six months later vetty saw migration to small cell lymphoma. We have been treating and he's been symptom free for over a year. His ultrasound in January showed completely normal bowels.

When I got back from my trip to California and Arizona this last weekend (meetup with Marje, Karen, and Liz), DH said he was drinking a bit more. His BG test showed normal. Two nights ago he started going off his food and I whisked him into vetty yesterday for blood work and X-rays. The X-rays did not look good. :( Initial thoughts are the lymphoma has spread. Liver, abdomen are enlarged and there is a possibly pulminary mass.

Theo is the most affectionate cat I've ever known. He loves cuddles and has been known to lick my face from top to bottom. Today, he licked the tears off my face. He's been pretty quiet - his belly is swollen and likely has fluids. I'm getting about 1/2 the calories in him with him licking it off my fingers. We could use some of those powerful LL vines.:bighug: Tomorrow we are off to critical care. The oncologist is solidly booked and his vetty thinks it's time for some supportive care. She's also been consulting with Neko's IM vet at the same clinic. We'll see if we do an ultrasound for further diagnosis or what the next steps are.

So if I don't respond to tags in the next little while, you will understand why. In addition, about 3 weeks ago I had to haul my father from their island home to ER - he has kidney failure. He's back home now - but needing extra care. My plate is full.

So very sorry for all you're dealing with right now, Wendy. Thinking of you and praying.

I will keep you in my heart with gentle hugs:bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:
My heart hurts for yours...

(((Wendy))) I am so heartbroken for you to have to walk this path with your very special Theo. He has been so blessed since you were able to adopt him and the two of you have given your best to fighting the lymphoma.

I hope he snuggles with you tonight and tomorrow, he will find his beautiful wings in peace and Neko will be waiting for him.

I'll be thinking of you all and sending love and light.
 
{{{Wendy}}}

Six years in a shelter! How amazing he must have found it when you took him home and showed him the true meaning of that word. I know he loved you, Ron and Neko so much and was so happy to be with you and then to have a new sister to love after Neko crossed. You fought the good fight and now you must give him that gift we all dread. Bless you for not letting him suffer. Pancreatic cancer is so awful - I let my sweet calico, Nemesis, go too long and her crossing was not peaceful, so I am glad Theo will not have the same fate. In your loving arms, in his beloved solarium - we should all have so lovely a crossing. I hope Neko will be kind when she sees him again - he loves her so. They will await you and Ron at the Bridge, knowing that one day you will all be reunited.

My thoughts and prayers are with you now and will be with you tomorrow afternoon and beyond.

:bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
(((Wendy and Ron))) so many prayers for you both as you say au revoir to your darling boy tomorrow. I will be thinking of you, such a tough decision but one taken with the utmost love. Gentle crossing sweet Theo, there will be many old friends to greet you at the Bridge. :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
You and Ron and most of all Theo will be in my thoughts today. How remarkable these kitties are. Theo still had all the love in his heart for you and Ron after 6 years in a shelter and with failed adoptions. What a wonderful gift.

Thank you all. If you could send a little light and love this way at 1:30-1:45 Pacific time tomorrow afternoon, I'd much appreciate it. :bighug: Dr. Sue is coming by tomorrow afternoon. Poor lil guy doesn't look like he is enjoying life. He ate 4 bites of A/D but growled at me later when I tried to assist feed. It looks like his belly is filling up with fluids again. As the vet Dr. Sue said, better now than when his belly feels like a ball of fire.

Today he gets lots of loving, and I'm going to try to give him a little bit of fluids. Not too much, due to the heart murmur. He is still purring at cuddles.

I'm hanging in there, but incredibly sad. I miss my bed companion. He had a rough start to life - I adopted him after he'd spend 6 years at the shelter, with a few time outs for failed adoptions.

I'm so sorry you and he are going through this, Wendy. You did a wonderful thing for him when you brought him home from the shelter and now you're taking care of him again in the kindest, most loving way possible. :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Tears are flowing for you today, just reading this. I'm not as eloquent as others, but I'm so sorry, Wendy. It's never long enough that we have them. Prayers and hugs going your way:bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Wendy I am so sorry to hear that it is Theo's time to leave this earth. Prayers to you and Theo. Until you meet him once again at the bridge, RIP beautiful boy. :bighug::bighug:
 
Lots of toughts, prayers and hugs Wendy. I asked Doodles to welcome Theo and I know he'll be happy to see his favorite girl Neko. Just so very sorry. Fly free sweet little Theo :kiss::kiss::bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
(((Wendy)))
Prayers, light and love vines for you, your family and for your Theo during this his next journey. His GA family and friends, I'm sure are welcoming him in full chorus.
:bighug::bighug::bighug:❤❤❤:bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
You're a very brave and loving kitty-mum, Wendy. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most painful, and you are so wise and caring to send him to where ever it is, where they all wait for us. My heart is heavy.
Love, purrs, and prayer coming to you and Theo today .:bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
(((Wendy & Ron))),
We saw the most beautiful, almost transparent, cloud formations on our paddle late this afternoon. They were like gossamer angel's wings. I like to think that it was Theo, soaring up to the Bridge on his brand new wings. cat_wings>o I spoke to him from my heart.
Fly free, dear boy. You are much loved.

Sending you many :bighug::bighug::bighug:s this evening.
 
((((((Wendy)))) I am so very sorry that it is Theo's time to go to the bridge. Neko will surly be waiting for him and they will frolic in the sunshine and chase butterflies together and daydream of the time that you will all be united. Sending lots of love and light to you, Theo and Ron.

:bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Thank you all. I’m sure you know how important all this support is in a time like this. And I can't thank you enough for all the vines for sunshine. It had been a miserable wet day yesterday and this morning, but the sun came out 1/2 hour before Dr. Sue and her tech came over. Theo and I spent the morning hanging together on our bed. When the sun showed up, I took him out to the solarium. He was on my lap for a while, but didn’t last – too uncomfortable with his big belly. He watched the outside for a while, then got into his bed. It’s the same bed Neko liked at the end. That’s where he was when Dr. Sue showed up. It was very peaceful, quiet passing. Dr. Sue noticed how big his belly had gotten, bigger than when she last saw him, which was before it was drained. She thought the timing was good – but she’s all about choosing a time before it hurts.

As Dr. Sue said, it felt like the end of an era. Which it is. It is the closure of the final chapter of Neko and Theo. Ron and I drove him to the pet crematorium. Theo will get a black urn to Neko’s white.

It is so very, very hard to say goodbye to someone you love so much--I am so sorry. It is clear what a special cat he was. Such a big transition for all of you! I don't know you well, but I'm sending hugs anyway, and lots of wishes for comfort and good memories of your sweet Theo.
 
Tears flowing for you! Safe travels Theo you were a very strong boy and will always be in your mommas heart. I will light a candle in Theo's memory!
 
Such a loss, such a sad day to have to say goodbye to your beloved Theo. Sending hugs your way. May Theo be free of pain, surrounded by the same great love and peace as he shared with you. :bighug::bighug::bighug:
