or ASPCA. The often have pet loss support groups. I found it very comforting after having to put my 22 year old cat to sleep.

You know, we animal lovers sign up to have our hearts broken because we will almost always outlive our pets. Please take some comfort knowing that you gave little Fosco a wonderful life full of love. It may not seem possible now, but someday you will give another furbaby a wonderful life. Take care of yourself.
