In reply to the discussion: I have to have my kitty put to sleep this afternoon. [View all]Hatchling
(2,323 posts)41. Thank you all for your kind support.
It was really hard because as a senior on a fixed income, I couldn't afford the $100 dollars to be with him at the end.
I took him to the San Diego County Animal Shelter where it was only $10. The minute I walked in I felt relief. All the staff was so supportive and the place was bright and airy not dingy and dirty as I had imagined. I saw how they were dealing with other animals, getting them their shots and microchips so I realized this was a caring place. When the staff member came to take him away she told me not to worry that she would stay with him the whole time.

So very sorry. Is there anything the vets can do? Do they think it's cancer?

I'm sorry, Hatchling. I had to euthanize my beloved doggy girl, Tallulah on Tuesday.
