TW Pet death
Melbcat had too many health issues for treatment to give her a good quality of life. She was peacefully put to sleep while I held her. Thank you for all your well wishes and for loving her too.π«π«π«π«π«π«π«π« Iβm so sorry. Youβve done your best. She is now in a painless place watching over you.
Nothing else to add but we loved her too. Rest now little one. No more pain. And to go out being held in all that love you have for her is a gift. Now you rest and be gentle and scream into this void all you need. You did good Melba
I hope you're doing alright. You cared for her so much and gave her the best possible life a cat could ask for
I'm so sorry Melba, sending you all my love πππ
πππ I'm so sorry. Please be kind to yourself, you did all you could do
Sending you so much gentle love, Melba. She was so deeply cared for by you, so incredibly loved. You made every decision with the best of intentions for her. Please take care of yourself, grieve but know you did everything out of love for her. Rest well, little one.
Iβm so so sorry. Itβs devastating loosing a pet. It will be so hard, but you know that she was loved and cared for, the best life a cat could have. Sending hugs.
Iβm so sorry, you gave her an incredible life. Just know weβre all here to support you during this time.
Sending so much love and my condolences. You gave her the best life possible. Being there with her in the end would have been such a comfort.
