Been a long day and our hearts hurt.
Our Moe update is not at all what we had hoped for.
Midweek last week, Moe started to lose his appetite. Brought him to the vet where he was hospitalized for diagnostics and critical care. He was doing okay up until last night when his body started to decline.
By this morning, Moe's abdomen and chest were filling up with fluid. Draining the fluid was a temporary fix and he was quickly filling up again.
Moe was in organ failure. He was in distress, and we had to help him. He was peacefully put to sleep with us by his side midday today. 💔
We wish there was a really cool quote or something magical to say to make it make sense. Less than a week ago we were laughing while under-toe-Moe was trying to trip us as we walked across the room. Tonight, it feels very quiet at our Adoption Center. The house is filled with 40 other cats who are all amazing and fun and loving - but Moe's absence is huge and largely felt.
💔😩
Prior to us rescuing him, Moe was a survivor of a terrible hoarding situation - too many cats, not enough space or resources for the care of those cats, and so they went without. This put all of the cats there in a state of constant wanting, and constant yearning for needs that were not being met. 😩
We are so grateful to know that for the past few months that Moe has been with us, he was finally able to receive all of the food and space and cleanliness and care that he needed to be the happy cat he was always meant to be. He was no longer in a desperate state of wanting.
Everyone here on FB absolutely loved Moe when we first introduced him, and then you followed through with so much love and so many prayers for his well-being when you knew he was not feeling well. All of that was so beautiful to see and experience because it's proof that Moe was not only here - but that he mattered.
Thank you so much for doing that for Moe.
❤️💔
