I just spoke to the specialist, and little Albert is in kidney failure. More than likely I will have to put him to sleep before I go out of town Thursday for the Estes Park Wool market. Which means I’ll have to do it tomorrow.
I can’t tell you how upset I am about this. He’s so sweet and only about a year old. He has only been in my life for maybe 3 months, but I’ve grown very attached to him.
Oh, Traci, I am so sorry; this just sucks. I'll keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm so very very sorry Traci…
I am so very sorry. It is a hard thing to do. And I love the large picture of you with your cat. I'm sure he's grateful to have found you.
Oh Traci, I'm so sorry too. I was so hoping it would be better news. My thoughts are with you. Be strong; let them allow you to hold him, even if you can't speak, he'll know. All our love & purrs to you both.
I feel your pain deep down to my bones. My beloved cat has been sick with pancreatitis and now thyroid issues over the last month. When I see his sad face I just wish I could comfort him even more. Your kitty is lucky to have found you.
So sorry to hear this. It is tough to loose a pet since to people like us there are really a part of the family.
I had a kitty that I only had for about the same time. She got FIP and passed before she had her 1st birthday.
Hi, Traci. I am sooooo sooooo sooooo sorry to hear about Albert's condition. It's tough having to be the responsible caregiver during times like this. I am glad, though, that you and Albert got to meet and share happiness and joy together. My thoughts are with you!
I am so sorry Traci – between one thing and another, this is the last thing in the world that you need. Thinking of you both…
Traci, I am so sorry to hear this! It is just heartbreaking. I am sure you gave him some special happiness that only you can provide during this short time — and he did the same for you! Nothing makes it better, though.
Traci, I am so sorry. Thinking of you and Albert…
My heart goes out to you and little Albert – I am so sorry about all of this. He was blessed to find you, even if it was only for a short while – you've given him love these past few months that he might not have known otherwise.
I am so sorry..it's hard to do the right thing sometimes, but I am sure Albert knows and appreciates he has had so much love from you whilst he has been with you. I will light a candle for Albert and you,
Sweet Traci, I'm so sorry for you… I send you warm hugs and love…
soul hugs
Having been through this with one of my kitties, my heart goes out to you, Traci. Little Albert was so lucky to have had you in his life.
Oh Traci, I'm so sorry. I had to make this decision last year and it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. They are our little furry children, after all. Time will heal.

Just read this post – Traci, so very sorry – know how difficult a decision this is – time in our lives with our animals doesn't matter – the fact that they were with us and touched your loving heart does – sending thoughts and prayers to you both from me, Elvis and Vinnie (my elderly cat boys) xo reva (Los Angeles)

I am so sorry about Albert. I adopted a rescue dog 6 months ago and can imagine the pain I would feel losing her. Be comforted about giving him a loving home for the time he had left. It is just as hard to lose a pet as any other member of the family. Allow yourself the same path for grieving your loss.
