Have you talked to your family and friends about what to do with your pets if you pass away? Have you made plans in your will?
If not, please consider it. You don't want your pets ending up at a shelter or put outside to fend for themselves. Please make a plan
🚨I cannot stress enough the absolute importance of making a plan for your animals in case something happens to you. I get it, no one wants to think about the unthinkable, but please... Have a plan. 😢
Never, ever assume that your family will step up, because they usually don't. We get SO MANY CALLS from relatives of deceased, or incapacitated family members who are looking to rehome cats that were once so loved.
Talk to your family, make a plan, express your wishes. Start an account for boarding to give them more time to find proper placement if need be. Discuss options. Put your wishes in your will so there is no debate!
Meet Wobble. Brought to us because his mom passed away a couple weeks ago. We can't even fathom how he ended up like this. Was he sick before his owner passed and she couldn't get him to a vet due to health or financial reasons? Was he healthy and the stress of losing his owner made him sick? Why did no one take him to the vet when they realized he was in trouble? So many unanswered questions.
He is ataxic (wobbly), has a severe head tilt, skin and bone, has a major respiratory infection, and is so matted he will be lucky to have any hair left when all is said and done.
Our hearts broke when we saw him. He isn't skinny because he was too sick to eat. When presented with food, he ate like he was starving. Were the other cats bullying him from the food? Was he being fed wet food since he has no teeth?
Four other cats from the same home are seeking placement but they are healthy and we are unable to take them due to space.
We don't know if he will make it. Prayers needed.
For the sake of your beloved pets, please have a plan. We will keep you updated as we find out more from the vet.
