Hi friends. This is Benji's mom. It has taken me a while before I felt I could announce this here, but we lost Benji on Good Friday to kidney failure. Since Covid, he had not been visiting any of the Assisted Living homes and I heard he was greatly missed, but we did what was required of us at that time.
As he got older, I think he preferred to be a home body and I respected his wishes. However, he started to develop kidney problems a few years ago.
I did everything I could and was told to do by my veterinarian to stop the disease from growing, but ultimately, the disease won.
On Friday, April 29, 2024, he could not move and I brought him to an emergency room. They were wonderful and did everything possible but he had three seizures and there was not much hope.
I reluctantly said good bye to him inasmuch as I didn't want to and even though it upset me more than anything. He was not quite 14 years old which is not very old for a cat.
:(
I know he is missed by his family and friends and the people at the assisted living home who loved him.
Romp over The Rainbow Bridge sweet Benji. Our beloved Dr. Tracy is there and I know she will look out for you. Love to you from mama Marla, brothers Oliver and Tristan and sister Phoebe.
