Hi all, I just posted on the sick pet area but thought I should do it here too and although my cat didn't die, I feel like he did and am grieving the loss just the same. My cat was sick last week and although he can live many more happy years he is going to require close monitoring and managed care. My work/school schedule does not allow me to be home much and I couldn't care for him the way he needs. So, I found another home for him where he will be given wonderful care. I just miss him and am so sad. I have had pets my whole life and have had them until their end (they either died of natural causes or I had to have them put to sleep). I have never given a pet up before and it breaks my heart. I just was trying to do what was in my cat's best interest. So hard....

I understand why you weren't sure of which Section to post in so you are here and in the Sickness section because your baby has special needs.

I just want you to know I posted my reply in the other section and also see you have more replies there and just wanted you to know...you do have thoughts waiting for you there.

Being torn between a loss and special needs is not easy to deal with but I hope the words there help you.
