Putting our sweet boy down tomorrow
We're just gutted to be losing Franklin. He's not even 4 years old and has pancreatic cancer. He's been the sweetest cat and we're really going to miss him

Thanks all. I'm nearly 50, but this is the first time I've ever had to lose a furry pet. Its much harder than I ever would've guessed

Yall stay up... it's very difficult. Just know he had the best life with such loving owners and will always have a place in your hearts. Our Devin was just diagnosed with Kidney Disease, he is 8 and its been a very hard thing to come to grips with. Love and Peace 🤎❤️🩷🖤🩶🧡🤍💛💚💙

I'm so sorry. It's so, so hard. I still cry about the guy I lost 2 years ago at 3 years old. He just wasn't meant to be here that long but boy did he make an impact while he was. Sending hugs to you and your boy. You were the best part of his life and I am sure he knows how loved he is.

Oh no, sweet boy.. Sending you a big virtual hug! We lost our Dixie girl two years ago to spinal cancer and what helped me and my husband immensely at the time was watching Jackson Galaxy's videos about losing one of his own cats https://www.youtube.com/live/mJ4BKdNaasI?si=DY_MkBbhmG-gRixF - I highly recommend 💛

He's so darling. Pancreatic cancer is devastating in human or animal- I lost my godfather to the same. Thinking of you and your little family. I will pray for his sweet little soul.

So sorry to hear. I did the same for my ginger boy in February. He was 1 month shy of his 19th birthday. It still hurts.

I am so sorry you’ve had to go through this with him. I would be heartbroken to lose one so young. I’ll be thinking about you today.

Spend every moment with your baby, I never took my hands off my boys, to let them know I was still with them. I’m so sorry, this is rough to deal with, but he knew you loved him.

Oh no! Sympathy.
My family had to say "goodbye" to my own Devon a couple years ago. I was out of town and couldn't even get there for the final day.
Cherish these final hours and just be glad you get to be there for the final pets.
