I spent all morning trying to find a shelter and they were all full or just not willing to take on a sick cat. So, as a final, last course of action, I had the poor thing put down by a local vet. I feel absolutely TERRIBLE that I couldn't show the poor guy a little love before he went. But, I couldn't run the risk of putting my pets in danger. I haven't wanted a drink this badly in months... It's a crying shame that life has to be so cruel, and in doing so has used my hands to enact such cruelty...
You did the right thing. Even if you could afford the vet, they might not have been able to save him. It's always hard playing God by putting an animal down, but I truly think you made the best choice. And karma will smile on you for even taking the time you did with this poor creature. Stay strong!
