SOS MIOW

This sweet boy was found by one of our volunteers in St-Lazare, quite thin and hungry. Following examination by our vet, it was determined that he was already neutered (probably dumped by somone who had moved). Jimmy had a wonderful personality and was full of love ..... a trait that seems inherent in many orange cats.
His foster family fell under his spell and adopted Jimmy where he spent a blissful couple of weeks in their care. Without warning, he began to pass blood in his stools and vomit. He also began having respiratory problems.
Following a more thorough exam by our vet (including xrays), we found out that part of his bowels were twisted up into his chest cavity and were lodged between his heart and lungs. There was nothing we could do for him but send him over the Rainbow Bridge.
I shed a tear for each and every rescue that we save, only to lose to disease or severe physical conditions that make their quality of life hopeless.
R.I.P. sweet Jimmy .....
