My sweet baby kitty Chrome was sick for a very long time and I couldn’t stand to see her suffer any more… I was still willing to fight and keep her going forever but my baby let us know that it was time. I was stressing so much to try and find someone, ANYONE at NOON to come the SAME DAY, Saturday, BEFORE EASTER to come and help us put her at rest but nobody could come until Sunday or later. I wanted another day with my baby but I didn’t want her to suffer. I didn’t want to scare her and stress her out taking her to the ER vet just to put her to sleep.
I submitted a contact form explaining everything to Compassion Pet Vet and within an hour someone reached out to me to schedule a visit for the very end of the day at 4:00 pm. Dr. Liz worked everything out with me over the phone. She was promptly on time at my apartment much to my bittersweet dismay. My baby didn’t have to suffer anymore and Dr. Liz didn’t make us wait.
It was the hardest decision I ever made in my life but I don’t regret it. Dr. Liz helped Chrome so much in ways I only dreamed her mother and I could her final moments. Dr. Liz catered to every little selfish whim I had, when it came to laying down on the bed with her to holding her in her final moments to even picking her up and putting her in the cat bed once it was all over (I declined after but she was more than supportive.)
God, I hope I never have to do this again and I hope no one ever does ever… but if you’re reading this, know you’re doing the best thing for your pet. They helped me do the best thing for mine.
