Rescue Cats Diagnosed with Cancer:

Out of the 89 cats and kittens that we have rescued and then adopted or placed in a cat colony only two cats were diagnosed with cancer and had to be euthanized last week.   Both cats were my housecats;  one was a rescue from an abandonment and the other was a socialized feral cat. Needless to say my heart is broken.

Her form of cancer came on quickly and she needed to be put down.

The attending veternarian told me that 99% of cats today develop some form of cancer and he also noted that a feral cats life expectancy is two years, an indoor /outdoor cat seven years and a housecat was 17 years.  I guess he was trying to say that my two cats were lucky to have been rescued by me, but it did not make me feel better.

For the last several years I have been feeding all cats holistic food with no soy, corn or grains and giving them bottle water.  I kept my cats indoors to prevent them being exposed to pesticides, but everything that I did was vain because in the end my two cats had cancer.  I keep asking the same question over and over again: Why did these cats get cancer?

Cat Sponsor Booster Shots Agreement

My husband and I rescue many cats and kittens that are abandoned in the woods by our home and most of the time we pay for the cat care out of our pockets.  Occasionally we get civic-minded sponsors who help us with the veterinarian costs or food.  A few months ago my husband and I found newborn kittens that were put in a bag and thrown out like trash.  

We rescued the cats by taking them into our home and away from harm, The cats are cared for. We bottle feed them, helped them to go to the bathroom, groomed them, and kept them safe and warm. When the kittens are older we take them to the veterinarian for a wellness checkup and for kitten boosters/spay or neuter.

I shared the kitten story with neighbors and was delighted when two told me that they would sponsor a set of two kittens each.  Well, the one sponsor did not understand what their responsibility was because when it came time to fulfill their obligation they changed their mind.  But the other neighbor agreed to the terms and sponsoring the kittens was a blessing as money for so many cats at one time was scarce.

Know that all kittens received vaccines and were spayed or neutered.  By doing this we were able to find them forever home families to love and care for them without the worry of veterinarian care.
