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.

My rescue cat Gracie: photo captured six months before she got Cancer.
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?
