Well, two of the neighborhood cats come hunt mice in my back field but I know where they live. They aren't strays. Just curious, why would you prefer to have a cat euthanized by a vet rather than the humane shelter?

If it should have feline leukemia the vet will insist it be euthanized. Personally I would euthanize it if it is diabetic or has thyroid problems but that may not be the choice my son makes. I won't take it as a pet if it has ongoing health issues. I cannot afford that financial drain. Will be interesting to see what happens.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-62533198996784091972016-09-28T19:30:49.653-07:002016-09-28T19:30:49.653-07:00Poor baby!

The skinny might be a result of parasites, or a house kitty that never learned to hunt. Anyway -- I've been through the process of euthanizing a stray that showed up at my place with significant problems. It was as hard as if it had been my own kitty for years. Sigh.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.com
