This May Be Our Last Day with Jerry.....

Our hearts are breaking again. Jerry our little rescued kitty who was left outdoors or dumped by his owner at the age of 12+ and after being declawed is dying today. I can't stop crying. We have only had him for 9 months or so.....but after seeing what this poor little boy has been through, and knowing him like we have come to know him, we couldn't love this sweet cat more if we had had him since he was a kitten. Jerry was nothing but bones when he was rescued last summer. He was sick at that time and we welcomed him into our home. Thank you God for bringing this beautiful being into our lives! He was diagnosed with cancer in September and we started him on chemotherapy. We had to, the poor little thing had been on his own with no claws and no one to care for him for a while....he deserved to have someone love and care for him again. We did. We love him so much. Things went okay for a while....but he began to decline and now he is in the hospital and is close to death. He probably will not live much longer and we will have to make the decision to end his life. It is killing me. I don't understand why this has to happen. He has never had much of anything and now he has to die. Please pray for his sweet soul. I can't stop crying.
