I'm so sorry about Luci. I know how hard it is when the time together is so short. She's a very fortunate girl to have found the two of you to help make her last days ones of love and caring. It's also a blessing that she had someone to help her cross, think of the suffering you averted by getting her off the street. You are wonderful people, when you're up to it you should think about giving another deserving kitty a place in your hearts and home.
Much love,
Nina

I wanted to say thanks for all your input and support. Jim and I took Luci to another vet yesterday. The vet was patient and listened to all we had to say. She did a thorough blood work, x-rays, and listened to her heart. The x-rays showed a cancer thru her lungs and surrounding her heart. Luci had turned anemic and when drawing blood, the blood did not clot. Her bilirubin count was extremely elevated and her white cell count was very low. The cancer had spread to her liver and probably elsewhere. We felt there was nothing that could save her and so did the vet. Her breathing was heavy and due to the cancerous lump, her trachea had been pushed up against her back so she could not get the food down. The vet could have extracted some of the fluid around the lungs and heart but we did not want to see Luci in anymore pain. The decision to put Luci down was e! xtremely difficult. I miss her so much. Thank you for all your support and stay strong with all your children. Thank you,
Kristen and Jim
