My heart is so heavy for you :( I'm so glad you found a vet to come to your home so Jade didn't have to endure a car ride and pass away at the vet and could do it peacefully at home. You gave her a wonderful life, right up until the last moment. Thank God she had you.
Oh Sweetie, my heart is heavy for you. It is such a difficult time. Please know that youa re in my thoughts, my heart and my prayers.
I just wanted you to know i was thinking about you~
I couldn't feel sorrier honey, I feel like a part of our lives have changed. She was the best cat ever wasn't she. Always remember the happy times, and with Jade that was all the time. I know one thing for sure, nothing can ever take her from your heart or memory, that is sealed and you can be with her there. So sorry for your grief my friend, may God softenen it for you. All my love,
i
I am so sorry Jade~ You gave her a beautiful life full of love and happiness. I know in my heart Snickers will be there to show her around the Rainbow Bridge. Sending you love and comfort~ sara
Oh honey, I am so sad for you......it's over, she's no longer hurting and she'll there be so close to your heart forever...
Thankfully it was all peaceful and as easy as this experience can possibly be. Prayers and safe journey to her little kitty soul. I'm just heartbroken too. There will be many tears in days ahead, let them flow. Xoxox
Thank you Sweetheart...xoxo
That was beautiful Pip, thank you so much.
My husband is digging the hole right now. The ground is rock hard with no rain for so long. He's having a hard time getting deep enough.
The experience was easy and peaceful. The Dr was kind, compassionate and soft spoken. She explained everything that was happening. She was here a little less than an hour. She listened to the story of how Jade came to us, and all the illnesses she has endured. We have had Jade for 8yrs 6mos and 1wk today. We were blessed to have her as long as we did. I'm going to miss her so much. I am sick with crying. I am drained and my heart is broken.
Thank you Everyone for making this day easier to endure. My love and appreciate to all of you~ ♥
sending prayers Kola.. Swift Journey Jade you will be missed.. love, lesa
Farewell Jade
Final sunset, for little friend
That last long sleep, has come at last
She has been sent, gently with love
Staying in heart forever more

I feel the love and caring very much, CML. I am so lucky to have you all. The love and support expressed here has lifted me up, and gotten me through the day. You and Opus both express yourselves beautifully and are a huge comfort. It's hard for ME to express in words how much I appreciate all of you.
Pip...yes, this mobile service was suggested by my vet. I googled for reviews on Yelp. All excellent. They have an awesome website that helped me make my decision. I've written all this in journals. I should of posted my own thread over a week ago, but I'm weird about that, it's hard for me. I am grateful to Opus for starting this thread.
Only another hour to go...
Beautifully said, Opus. I am sure you have gone through this yourself and side by side with your loyal posters and friends.
This cannot be easy for you either, dear friend.
What lovely words....'Your final gift to Jade' well said, and how very true.
for no matter how much it breaks our hearts to make this decision....we do it out of love, we are indeed giving them the gift of freedom from suffering
We are all praying for you and little Jade right now, the waiting thru the long final day must be an absolute torture to you.
she will be at peace and forever close by......
Jade knows how much you have loved her all these years and you will feel her presence beside you long after she is physically gone
go in peace little one...we all love you so much♥
I have sent my thoughts in a few personal notes. There is so little anyone can say at a time like this......I hope you can feel the love and caring of our group surrounding you both in those final Peaceful moments.
May Jades spirit forever watch over you........
May you find Peace and comfort in your final gift to Jade!
Love and Blessings to you both!!
It is a comfort that you found a mobile vet so Jade could go peacefully at home.
Thank you Apple and Alison. Jade seems needier today..or like she knows something is up. I've tried my best not to cry in front of her. She hasn't eaten very much at all. I feel more secure in my decision. We spent time watching her favorite winter bird video this morning. She ate a tiny bit after that, then came in to curl up in her sleeping place next to the computer where she still is.
I have a large plastic bag, then a towel on top of that set up on the kitchen table. I wrote out the check (that was hard), and put a Do Not Disturb sign on the door as suggested. Jade will be in my arms, then the Dr will come in quietly to inject the tranquilizer into the scruff of her neck. The point is for the pet to barely be aware there is a stranger here. Then we will move to the table for the final injection. She will be buried in our backyard.
I've kept busy with laundry and chores. Next I will wash my hair which will keep me busy for several hours. The waiting has been torture.
Oh my goodness, I am so, SO sorry. This breaks my heart for you. Definitely sending prayers your way.
For sure I will pray for you dear!!
Me and all my crew of black feline witches and "small magic creatures ' will be praying for you two.
Hope it help a little bit, at least. :-(
Thank you my friend. I am crying too. This seems unreal. I don't have much emotional support in real life. I don't know what I would do without y'alls support and understanding.
I was relieved to read nothing serious with Teia. She will feel much better once all that waste in her colon is removed.
I am crying for you and Jade right now, it is so hard to love these little beings and have to make that decision to do the Final Kindness.
Thank you everyone. Our vet recommended a service that will come to our home this evening to euthanize Jade. I am second guessing if 'today' is the right time though. Faced with it actually happening, I am not ready. I cannot imagine life without her.
I wrote the above before getting a bowl of cereal. Jade has never begged for food, but she is right here sleeping, and hearing me eat, she jumped up and reached her paw to the bowl nearly tipping it. She is straining and practically falling off the desk as I backed up to finish eating. I let her lick up about a tsp of cereal milk. I was up at 3am, and opened a new can of food for her. She was excited to eat like she's been the last month. I could tell how she was sitting after she was going to throw it up...and she did. She is so hungry. There is my answer.
Oh dear, Miss Jade is one of my favorite kitties on this forum, reminds me so much of Miss Teia.
Well I do not want to pry, so I am going to do just as you ask for your dear friend and her baby girl , Jade.
You can always count on me to be ready with prayers and well wishes. I will send a private note , I hope life takes a turn for the better for them both.
They are very special to so many.
Thank you for letting MedHelp friends know they need our prayers.
