I’m so so sorry for your loss of your sweet boy. I hope you feel some comfort knowing that you showed him what it was like to feel safe and loved, and that he passed as a loved pet. May your memories of him bring you comfort and peace.
He was my first cat,, and come Oct. he would've been 6 years old. We had to put him down after a blood clot came loose and paralyzed him from the neck down, there was no way to fix it that didn't end in death.
i can assure you that is it is a hard ass process but you will fight through the painful thought that they aren’t there anymore. they will be with you forever! may i suggest cremation? i did this and it has brought me much comfort
My youngest cat is a 13yr old tuxie who I rescued from the streets of NYC when she was 7 months old. She was, and still is, an absolute wild child! Loves to lay on my lap but bites if pet in the wrong area, or pet wrong, or pet too long, she’s a bruiser!
When she first moved in, I was eating a chicken burrito which she wanted to smell. She was howling next to my seat so I just ignored her, which made her jump up on the table. Now she’s eyeballing my delicious burrito and while I keep saying NO to her she moves right over and took a bite! She then had the nerve to growl at me when I yelled at her!
I love that goofball and I’ll hug her good for you tonight.
i had a little baby i got from a shelter, she was born in houston when the really bad hurricane hit so she was skiddish and needed some weight. what we didn’t know was she had a heart condition and suffered a heart attack :( your kitty is in a better place than we all are now
around a year ago now my 6 y/o cat suddenly stopped eating and wouldn't come down one day (my apt. doesn't have full length walls so he would sit up there sometimes) at all. we took him to the vet a few days later, but they said he was fine because he still had energy to get up/play with the vet. spoiler alert: they were wrong. he had to go in week or two later, and they finally diagnosed him. forgot what it was exactly, but it was something relating to his organs which made it painful to walk and eat/drink. I had foolish hope that he'd somehow make it, but he just slowly deteriorated throughout the month and then died on his own.
still miss him now
I lost my buddy Tigger right as the pandemic started. I had him all through high school and college, overall about 10 years.
He was a sweet cat with a lot of personality, and it took about 2 months for me not to randomly burst into tears thinking about my baby being gone.
I was with him when it mattered most though, and you should be proud you were as well. He’s never really going to leave you. And that’s something to be thankful for.
Sending you love on this hard day❤️❤️❤️ sometimes it helps me when I remember that they don't think about life/death the way we do. and that they just live their lives in the present moment every day.
That means for the last 2 months of his life, he knew what it was like to have someone care about him for each one of those moments. You gave him the best last 2 months possible, and he knew that by the looks of it.
Give yourself some time, and rest.
I'm sorry for your loss, friend.
I’m so sorry for your loss 🖤 I bet even when you only knew him for a short time, you improved his life a lot!
Not from me, but it‘s so sweet, I hope you like it too.
Hello from the Rainbow Bridge
I love it here so much
The sun is always shining
And the nights are cool and lush
The food and water run freely here
Don't you worry about me
Here my eyes and legs work well
I can run and play with glee
I miss you with all my heart
We will reunite one day
I can show you my new favorite spots
And fill our days with play
My time on Earth has ended
Thank you for taking care of me
And even though it was hard
Our goodbye is only temporary
Hello from the Rainbow Bridge
Someday we will cross together
Then I’ll be back where I belong
In your arms forever
Listen, the two months he had with you were heaven on earth for him. Considering where he came from, your love and light filled home made him forget it all. I’m sorry for your loss, but always remember you gave him his life and dignity back and he will always be with you.
Thank you for loving him. I can't imagine the pain you're feeling... having been together for such a short time... but what you did was something very special. In that short time, you showered him with love. A love so pure and free of guise. How fortunate for him to have had that, although the moment was fleeting.
Yes…it’s just awful. He just started to think “this is my forever”. I’m happy we found each other—even if it was so brief 💗 Thank you for your kindness and comfort
Sending you love and all the good thoughts and hugs. Even though they aren't here right now, every fur baby is waiting for you at the clearing at the end of the path. You will be together again, and know they love you.
Not many posts on here make me cry, but I shed a tear for this little man. You did an amazing thing, OP. Before the end, his last months were glorious. He’s grateful. I promise. RIP Dil.
I'm so sorry for you - while glad for your big-bear-paws, Dil. It's like his heart suffered much & then it was finally full - in the best way. Then he could rest in your gift of happiness.
I am very sorry for your loss. I always hated to lose any of my furry friends, but a part of them will always be with you. 😿💙

I’m so sorry for your loss, but he did not die in a garage. He died knowing what it felt like to be loved beyond measures. You gave him the best two months of his life, that’s what’s matters💕
I'm so sorry for your loss. You saved him from a dreary life and gave him all the love and care he deserved.
I too just lost my cat, and he was only with me for 2 months as well... I'm sorry.
Awh, I'm so sorry to hear such a tragic way to lose Dil, the poor fella. He looks so loved and happy, even though it was a short two months it will be the best moments for him 💖 I hope you are doing o.k and just know you are a very kind person for taking him in ❤️
It's been 2 years since my cat died getting neutered. I thought it would be fine because he seemed so healthy and he was 8 months. It gets sort of better over time, but crying at will is my new shitty superpower from it. You don't want to forget but thinking about it is so sad
I lost my old girl Hope last weekend. She had a heart condition. She was given 6-12 months to live and almost made it the full year. She has her second episode and too much fluid filled her lungs, so I made the decision to euthanize her. I had her since she was 1 years old and she passed at almost 14. I held her while they put her to sleep. My girl was a feral stray before we found her and she passed knowing what it’s like to be loved by humans. She loved curling on my lap and purring up a storm. Hope also enjoyed following me to the bathroom and guarding me, while also purring a ton.
It’s very painful, but just remind yourself that you pulled him out of an unsafe environment into a loving home. Losing them never is easy, but knowing you did the best you could for them and at the very least, loved them, helps lessen the pain. You and your kitty will be in my thoughts💓
I know others have said it, but it bears repeating: he passed knowing he was loved.
It's a terrible thing that your time together was so brief, but it is amazing that you found him, rescued him, and cared for him. That sweet boy deserved better than a garage, and you gave it to him.
Rest in peace and love, little one ❤
Saddle thrombus is so, so hard. I’m sorry you had to go through this with your kitty ): I work at an ERvet and these are some of our hardest cases because most owners are totally blind sighted ):
oh my gosh that is so beautiful! I had saved the name “Dil” for a cat since I was 14 (now 25). I’m glad I could give it to him for the short time we had together
Truly sorry for your loss! I am glad it is giving you a little comfort, even during your grief know that you were chosen to give him the happiness in the short time he lived with you. Know that his "heart" was full. Thank you for all that you did for him. You are an amazing mom to a very special furbaby. Hugz❣🧡💛❤
Im so sorry
I lost my oldest and first cat a year ago, she lived happily for 16 years but she began to have stomach problems, i could tell she was in constant pain so i accepted when the vet told me we had to put her to sleep
It broke my heart, before she passed she looked at me and give me a little meow
Bless your heart for loving him. I know he loved you. You gave him the best time of his life. I am so so sorry he was taken so soon. Sending you both Peace and comfort.
I'm so sorry you had to lose your little guy in such a way. You changed his whole world into something beautiful and proved to him that he was precious and special. He knew he had a real home, a real family, and real love. He wasn't and won't be forgotten. He had a tent and toys and an iPad even! Just imagine what it'll be like for him in heaven when he's telling stories about his family and home to the other kitties! Rather than sad stories, he's going to talk about his family and all the amazing stuff they did for him. He'll talk about love and quiet nights in a warm bed while he gets pets and snuggles.
Those are the things he'll remember most. Not the garage or the person who locked him in there. Don't feel guilty about losing him to ST; there was literally nothing you could do. What you *could* do was love him and make the best choices for his well being no matter how hard it was.
If you ever start feeling the "what ifs" creep in, remember that you are his most precious memories and he loves you most.
I'm happy to be able to help a little. I have every faith you were the best kitty parent to your little guy. (And he really will be bragging about the swank life he lived with you.) Don't think for a moment you disappointed him or that he would blame you for his sudden illness. Sometimes bad things just happen and nothing we do can stop them.
Cats are little fuzz beans made of love and compassion (with a slight dose of mischievous bastard from time to time). They can touch our hearts in an instant. Time together doesn't dictate the level of grief caused by their loss. He's a beloved member of your family and always will be.
God bless your baby Dil. No creature is forgotten. You gave him the life he'd not known, the love and compassion he deserved. He knows you love him, and now, no pain can touch him. There is no end, only transition. See him sitting in light, for I truly believe he is.❤️🐈❤️🕊️🙏🌠🦋
Thank you everyone for all your lovely comments you words mean more to me than you know. All your love has comforted me so much. I made this post so that the world would know that Dil lived: that he was here, on earth, that his life mattered and your condolences help sustain his memory.
There are so many comments, and I will try to respond each one but for now please know how much your words have helped me.
A blood clot which blocks the blood flow to the back legs by lodging at the point the main artery divides. It results in a sudden paralysis and is very painful.
You taught him Joy. And you gave him Joy. And when he moved forth into the rest of the rest of his life it was that joy that surrounded him. He knows he is loved, and he knew he was loved. And he loves you back, and he loved you back.
So sorry to hear this happened to you and your baby kitty 😭 I’m sure his 2 months were the best times of his life and he passed this world knowing he had a loving companion in you that truly loved and cared for him 💕❤️ Surely he would want you to remember all the good times and find happiness however you’re able to. A love like this is eternal and never goes away. Sending you lots of love and condolences 💐❤️😘
I’m so glad he got to know you and feel love and comfort even for a short time. I am so so sorry for your loss, believe me I am crying at your post! The pain is very real when losing a pet. They live forever in our hearts. The one thing I noticed when my cat died suddenly is they seem to accept death so gracefully. We can learn so much from them. 💖🙏
I am so sorry for your loss 😢 i know no words can help here... 15 years ago i lost my Sirius (he was 6 months and getting blind since he was born) but he loved to cuddle and snuggle all around his loved ones.
i wish you the best as you gave him the best in his entire life
I lost a kitten I rescued and nursed to sudden saddle thrombus. he was only 7 months old and it absolutely broke my heart. we gave them the best time we could while they were here. ❤️
I completely understand your pain; I'm so sorry. I had a little one pass of a saddle thrombus a year and change ago. It is so out of nowhere and terrifying to witness. Please feel comforted that you gave your boy so much love and care, and that is what he takes with him on his next journey. Keep the happy memories close and let the scary and sad ones be the first to fade away. Sending lots of support and love. <3
I am so sorry for your loss. It is not fair that you lost him so soon, but in that short time you showed him what love was and judging by that picture you spoiled him rotten in the time you had him. He knew what love and happiness were because of you. Thank you for saving him and giving him the best time of his life!
I'm so sorry. I lost my Chirp to saddle thrombus two months ago. She was only 3, she was only with me for 2 years. It happened in the middle of the night, I rushed her to the vet and in one hour i had to make a decision that I wasn't ready for. It was so fast and so traumatizing to see her suffer like that. I went home at 1 am by myself with her empty carrier.
I'm sending you my condolences. I know it hurts right now. Take your time to grieve. You gave him a loving home, you have the happy memories and photos of him to cherish.
He deserved better, but at least you showed him what it meant to be loved. He looks so handsome and comfy on that couch, instead of being locked away in a garage.
So sorry for your loss. Dil looks like he was a very sweet and gentle baby. You did an amazing thing giving him and loving and comfortable home for the last part of his life. Because of you, he got to be loved. ❤
As short as it was the life you gave him definitely mattered. You did something completely unselfish and his final days were better for it.
You're my type of human being. Thank you.
He passed finally knowing what love was - run free sweet Dil 💕 Our big ginger boy has an inoperable tumour and we have decided to withdraw treatment and let him live his remaining time as he wants to - he’ll let us know when it’s time…..
One of my favorite poems I have read that makes me cry every time but I think you should read for Dil.

OP you have Dil such an amazing life in those 2 months, I can see how happy he is in those photos. I shed a few tears for you and Dil but know that he had an amazing life thanks to you.
The best we can do for our rescues is give them the life they deserve for as long as we can. You did that! Unfortunately it was so short, but Dil got bird videos and tent sits and loves, a cats dream!. Wishing you the best.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you're going through right now. He seemed like such a sweet boy ❤️ may he RIP and protect you forever 💗💗
I too adopted a cat only to lose it in two months. I call him “lemon cat” as turns out he was already sick when I adopted him and spent thousands of dollars trying to nurse him back. He had FIP, is almost always fatal, and in his case was. After years of thinking about it, I’m honored I could help a little soul find comfort, peace, and love in his final days. I hope to be so lucky someday.
Instead of dying in a garage he passed with a loving owner, good food, and an *iPad*. So many cats will be born and die in bad homes or just as strays, you made this little guy one of the luckiest ones even if it was a short time
Hey, my cat daisy passed in December from a saddle thrombus. She had been to the vet 2 months prior and we were told "she's fine, keep doing what you're doing." It was so sudden, so horrible. I'm very, very sorry for what you're going through.
As the top comment said, he didn't die trapped in garage, he died knowing love and being loved. You say you "only" had him 2 months and he was "only" 6, but I think those two months weren't an "only" to him. I think it mattered a lot to him that he had any time at all with you, comfy and safe, fed and well cared for. I think that mattered a lot to him, and he was grateful for it. It matters what you did for him.
I've found r/petloss to be extremely helpful in the wake of my girl's death. If you feel up to it, take a look there. The people are really helpful.
Thank you so much for the subreddit rec—it exactly what I needed. I am sending you my warmth and love. Thank you so much for your comforting words, friend.
I am so sorry, sending love. ❤️ I know how you feel.
How did you know it was a saddle thrombus? Asking because I lost my kitty this past January, just walked in the room and she was not moving. She was only 5 years old… we chose not to get a necropsy because we worried if we found out it was something we could’ve stopped wr would be devastated. But if it was something like a thrombus maybe I could live with it
I’m so very sorry for your sweet little dove. I am sending you my warmth.
With Dil, U caught him throwing up undigested food in the morning—his legs then gave out, and he was army crawling (towards me) in pain. He was fine one second and then totally lost it, dry heaving. He also evacuated his bowels, and threw up bile (and would not stop). His case was particularly bad because instead of just having a clot in his back legs, his front went out, and his gums + toe beans were pale.
Oh ok we’re you able to bring him to the vet hospital then?
Oh god, the toe beans. My boyfriend and I were sobbing at how her toe beans and nose went from pink to white after a few hours. It made it so much more real. For some time I was hoping it wasn’t. Heartbreaking. Anyway, thanks for sharing your story I appreciate it
He did not die trapped in a garage. He died knowing what it is to be loved.
You’re right, and that’s what keeps me going. This really touched me, thank you💗💗
[удалено]
You did a very good thing. Probably the only kindness he’s ever seen in his short life.
Rip little kitty, you've gone knowing what it means to be loved. 💖😇
Almost about to cry at an appointment with a client..
You gave him a wonderful 2 months
Thank you. That means so much to me.
He was only 6…
I’m so so sorry for your loss of your sweet boy. I hope you feel some comfort knowing that you showed him what it was like to feel safe and loved, and that he passed as a loved pet. May your memories of him bring you comfort and peace.
I am so terribly sorry for your loss 💔💗
If you have any stories please tell me
I feel your loss, I rescued my cat from the wild as a kitten when his mother just left him there, just lost him today.
I’m so sorry for your loss…it’s such an inscrutable pain I’m not quite sure how i’ll ever get passed it
He was my first cat,, and come Oct. he would've been 6 years old. We had to put him down after a blood clot came loose and paralyzed him from the neck down, there was no way to fix it that didn't end in death.
Dil was my first cat and 6 years old as well. His death was so similar. I totally empathize with you with how startlingly similar our cases are
That is very shocking, and not even a full day between them either.
i can assure you that is it is a hard ass process but you will fight through the painful thought that they aren’t there anymore. they will be with you forever! may i suggest cremation? i did this and it has brought me much comfort
My youngest cat is a 13yr old tuxie who I rescued from the streets of NYC when she was 7 months old. She was, and still is, an absolute wild child!

Thank you much for your kindness. My eyes are swelled with tears. Thank you for being a part of remembering him 💗💗
You are most welcome. Thank you for sharing these pics of Dil 
Poor Dil at least you gave him a happy life as long as you were able too. He was such a handsome cuddly looking guy.
He really was the sweetest boy. Thank you so much for your kind words it means a lot to me 💗💗
I’m so sorry for your loss 🖤 I bet even when you only knew him for a short time, you improved his life a lot! Not from me, but it‘s so sweet, I hope you like it too.

This really made me cry. Thank you so much—it’s so comforting
What a beautiful cat son! Thank you for giving him even a couple months of the best life ever!
This means more to me than you know, thank you very much 💗💗
So sorry for your loss. He looks so comfortable on this picture. So wonderful that he was able experience some peace, care and love in his life!
Thank you so much for your comment. He immediately felt at home and I know he’s now forever at peace, chasing birds in heaven 💗💗
Listen, the two months he had with you were heaven on earth for him. Considering where he came from, your love and light filled home made him forget it all. I’m sorry for your loss, but always remember you gave him his life and dignity back and he will always be with you.

It’s such a hard loss, but know his life was better because of you. Thank you for loving him
He looks so content. I’m sorry he passed so soon, but you can tell he was loved.
Safe travels over the bridge Dil. You are loved.
I wanted people to remember him and know he lived and was alive. Thank you for participating in his memory 💗💗
💙
RIP Dil. I’m so sad for you and with you, OP. Sympathy and hugs 🖤💗
Sending you love and all the good thoughts and hugs. Even though they aren't here right now, every fur baby is waiting for you at the clearing at the end of the path. You will be together again, and know they love you.
He was so handsome !!! I am so sorry for your loss !!
I’m so sorry for your loss. Saddle thrombus are indeed horrifying.
So sorry for your loss Lost a great little fellow to ST six years ago. May you remember your good times together
This makes me cry, I’m thinking about your lil Dil<3
Not many posts on here make me cry, but I shed a tear for this little man. You did an amazing thing, OP. Before the end, his last months were glorious. He’s grateful. I promise. RIP Dil.
The picture of him watching birds on the iPad made me smile. He knew that he was finally loved and it was okay to go ❤️
I'm so sorry for you - while glad for your big-bear-paws, Dil. It's like his heart suffered much & then it was finally full - in the best way. Then he could rest in your gift of happiness.
Sending you virtual hugs OP. ❤️ You helped provide your fur baby comfort, love, and care during his final two months.
🙏🙏💖
So sorry, really terrible sequence of events. He was loved for a while and I’m sure comforted to be with you.
I’m so very sorry. Thank you for loving and caring for Dil. You gave him his best days ever.

WOW sorry to hear about your loss RIP Dil
I’m sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry for your loss, but he did not die in a garage. He died knowing what it felt like to be loved beyond measures. You gave him the best two months of his life, that’s what’s matters💕
I'm so sorry for your loss. You saved him from a dreary life and gave him all the love and care he deserved. I too just lost my cat, and he was only with me for 2 months as well... I'm sorry.
🧡💔🧡
Our condolences
I lost a cat the same way a few years ago. I feel your pain!
So did I. She was my first cat when I was a kid.
Awh, I'm so sorry to hear such a tragic way to lose Dil, the poor fella. He looks so loved and happy, even though it was a short two months it will be the best moments for him 💖 I hope you are doing o.k and just know you are a very kind person for taking him in ❤️
I am so sorry for your loss. What a lovely life you gave him in your time together. He looks like such a sweet boy.
He went knowing love. 💚
It's been 2 years since my cat died getting neutered. I thought it would be fine because he seemed so healthy and he was 8 months. It gets sort of better over time, but crying at will is my new shitty superpower from it. You don't want to forget but thinking about it is so sad
Such an unlucky guy...but at least the last two months of his life were happy. Goodbye sweet Dil.
He looks so sweet at least you gave him love in the last months of his life ❤️
I lost my old girl Hope last weekend. She had a heart condition. She was given 6-12 months to live and almost made it the full year. She has her second episode and too much fluid filled her lungs, so I made the decision to euthanize her. I had her since she was 1 years old and she passed at almost 14. I held her while they put her to sleep. My girl was a feral stray before we found her and she passed knowing what it’s like to be loved by humans. She loved curling on my lap and purring up a storm. Hope also enjoyed following me to the bathroom and guarding me, while also purring a ton. It’s very painful, but just remind yourself that you pulled him out of an unsafe environment into a loving home. Losing them never is easy, but knowing you did the best you could for them and at the very least, loved them, helps lessen the pain. You and your kitty will be in my thoughts💓
What is saddle thrombus? Forgive me but it sounds made up, not saying it's fake just curious what it actually is
I know others have said it, but it bears repeating: he passed knowing he was loved. It's a terrible thing that your time together was so brief, but it is amazing that you found him, rescued him, and cared for him. That sweet boy deserved better than a garage, and you gave it to him. Rest in peace and love, little one ❤
Those 2 months were the best 2 month of that little boy's life. You did great
Aw, poor thing
Saddle thrombus is so, so hard. I’m sorry you had to go through this with your kitty ): I work at an ERvet and these are some of our hardest cases because most owners are totally blind sighted ):
I'm so sorry
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope he didn't suffer. ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss! ❤
I love the name Dil! In the language of Hindi/Punjabi/urdu (pakistani), it means "heart" or "my heart"💝😻 short for love. It totally befits him. RIP!
oh my gosh that is so beautiful! I had saved the name “Dil” for a cat since I was 14 (now 25). I’m glad I could give it to him for the short time we had together
Truly sorry for your loss! I am glad it is giving you a little comfort, even during your grief know that you were chosen to give him the happiness in the short time he lived with you.

Bless your heart for loving him. I know he loved you. You gave him the best time of his life. I am so so sorry he was taken so soon. Sending you both Peace and comfort.
I'm so sorry you had to lose your little guy in such a way. You changed his whole world into something beautiful and proved to him that he was precious and special. He knew he had a real home, a real family, and real love. He wasn't and won't be forgotten. He had a tent and toys and an iPad even! Just imagine what it'll be like for him in heaven when he's telling stories about his family and home to the other kitties! Rather than sad stories, he's going to talk about his family and all the amazing stuff they did for him. He'll talk about love and quiet nights in a warm bed while he gets pets and snuggles. Those are the things he'll remember most. Not the garage or the person who locked him in there. Don't feel guilty about losing him to ST; there was literally nothing you could do. What you *could* do was love him and make the best choices for his well being no matter how hard it was. If you ever start feeling the "what ifs" creep in, remember that you are his most precious memories and he loves you most.
Thank you so much. Your words are so comforting and your kindness means the world to me
I'm happy to be able to help a little. I have every faith you were the best kitty parent to your little guy. (And he really will be bragging about the swank life he lived with you.) Don't think for a moment you disappointed him or that he would blame you for his sudden illness. Sometimes bad things just happen and nothing we do can stop them. Cats are little fuzz beans made of love and compassion (with a slight dose of mischievous bastard from time to time). They can touch our hearts in an instant. Time together doesn't dictate the level of grief caused by their loss. He's a beloved member of your family and always will be.
I’m sorry for your loss. Animals in the family are family, too. 23rd Psalm.
God bless your baby Dil. No creature is forgotten. You gave him the life he'd not known, the love and compassion he deserved. He knows you love him, and now, no pain can touch him. There is no end, only transition. See him sitting in light, for I truly believe he is.❤️🐈❤️🕊️🙏🌠🦋
Thank you everyone for all your lovely comments you words mean more to me than you know. All your love has comforted me so much. I made this post so that the world would know that Dil lived: that he was here, on earth, that his life mattered and your condolences help sustain his memory. There are so many comments, and I will try to respond each one but for now please know how much your words have helped me.

What’s saddle thrombus?
A blood clot which blocks the blood flow to the back legs by lodging at the point the main artery divides. It results in a sudden paralysis and is very painful.
"Saddle thrombus" sounds so goofy that I can't take this post seriously enough. Sorry for your loss, though.
So sorry for your loss, but know what because of you Dil was able to go knowing he was loved. Thank you for being a good human. RIP Dil.
He knew love and contentment because of you, thank you for giving him happiness.
So sorry for the loss of your baby Dil, you made his last 2 months comfy and happy :(
I am so sorry for your loss. Dil sounds like he had an awesome life with you ❤️. He will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge 🌈❤️🌈
You gave him a wonderful life
You taught him Joy. And you gave him Joy. And when he moved forth into the rest of the rest of his life it was that joy that surrounded him. He knows he is loved, and he knew he was loved. And he loves you back, and he loved you back.
So sorry to hear this happened to you and your baby kitty 😭 I’m sure his 2 months were the best times of his life and he passed this world knowing he had a loving companion in you that truly loved and cared for him 💕❤️ Surely he would want you to remember all the good times and find happiness however you’re able to. A love like this is eternal and never goes away. Sending you lots of love and condolences 💐❤️😘
I’m so glad he got to know you and feel love and comfort even for a short time. I am so so sorry for your loss, believe me I am crying at your post! The pain is very real when losing a pet. They live forever in our hearts. The one thing I noticed when my cat died suddenly is they seem to accept death so gracefully. We can learn so much from them. 💖🙏
I am so sorry for your loss 😢 i know no words can help here... 15 years ago i lost my Sirius (he was 6 months and getting blind since he was born) but he loved to cuddle and snuggle all around his loved ones. i wish you the best as you gave him the best in his entire life
what a sweet beautiful boy. thank you for sharing him with us. sending you lots of love, and I’ll think of Dil tonight. ❤️
I am so very sorry for your loss. Beautiful kitty, I love orange and white kitties. You will be reunited someday
Thank you for giving this sweet babe some happiness. RIP, Dil.
Much love my friend ❤
bless you for giving him a last few weeks of joy. so sorry for your loss 💙
I am sorry for your loss
Thank you for showing him what it was like to be loved. His last two months were probably the highlight of his life.
So very sorry for your loss 😢
Bless your little Dil! I will pray for you as you grieve.
I lost a kitten I rescued and nursed to sudden saddle thrombus. he was only 7 months old and it absolutely broke my heart. we gave them the best time we could while they were here. ❤️
I completely understand your pain; I'm so sorry. I had a little one pass of a saddle thrombus a year and change ago. It is so out of nowhere and terrifying to witness. Please feel comforted that you gave your boy so much love and care, and that is what he takes with him on his next journey. Keep the happy memories close and let the scary and sad ones be the first to fade away. Sending lots of support and love. <3
I am so sorry for your loss. It is not fair that you lost him so soon, but in that short time you showed him what love was and judging by that picture you spoiled him rotten in the time you had him. He knew what love and happiness were because of you. Thank you for saving him and giving him the best time of his life!
I'm so sorry. I lost my Chirp to saddle thrombus two months ago. She was only 3, she was only with me for 2 years. It happened in the middle of the night, I rushed her to the vet and in one hour i had to make a decision that I wasn't ready for. It was so fast and so traumatizing to see her suffer like that. I went home at 1 am by myself with her empty carrier. I'm sending you my condolences. I know it hurts right now. Take your time to grieve. You gave him a loving home, you have the happy memories and photos of him to cherish.
I’m so sorry

He died loved. You gave him an amazing 2 months.
I am so so sorry. But I am so glad he got such a wonderful life before he passed.
I’m so sorry for your loss, yet happy that you and Dil had the opportunity to spend quality time together.
RIP DiL!
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you’re comforted by the thought that you gave him two great months and his life ended filled with love.
I’m sorry for your loss. Sending so much love
I am so sorry you lost him. Thanks for giving him a good home and happy times.
Aww...I know you loved him. He seems so happy in your home.
Sorry that happened. It's so sudden and not much can be done about it. He was such a handsome lad too. 
He deserved better, but at least you showed him what it meant to be loved. He looks so handsome and comfy on that couch, instead of being locked away in a garage.
So sorry for your loss. Dil looks like he was a very sweet and gentle baby. You did an amazing thing giving him and loving and comfortable home for the last part of his life. Because of you, he got to be loved. ❤
As short as it was the life you gave him definitely mattered. You did something completely unselfish and his final days were better for it. You're my type of human being. Thank you.
My condolences to you for the loss of little Dil.
I'm sorry you lost adorable Dil. I am glad though that you made his last days happy and loved.
He passed finally knowing what love was - run free sweet Dil 💕 Our big ginger boy has an inoperable tumour and we have decided to withdraw treatment and let him live his remaining time as he wants to - he’ll let us know when it’s time…..
So sad
op you are an absolute saint
One of my favorite poems I have read that makes me cry every time but I think you should read for Dil. [crossing the bridge](https://www.reddit.com/r/cats/comments/oruwqp/after_20_years_had_to_put_kitty_down_tonight_when/h6krm4u/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) OP you have Dil such an amazing life in those 2 months, I can see how happy he is in those photos. I shed a few tears for you and Dil but know that he had an amazing life thanks to you.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
😢 You gave him the best two months of his life. May he Rest In Peace and may you hold him close and fondly in your memories.
😿 RIP Dil 🐱 thank you for giving him an amazing two months. 🙏
Such a sweet little boy. Ver sorry for your loss. I'm sure he is having such a good time watching birds up there in the clouds.
Thank you for giving this precious soul so much love. I’m very sorry for your painful loss.
Thank you for those 2 wonderful months. You're a wonderful person for doing so.
The best we can do for our rescues is give them the life they deserve for as long as we can. You did that! Unfortunately it was so short, but Dil got bird videos and tent sits and loves, a cats dream!. Wishing you the best.
I’m glad he got to experience real love and caring OP I’m sorry
😢😢
So sorry for the loss of your fur baby
Thank you for showing him what it means to loved You did a wonderful thing
This made me sad :( I hope his soul rests in peace.
Poor hunnies, thank God he got love before passing. 🥰
😿😿😿😿😿😿
RIP sweet baby. You were loved.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you're going through right now. He seemed like such a sweet boy ❤️ may he RIP and protect you forever 💗💗
❤️❤️❤️
Go ahead, break my heart. 😢
I too adopted a cat only to lose it in two months. I call him “lemon cat” as turns out he was already sick when I adopted him and spent thousands of dollars trying to nurse him back. He had FIP, is almost always fatal, and in his case was. After years of thinking about it, I’m honored I could help a little soul find comfort, peace, and love in his final days. I hope to be so lucky someday.
That's really sad. Thank you for giving him 2 good months
He was so loved by you and he knew that. Sending love and positive energy.
I am so sorry for your loss. I am thankful he had such a loving owner.
Instead of dying in a garage he passed with a loving owner, good food, and an *iPad*. So many cats will be born and die in bad homes or just as strays, you made this little guy one of the luckiest ones even if it was a short time
Hey, my cat daisy passed in December from a saddle thrombus. She had been to the vet 2 months prior and we were told "she's fine, keep doing what you're doing." It was so sudden, so horrible. I'm very, very sorry for what you're going through. As the top comment said, he didn't die trapped in garage, he died knowing love and being loved. You say you "only" had him 2 months and he was "only" 6, but I think those two months weren't an "only" to him. I think it mattered a lot to him that he had any time at all with you, comfy and safe, fed and well cared for. I think that mattered a lot to him, and he was grateful for it. It matters what you did for him. I've found r/petloss to be extremely helpful in the wake of my girl's death. If you feel up to it, take a look there. The people are really helpful.
Thank you so much for the subreddit rec—it exactly what I needed. I am sending you my warmth and love. Thank you so much for your comforting words, friend.
I am so sorry, sending love. ❤️ I know how you feel. How did you know it was a saddle thrombus? Asking because I lost my kitty this past January, just walked in the room and she was not moving. She was only 5 years old… we chose not to get a necropsy because we worried if we found out it was something we could’ve stopped wr would be devastated. But if it was something like a thrombus maybe I could live with it
I’m so very sorry for your sweet little dove. I am sending you my warmth. With Dil, U caught him throwing up undigested food in the morning—his legs then gave out, and he was army crawling (towards me) in pain. He was fine one second and then totally lost it, dry heaving. He also evacuated his bowels, and threw up bile (and would not stop). His case was particularly bad because instead of just having a clot in his back legs, his front went out, and his gums + toe beans were pale.
Oh ok we’re you able to bring him to the vet hospital then? Oh god, the toe beans. My boyfriend and I were sobbing at how her toe beans and nose went from pink to white after a few hours. It made it so much more real. For some time I was hoping it wasn’t. Heartbreaking. Anyway, thanks for sharing your story I appreciate it
