I was devastated, he suffered a bit, and I couldn't get him to the vet in time so on my way out to my car he died in my arms. This is the part about owning these sweet fur babies that I really hate. But I wouldn't trade my 15 years with this gentle giant of a cat for anything in the world. The other bad news is that I won't get a chance to foster again for awhile but the good news is that's because we've decided to adopt Big Red! He has turned out to be the best cat! He's loving, sweet, playful, not mischievous at all and he loves my fiance! yay!
