Blue came to The Ginger Cat House Rescue in mid-May 2023 at 7-8 weeks old. His story has been tugging at their heartstrings ever since.
Blue had been given adult flea treatments before he came to The Ginger Cat House Rescue which permanently damaged his kidneys. Because his blood tests results were so poor, he began having sub-cutaneous fluids administered 4 times a day. Then just when it was considered there was no hope, the vets recommended a new procedure and he began having dialysis weekly. However, Blue was also suffering from constipation, because his body was not processing food properly, and he had to be given regular enemas.
At first the dialysis worked well, but after a few weeks his tiny body was no longer able to keep the tubes in and the vets advised that Blue be placed on palliative care with pain medication. He was up and down, one minute seeming bright and the next flat. Under the careful care of Julie his foster mum and volunteer Jackie he was defying all the odds, he loved going outside, having regular healing sessions with Erica, and he was the VIP guest at our most recent Cat Cafe.
Sadly, Julie saw that he was struggling and we made the really difficult decision to let him sleep on 31 August, with Julie, Lee , June & Jackie at his side and the help of CT Vets. His poor tiny body couldn’t cope any more, but he passed away peacefully.
We are all devastated at his loss, this brave little boy captured all of our hearts. RIP Blue, rest now.
