On May 20, 2025, at about 1:00 am, I had to make the decision to send Delilah, my heart cat, over the rainbow bridge. She was only 12 years and 9 months old. She has been through everything with me in my adult life. I picked her out at 3 weeks old and took her home at 8 weeks. She is my everything, my soulmate. We have been trying to figure out what was wrong for months. Endless blood tests, urinalysis, X-rays, neurology appointments, medications, and diagnoses. I just wanted to make you better.

Her day of passing also happens to be my mother’s day of passing as well. So I am just absolutely shattered. I took her to the ER vet last night, and it was determined that she was passing away. I had to make the decision to let her go instead of stabilizing, ventilation, transferring to a specialist, etc. It was the hardest, yet somehow quickest decision I’ve ever made. The cost with the visit, private cremation, and a clay paw print was just over $1,000. Days before this happened, David and I purchased a home and are in the process of moving. My car was also just recently hit while parked, and I’ve been dealing with the stress of that. I’ve missed work juggling all these things, and I’m just spread thin. I’m just hoping to make a chunk payment on my credit card to avoid getting nailed with interest rates. If you can’t/don’t want to donate, please just think of my pretty girl. She really truly was my soulmate, and the best cat I’ve ever met. Thank you for reading, and I cannot express my gratitude enough to anyone who donates or thinks of my girl.
