I'm very sad to report that around 11:15 this morning my beautiful cat, Jack, was put to sleep forever. He went into heart failure and there was nothing to do but ease his pain.
Jacks age is unknown due to the fact that when I adopted him about 10 years ago he was already an adult and no one know his exact age. The vet guessed he was around the age of 3 at the time of his adoption.
Jack was found at the Humane Society in Bowmanville in a box in the middle of winter. He had frost bite all over his back legs and was very scared. When I adopted him he was at the Pet Smart in Whitby awaiting patiently for a forever home and that is exactly what I gave him. I know I did a good job giving Jack a loving home, plenty of food and all the attention he craved. But Jack gave me so much in return, he loved his people unconditionally, he was just as loyal as a dog and young at heart like a kitten. He taught me responsibility at a young age, and has now taught me how to teach my children about life and death. The vet said to me that the way I explained everything to Liam was beautiful and that we made the right choice.
I'm going to miss you Jack, Mommy loves you!!! Say hi to Lucky for me. I will see you again one day. Thanks for being my kitty XOXOXOXOX

My heart goes out to you and the rest of your family: Morgan, Liam, Hayden, Sniffy, Cleo and Gunner. I know you will all miss Jack terribly. But I know that he loved you just as much as you loved him and he knew just how special he was because of how he WAS loved. For those who've never had the opportunity to enjoy the love of a rescued animal, they're the poorer. Jack will always have a place in your memory and your heart. But then his love will be there for you again someday. Hugs and condolences to all of you!
