We thought telling stories like this one would get easier with time.
But it didn’t.

This is a very sad story about injustice. Please keep reading.

It was Sunday and we were off to visit a small village in the country. Driving along the highway it was a miracle that we noticed the tiny cat on the hard shoulder. She was sitting with her back to the highway traffic, hunched down in the classic posture of a cat in pain.

We pulled over and approached carefully. When we reached to capture her she did not even move, and allowed us to take her into the car.

On our way to the clinic we looked Smoothie over – one of her paws was so swollen the skin had cracked and puss was seeping out; thick discharge was dripping from her nose and had soaked her chest; a terrible cough and strange head twitches constantly shook her little body; and feces covered her backside. Smoothie did not smell right; she smelled like a dying cat.

We left Smoothie in the doctors’ hands and continued along our planned trip, expecting a call from the clinic. At that moment we believed Smoothie was abandoned and had been surviving for days without food, water or shelter, her body order xanax online cheap weakening and starting to give up.

But no, it wasn’t that..

An hour later we received a call from Smoothie’s vet and he had bad news. The little cat was fighting Feline panleukopenia virus, FPV, also called cat plague. FPV is an aggressive viral infection with a very high mortality rate, which can kill in less than 24 hours. Smoothie was anemic, she had secondary pneumonia and a terrible abscess in her paw.

The comprehensive emergency care Smoothie received did not help however, and a few hours later she was gone.

In our world Smoothie would have been a vaccinated, healthy and happy kitten. In our world Smoothie would have been loved, timely treated, and her humans would have stood by her no matter what.

Smoothie was somebody’s pet but then she fell sick, and from a beautiful accessory she turned to an unpleasant liability. When she started dying, her world abandoned her by the highway. We think she must have literally been dropped off minuted before we drove by, because she seemed to still be sitting in the very position she was placed there.

Please be part of our world and SHARE this story. For Smoothie.

    I have no words only tears. What can you say but it is heart breaking. I cannot understand why there is so much hate for animals today. What did they do, all they ever wanted is love, a cuddle, food and to be warm and safe. Part of your family. what is yours is there’s. God Bless this little one, you was so beautiful and hope your mummy there waiting for you.

    My heart breaks for these innocents every day, over and over. They are too good for this world. Why does God let them suffer so?

  3. How very sad… and such a beautiful kitty! I will never understand how people can do this, she deserved MUCH better, but at least she was cared for at the end. Bless x

    When I started reading about Smoothie, I so hoped for a happy ending. But it didn’t end well. At the end I cried. I’ve cried a lot since I started reading and donating for animal rescue teams worldwide. To see innocent souls abandoned, helpless, confused, lonely, sick, neglected or worse makes my heart so heavy. Almost to heavy to bear. But then I think how it must be for these animals, how desperate they are. And that’s the moment when I dry my tears and do what I can do to make this world a better place. For all beings. Thank you for your work. And for the endless efforts and energy and – above all – love and compassion you have for the forgotten ones. RIP dear Smoothie, I wish we could have saved you. Regards from Switzerland. 🙏

  5. God bless this sweet baby.May she rest in peace. So much suffering in so little time. My heart breaks as tears flow. Im so sorry help came too late.

  6. How could people be so cruel to this poor baby? She never asked to be born… She never asked for any of it… She just wanted to be loved, and snuggled… She just wanted to be a normal cat and not have to run and hide constantly… Just be able to cuddle up with her owner and play with her little kitty toys… It just breaks my heart to think someone could just abandon this poor baby… It absolutely shattered my heart when I read this… </3
