Lynx
3/2020 Lynx is a leukemia positive kitty who came to us
from a humane society in Alabama.
A volunteer reached out to us with the following message in
answer to some questions from me.
“ He is positive. He has been living in a 2x2 kennel in a
quarantine closet with no natural light, interaction, etc.
Literally, he is in the laundry room closet next to the washing
machine. He has ZERO Life quality. He is very loving but
everyone is afraid to touch him.”
OMG, that poor cat! He has been there for a few months
living in those conditions! In their defense they did not kill
him which is pretty normal for many “humane societies”
with a leukemia positive cat and they did spend the money
to properly test him for us to take him. A volunteer and
her finance drove over 10 hours to ring him to us.
He is a super sweet cat, totally chilled. He loves humans,
likes other cats but boy does he dislike dogs. (They had
told us that in one of their emails. He was growling like
crazy at the dogs at our vets office when he went in to be
checked over.
You may watch him 24 hours a day LIVE on his live
camera HERE He is in Building 2, room 2.

Sweet Lynx came to us 7 months ago after living in a tiny cage
for months, stuck in a laundry room with no natural light, no
human contact, nothing at a shelter. A volunteer reached out
to us to see if we could take him, she knew that was not quality
of life for him. A volunteer drove 10 hours to bring him to us.
We knew a few weeks ago this day was racing towards us and
there was nothing we could do to stop it. The leukemia was
awake, he was anemic and losing weight. He still had energy,
he was still eating, he still had a little time. Today we took him
back to the vet to see how his blood work looked, he was losing
weight but still eating.. His mouth was pale, his gums white. I
sadly knew what the answer was going to be. The blood work
showed today needed to be his day. There is no fixing this for
a leukemia positive kitty. I held him in my arms as he crossed
over the rainbow bridge. Leukemia always wins in the end.
He was such a sweet cat. We are very glad he was able to have
7 months of living outside of a cage and knowing what it was
like to be loved and cared for. He will be missed.
