My cat has been poisoned

Devastated is an understatement. Charlie began to look dizzy yesterday, I then found him barely conscious, took him to the emergency vets where they concluded he's been poisoned with anti-freeze.

My poor baby is fighting for his life, vet has given him vodka (?!) intravenously but I am feeling horribly miserable after doing some research and learning they often don't recover. He is only 2 and usually healthy. Seeing the vet at 7.30 to find the results of his bloods now they have done everything they can - this will then prompt either further treatment or euthanasia.

I went to warn my neighbours, who informed me their FOUR cats were killed the exact same way, and never told us?!?!? Have informed RSPCA and police. I am really struggling to deal with the fact this is most likely a deliberate poisoning.

Charlie was showing early signs of renal and kidney failure yesterday but has made it through the night and these bloods will tell us if the treatment has helped. Feeling very very sad right now.

I guess I am just posting in the hope that someone knows of a cat who has survived this :( Please keep your fingers crossed for my precious Charlie :(

So sorry Scooby Sad

PuggyMum · 19/06/2012 23:11

Just read this thread and am so sorry to hear about poor Charlie. I'll be signing the petition immediately.

Give me a job inflicting pain on people who hurt animals and children. I swear I'd have a permanent smile on my face x

I hope there is a last minute miracle for Charlie and he makes a good recovery as he certainly put up a good fight.

Wishing you love and strength whatever he outcome. X x

Cunts. There really is no other word that fits.

VivaLeBeaver · 19/06/2012 23:14

I'm so sorry Scooby.

TheInvisiblePoster · 19/06/2012 23:16

Aww so :( Sorry to hear this. xx

Empusa · 19/06/2012 23:16

I am so so sorry :(

RandomMess · 19/06/2012 23:20

So sorry Sad

OneHandWavingFree · 19/06/2012 23:22

So sorry, Scooby. I'm so angry for you, for Charlie, and for your poor little ds having this happen to his family pet on his fourth birthday :( :(

So, so cruel. Angry Angry Angry Angry

He's not in pain anymore. You did every little thing possible for him, and by what you said earlier about his eyes lighting up, he knew that. xx

ScoobyDoo2012 · 19/06/2012 23:23

i feel so so guilty but I just couldn't be there with him, I cannot watch someone do that. He didn't deserve this, whoever did this is pure evil. I don't like dogs, but I would never in a million years wish any harm on one, and am upset at the thought of them being in pain.

My poor poor baby, I just keep thinking, this time last week- he was perfect. His little kidneys were perfect. Someone has snatched him, destroyed him and left my family devastated.

Why is this becoming some sort of sick "trend"? I feel fucking sick.

ThatVikRinA22 · 19/06/2012 23:32

i signed petition too.

MrsApplepants · 19/06/2012 23:35

So sorry xx. Why anyone would do that to an animal is beyond comprehension.

Jux · 19/06/2012 23:36

So so sorry. My heart goes out to you all. Poor, poor Charlie.

Put up the posters with a vengeance. Did you contact RSPCA?

There are some really vile, sick bastards out there.

ScoobyDoo2012 · 19/06/2012 23:39

RSPCA never even called me back, I am going to make a complaint to them tomorrow they were unhelpful and useless.

This will mean my son's birthdays in future will have this awfully painful memory associated with it. Charlie only turned 2 in May, he was only a baby. Our last cat got hit by a car and we got charlie after he died, we were always terrified he'd be killed in the same way and I had read when they turn 2 the chance of being hit fall. It was only last month I remember this with relief.

Uuugh I am so fucking sad and pissed off I don't know what to do with myself!

I am so sorry about Charlie Scooby. He sounded like a fab cat. I shed a little tear when I got to end of thread and found out he didn't make it.

I have signed the petition and shared it on facebook.

My own little cat had a stroke last week. She is slowly pulling through but I have been so worried so I have some inkling of how you have been feeling. I think you did your very best for Charlie x

Pinkie29 · 19/06/2012 23:59

Sorry scooby Sad he'll be at peace now but I can't imagine the massive void he's left. I adore my cat only had her a few months and fully agree they are part of the family and bring so much joy to people.

Id like to get hold of the evil bugger and drip feed them antifreeze!! AngryAngry

sharklet · 20/06/2012 04:02

Scooby, I am so sorry. Poor Charlie. I know how you feel. It leaves a huge void behind. I think my freinds thought I was mental when my cat was run over.

I cannot imagine the huge gap you are feeling now. HUge hugs for you and your DS.

Am going to spread the fb page around. I signed the petition earlier.

Take care of yourself xxxx

Cynner · 20/06/2012 05:03

Sending you hugs and sympathy...there are no words to help the hurt right now. My Wiccan friend used to say this prayer for any beloved animal...fly your soul to the arms of the mother, and know those who loved you, remember you..xx

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 20/06/2012 06:30

I am so sorry. I hope the sick freak who did this rots in hell for eternity!!! :( good bye little Charlie sweet dreams your family love you very much. :(

Leftwingharpie · 20/06/2012 06:40

I'm so sorry about your little kitty I just read the whole thread holding my breath hoping he'd be ok. What kind of sick bastard would do that not just to a helpless animal but also to the human family that love him?

Westcountrylovescheese · 20/06/2012 06:48

Petition signed.

This is horrific, poor little boy. Can't believe the nastiness of people. Angry

Elkieb · 20/06/2012 07:04

I'm so sorry Sad

BlackSwan · 20/06/2012 07:17

Poor Charlie. So sorry, our pets are so precious and important, it's beyond my comprehension that anyone would do something intentionally to hurt them. People who hurt animals are cowardly bullies and should go to jail.

kitsonkittykat · 20/06/2012 07:32

Im so sorry to hear about Charlie, I've been reading the thread and hoping that he was going to be alright. The poor little boy! I know how much I love my cat, and you must be absolutely devestated.

This is why I keep my cat inside, he doesnt go out, and never will. You can make a good life for them inside, and never have to go through the pain of them being tortured by some sick bastard, or else run over by a car or some other awful fate.

SleepyFergus · 20/06/2012 07:55

So, so sorry to read your news this morning. Poor wee Charlie. What a horrible thing for all of you to go through. At least he is out of pain now.

We have 2 cats and would be devastated if anything were to happen to them, so you have my utmost sympathy. Take care, xxx
