He’s very cute and sweet to me. However, he is a feral cat that I got from the woods. He doesn’t respond to anyone but me. He needs to be able to go outside and play in the woods. To be frank, he doesn’t even want to be touched by anyone but me. I can’t put him into a shelter because nobody will adopt him. And he wouldn’t understand that. I’m afraid he would just be put to death. He’s only 10 years old. I don’t know what to do. The doctor says I have about six months to live.  I wish I didn’t have to leave him behind. His name is Boggles.

No one can adopt him. He wouldn’t understand that or respond to it. 

I have no other family but him. It breaks my heart to think that his only owner would leave him suddenly. 

This is not an adoption request. He doesn’t like other cats. He doesn’t like other people. He doesn’t like children. He doesn’t like dogs. He doesn’t like anybody but me. He’s mean to everyone except me. That made me feel special until I got my diagnosis. To everyone else he’s just a mean, weird cat. But to me, when we are sleeping next to each other, he’s my buddy. I’m worried what will happen when I’m not there to take care of him. 

Only two things I can think about is to anesthetize him prematurely before I die, or just let him loose into the woods and hope he makes his way.

Just writing this is breaking my heart.

Please advise.

I’m about to die, and I’m not sure what to do about my cat.
