Dearest Janis, You are wonderful and we know you do all you can. He was lucky to find you guys. How traumatic for you and the pain is intense. Rescue is hard. The FFCS family members are angels on earth. 🙏🥰🙏
This hurts my heart. Cats are so good at hiding their illness. I’m sure stray and ferals hide it even better. Finn, and all the others there are so lucky to have you.
He felt your love every day. Thanks for being there for him when no one else did! He was blessed to have you all in his life! Rest in Peace Sweet Finn Finn!
“Not having it,” lol. He was spitting mad at humans. What you gave him was so angelic and marvelous that he got his last months as your smoochie kitty.
Janis, you are the best and most loving lady. The whole Furball family are awesome. The cats are so lucky to have you. Finn Finn new he was loved and he LOVED you so much. Him head-butting you was his way of kissing you. I want to thank all of you for trying to show all for them huge love and never giving up on them.
You all are doing a wonderful job. Don’t ever allow anyone to make you feel that isn’t true. We had Evangeline for 14 years. She was rescued from Hurricane Katrina flood waters as a baby kitten. Everyday of her life she would climb up my pants when I got home from work. One day she didn’t. I immediately took her to the vet, but she died the next day of advanced cancer that we had no idea she had! I’ve had 3 house cats die of cancer, who were all fine until they weren’t. You and Finn had each other for a lovely minute. That’s a blessing! 😢❤❤
Sorry I couldn’t watch this live but just watched and cried again for sweet Finn, all of you at Furball Farm and especially you, Janis, for the bond you had with him. He knew he was loved and loved you in return. My heart goes out to you and thanks to you, I felt like I knew him and I will never forget Finn. RIP, sweet boy 💔
Such a heartbreaking story...I am sobbing. Janis, you gave Finn a great life and he certainly loved you. I wish he could have been around a lot longer. He was so special and so are you💌
What a blessing that you saved him in time to be able to be loved and pass away loved and safe. He didn't have to die outside in the cold, alone, or prey to another animal. He died the best way. You gave him a lifetime of love in 5 months. I once took in a feral boy, took him in just in time. He was sick and passed only one month after I had taken him in. Cats are resilient and hide their pain as we all know. Atleast he died loved and in my warm loving arms. It's all we can do. Finn really looks like Columbo. God bless!
Oh Janis dear.... I'm so sorry. Finn-Finn was one of my favorites too. Tessa will show him the way. ❤ You will meet again. 😇 I'm grateful to you and all at Furball Farm that he didn't pass away alone out in the cold. You're all Angels.
I saw that video and saw him retracting with his breathing. I felt so bad for him. Bless his sweet heart. Thank you for giving him love before he died. 😢
I am so sorry...😥😭💔 I have been crying so much! You took so good care of Finn. Thank you for the care you take of these sweet babies! Love and hugs. 🙏❤🙏🐈
Very sad about Finn. He passed with dignity and love in a safe environment. Rescue is not easy. I've been there. We lost our George in May of last year. Hindsight is 20/20. Do not blame yourself for not seeing the signs. We missed George's, but it was because he didn't want us to worry. Sending love to you.
Janis, I am so sorry for your loss. This video caused me to cry right with you. I’m so glad you had 4 months to love on Fin. I’m just sorry the vets couldn’t save him. You will see him again in heaven. Bless him! Bless you and your volunteers.
First, my deepest condolences to the staff and Fins fur!-ball friends. I love watching your FB videos and looking at the daily photos. Will is my favorite... Thank you for a you do for the beautiful animals. For the person who could not hear the video. Sometimes I have to turn off bluetooth to listen to RU-vid. I had to to watch this video. Just something to try next time!
We have a former stray cat living with us. We named him Baxter; a grey & white tabby. He showed up in our yard one day, hung around about 6 months, so we took him in even though we already had 5 cats. He developed a serious urinary tract infection after about a year which ended up costing us $3000 in vet bills, but he's fine now and living a pampered life. All our resident cats accepted him right away when he moved in. He's a very special cat and certainly one expensive Stray! 🙂
So sorry for your loss. Your group does such wonderful work. It’s so easy to sit in judgement. Death is an inevitability. Being loved, warm and secure is a great way to depart this world for both men and animals. May Finn ROP.
Finn was beautiful and I'm so happy that you gave him a lifetime of Love in the 4 months he was there at the sanctuary. Thank you Janis please continue being beautiful self.
It is amazing you could get so close to Finn; hold him, pick him up, snuggle and smooch him in less than 4 months of being in your care after he spent his life on the streets. Do you think he was an abandoned pet and not born feral? He knew love, care, warmth, safety with you. Thank you!
I'm so sorry Janice. I got excited awhile back when you were showing Finn because I had lost my Finn in December and I have had a tough time getting over. I still am. I cried right along with you last nite. He was my baby. Much love and hope your heart heals soon. Your all such beautiful people. Hugs. ❤
I was very emotional while watching the life and I couldn't even type. I've saud it numerous times in other social media but this loss hits hard. I know how Janis and all at furballs loved Finn. I know death is a part of life but it doesn't make it any easier. Guys my heart and thought are with you all! I ❤Finn Finn like he was one of my own. 💔💔💔💔
Cats are excellent at hiding their pain or illness, but I thought also at the very end of your live, that Finn seemed a little off. But it warms my heart that he got to know love and had family at the end of it all. ❤❤❤
I was so sad and upset to hear about Sweet Finn too! but knowing that he was so loved by you, Janis,he was happy and content! nobody probably ever loved him before,you gave him that love he needed up until the end! he had a warm, place, good food and lots of other cat company, and most of all the special love and devotion from all of you! he got lucky in those four months you had him! And of course, he could’ve been gone before you even rescued him! so happy that you did find him and gave him a good life in his last few months! you people are the best! be proud of what you do and of your sanctuary and those rescued beautiful cats they have the best life they could ever have because you people are the ones that love and care for them and these babies all have each other they have a lot of fun they have a lot of toys and beds and good food and things to climb and TV! they have the best! You are blessed and so are those Furbabies! Thank you for what you do for these precious feral kitties! Finn, crossed over the rainbow bridge, no more suffering no more pain for him and yes, someday you will see him again and we will also see our beloved family members and our beloved pets that have passed! I do believe in that! Thank you for that beautiful heartfelt tribute video to him this was very difficult for you both because that was the love you had for him.he will be missed so much! Rip our beloved Handsome Finn!🙏🙏🙏💔😿😢
I had 4 cats. One by one they got I’ll and passed with 2 years. Spooky had heart failure. Powder Puff had thyroid cancer. Candy had breast cancer that metastasized to her brain. Then Skittles had AIDS related pneumonia. I was hit hard for the last 2 years. Last year I rescued another kitty I was feeding on my back deck. Her name is Bella Grace. God help me I fall in love with these sweet furry souls so deeply. I can’t wait to see them again in Heaven.
I was so sorry to hear about Finn last night. Janis, Finn chose you as your human. He loved you so much. ❤ Thank you for all that all of you do for all of these kitties. ❤ you gave Finn the best 4 plus months of his life. He knew he was safe and he knew he was loved.
We lost our tuxedo ZEKE. He was very young 1.5yrs. found him on the bathroom floor. Tried to revive him with mouth to mouth. Will never forget the emotions 😢 we contacted the family he came from and the baby momma had another litter . My wife held the tuxedo from that litter and he was it. I told her we were getting two because we adopted a feral ( pumpkin)from a shelter and she was very standoffish for a long time. Now she is 13and the queen. We got a tuxedo and a gold cat from this litter and they are such a Joy. Zeke and Ziggy. Ziggy is the brains of the outfit gold cat. And Zeke is the big boy. Feed me and love me. Would always tell adoptive parents to observe the litter and choose the two that are great together . Will always cherish these two little boys 😀
I have been so behind on videos, I had heard Finn Finn had passed, but just now seeing this video to hear the whole story. Janis, Finn was such a lucky guy to land at Furball. He came in time to find out he could get real love from humans. You made a huge difference in his life. I have no doubt he will be waiting for the time that you cross over to greet you, as will so many other kitties you all take in. Tears rolling for Finn's loss, but joy that he got to know love.
6 years ago we lost a cat we had rescued as a small kitten running loose in the street. We had Luke about 3 years before he developed symptoms of FIP. He died within 2 weeks after diagnosis. It was the saddest event of my life and I cried like a baby when i tried to tell one of my friends what had happened to him. He was the most affectionate and friendly cat anyone could ask for; black and white with a heart shaped patch on his right side. We have a portrait of him in our living room. His picture is the screensaver on my phone to this day. He'll never be forgotten. Point being I understand how heartbreaking it is when you lose a kitty or any pet. We still have the orange tabby we got for him so he'd have a little brother. We also have 5 other cats, pampered and loved.
Aww poor boy I always thought he looked weary you don't know how much pain he had been in and for how long! R.I.P Fin Fin💔 you was so loved sadly for a short while😭🥰
I'm so sorry. You don't have to justify yourself to anyone. Sadly, I didn't notice my big old torti was ill until the day before she died. I'd been working long hours and she was a cat that liked to be left alone (total torti-tude) so I didn't pick her up much. I just didn't notice. I felt horrible but she died the next day at home. She had also been abandoned when a family member had a neighbor who moved and left her. She was about 9 months old the vet said.
He was so handsome. And even though this is hard, he was so much better off with you and I bet he would say he was glad to end his life in your care. ❤️ 💔
I'm so sorry about darling boy Finn. But now dear Finn is with God in heaven now and his body is in the best shape. Beautiful Janis ... words fail me ....😺💕💕💕😸
I know it hurts. I know you know that because of your organization, he knew love. But it still hurts. I hate to see you cry. I participate in TNR day long clinics. We had to euthanize a stray last month. It was so hard even though it was much better than him suffering on the streets. Sending hugs. God bless
you guys are so amazing...l wished we had people like you here in Spain!! there are many!!.... but it's not enough because basically they dont respect animals.
Once l took a very sick kitten which nobody in that area near the primary school cared about! this soul died after 5 hours...l cried in 3 days not because he passed away! but these people in that area didn't see and cared about him! I am still thinking about the animals that l rescued and they passed away after few day / hours and my heart become 1000 pieces ever time💔💔💔
So sorry. It is very sad. And it's bound to happen many times over with all of these cats. Thank you for loving on all the cats in whatever way they will allow. They need it and so do we.
I have 4 “feral” cats living with me. They eventually trust you and become regular cats. My approach is to not force anything. My oldest cat is 15 years old and sleeps with me. All of these cats can become domesticated. My cats came from my neighborhood.
