Correction:Prayer Request for Floyd the Cat

In order to have prayers said for Floyd, but without knowing what kind of animal he was, I typed dog. However, Floyd is a cat. The following is the response from Barcy to my inquiry:

Floyd is a cat. He is a 4 year old Maine Coon that we found along a bike path 3 years ago. We think that he had been dumped by a breeder because he was born with the herpes virus which is common for kittens to be born with that when they come from a bad breeder. At first I was horrified that anyone could discard such an amazing cat but then I counted my blessings that we had stumbled across him and he became such an amazing part of our lives.

Floyd is stunning and delightful and I think that is why he was stolen. I just hope in my heart that he can find his way home. I think all the prayers possible will help in the return of our wee one. I do worry about his herpes – when he is stressed the virus activates and cause respiratory distress. I am in constant dialogue with St. Anthony and St. Francis so as they say I will keep the faith!

Thank you for posting Floyd on your prayer list.

Barcy and Guy have requested prayers for their pet who was stolen. Please keep Floyd and all our missing pets in your prayers.

My dear Floyd was stolen from our backyard sometime on September 12. We are just beside ourselves over him. We have plastered the neighborhood, shelters, Vet offices, parks with posters and are posted on several missing pets websites and still nothing.

I pray constantly to St. Anthony to help me find him and to St. Francis for his safety. Perhaps if you posted my request for others to pray for our dear Floyd’s safe return a miracle could happen.

Please pray for the safe return of our dearest Floyd. We miss him so terribly and our hearts are broken thinking he may never come home.

Thank you and God Bless you

Prayer Request for Ras the Cat

Glenn has requested prayers for his missing cat Ras:

Please pray for my boy cat Ras. He disappeared 2 days ago. He spends a lot of time outside especially nights but is always at the door waiting for breakfast in the morning. When we woke up the others were there but not him. Ras has been our sweet loving pet for over ten years. He's extremely intelligent and understands everything we say. He's tempormental and moody and very emotional. He loves his yard, he loves his house and hates anything out of the ordinary. He would never leave. Something is wrong. He's very aggressive and doesn't like strangers. Of all our cats he's the one we never really worried about because he's so smart and would fight anyone who tried to hurt him or take him. I paint a picture of him that to some may sound negative but he's just very unique. He's a very good boy, very obediant, follows orders and and is always penitant when he does something wrong and soulfully grieves and asks for forgiveness when he knows he's upset you. Because he has so many human qualities my relationship with Ras is more fully realized than one I could have shared with a lot of humans over these years.

Ras is my baby, my buddy, my friend and my companion. I miss him more than I can say and am worried out of my mind. Being removed from everything he knows and loves is the worst possible case scenario for Ras emotionally and I know that he is not with us now against his will.

I know he's scared, miserable and inconsolably unhappy. I'm going crazy because I want to protect and help him and bring him safely back home but don't know where he is, what happened to him or what to do to bring him back. Please pray for Ras and his safe and speedy return. We raised him since he was only a few weeks old and everything about him brings our house so much life and joy. There will not be resolution in our lives if his disappearance remains a mystery.

Prayer Request - Mickie the Cat

Prayer Request for Frenchie the Poodle

Claire requests prayers for her seriously ill dog:

Frenchie, our Poodle, is a little over ten years old. In the last two
years he has been thru so much...a serous back operation and one year later
diagnosed with mouth cancer. The medication he was on for the Cancer
seemed to be working, but now Frenchie is going thru some pain. He's
eating everything put in front of him, but you can tell he's in some sort
of pain. The cancer on his gum seems to be gone, but now we wonder if he
has cancer somewhere else or if the back is injured again. He's going to
the doctor today, and I'm worried as to what the diagnosis will be. He's
such a trooper....he's so good ....he's funny. He's just the best little
guy you could ever want to know.Please say a prayer for him and that his
time is not yet up. He means so much to so many.

Thank you.

Hello, I want to give you an update on Koda. I had to have him euthanized yesterday as he still wouldn't eat, couldn't even walk and was collecting fluid in his lungs. My heart hurts for him, my son and myself, but I want to thank all of you who cared enough to pray for him (and us). We were there with him through the end and he passed quickly - in one-tenth the normal time his vet said. Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart - you are all wonderful people. May God bless you.

Update on Koda the Cat and Urgent Prayer Request

Jeanine emailed an update on her cat Koda:

Our cat Koda survived the FLUTD and came home healthy, only to ingest a poisoned mouse that was, of all places, in his carrier under his rug and out of site. This happened on the trip home after the FLUTD care. Thirty-six hours later he was back in the hospital in serious condition and underwent stomach surgery 2 days later to remove a blood clot from his small intestine. He is not bouncing back and has developed edema in his legs from being in a cage all the time. He won't eat and it appears as though there is something else still wrong with him. His vet says that he is out of options at this point and that the next step would be a large city MRI center and that they might not even be able to help him. I am heartbroken at this turn of events and humbly request your prayers for Koda, as only God can heal him now. I am praying for a miracle.

Please pray that Koda heals from this unforeseen complication.

Prayer Request for Yogi's Owner

Please keep Rizalina in your prayers. Her beloved cat Yogi recently died on August 17, 2009.

My wonderful cat Yogi passed on, on August 17, 2009. He is such a special soul. My Dad who strongly disliked cats, had a change of heart, once he met my little Yogi. He was with me and his brother Jack for 10 years (until we meet again) and I was wondering if you can post his name on your website. And i am also a fellow Catholic and was wondering if there are prayers for pets who have passed on. Thank you so much, Rizalina

Pets do not have immortal souls like a human soul. We do hope they will someday be with us in Heaven but we cannot pray for the repose of their souls. I therefore ask that you pray that Rizalina and all pet owners whose pets have died, be comforted.

Will We See Our Pets in Heaven?

Read Lee's post here

No one will really know the answer to this until we actually get to Heaven. I do remember my sister once sharing that a priest told her that if a pet made one happy while on earth, then God would have that pet waiting in Heaven. God wants to see us happy.

That is the gist of what I remember from their discussion. He was a Franciscan priest though :-)

Please keep Tara's cat Eddie in your prayers:

I just found your website tonight while looking for prayers to say for my sick cat Eddie.

The following is an update:

Mooch, the little guy with the hurt paw is fine. He stopped limping the day after I emailed you. Cher, the one who's lost so much weight is still very thin. She eats well and seems to be okay, but is still so skinny. She's not as peppy as usual. We'd appreciate any thoughts or prayers for her.

Please pray for my son's 2 1/2 year old cat Koda, who I love as much as my own. He is in the hospital battling FLUTD. He has been in and out of the hospital for 10 days now. The vets say he's ok but he refuses to eat and just lays around and drinks water. Blood tests say his kidneys and liver and everything else is alright, but he seems to be failing. My feeling is that only our Lord Jesus Christ can heal him once and for all. Please, please pray for our baby. Thank you.

Please keep Koda and all our seriously ill pets in your prayers.

Prayer Request for Xiang Tao the Cat

Trish requested prayers for Xiang Tao:

Xiang Tao and his litter mate were celebrating the improved health of an older sibling (another Himalayan) with a trip to Vermont. The 3 cats frolicked on a suspended deck, playing with the vigor of kittens. When
they scampered inside, their owners thought all 3 were together but later discovered only 2 of the cats were in the house. The wandering Xiang Tao has not returned, and the Green Mountains are not a hospitable environment for pampered beloved pets.

I pray that Xiang Tao will return to his family who miss him terribly.
St. Anthony and St. Francis, please help.

Trish

Please keep him and all our missing pets in your prayers.

Please keep our oldest cat in your prayers. We thought we had a hairball caused constipation problem. Now it appears she has Feline Urinary Tract Infection.

Because of the long weekend, we will be forced to bring her to another vet, further out and probably lots more expensive.

Thank you very much.

Update on Callie the Cat

Dear Friends:

The other day I posted what now seems to have been a premature praise report on Callie. original post here

Jean shared the following update:

Update on Callie:

Since I wrote you last, Callie has been to the Dr. twice for diagnostic tests and x-rays. She can barely walk and the vet can't figure out what's wrong with her.

Originally, the vet thought that she might have a tumor on her spine or cancer. Something seems to be wrong with her spine, but it didn't show up in the x-rays. She has pain in that area and meows a lot when she is touched there or if you try to pick her up.

In addition to her diabetes medicine, she now takes medication for inflammation. She stays downstairs all the time now and stays close to her food and water.

Would you please continue to pray for her? It breaks my heart to see her like this, when just a few weeks ago she was running and jumping. She is such a sweet, loving cat.

I have used holy water from Lourdes to bless her and have been praying to St. Francis of Assisi for her healing.

Thanks so much!

God bless you,

Please continue to pray for Callie and all our sick and suffering pets. We especially ask for the intercession of Blessed Seelos who is known for healing sick pets.

Urgent Prayers Needed for Charmer the Horse

Charmer - Photo taken 9/5/09

Dear Friends:

The other day I posted a prayer request from Lisa for her horse Charmer here.

Lisa sent me the following update:

Thank you very much Esther, but we received bad news this evening. The infection isn't getting any better and she is going to need to be put down. We brought her home from the hospital and I am spending all the time I can with her. It would require a miracle now to save her. To see her you would never know she is ill, she nickered to me when I arrived at the hospital and she bright eyed and smiling. This is very hard for me, I just lost my other horse of 25 years the weekend after Christmas. My girl Charmer is so very special I can't imagine my barn with out her.

I am asking you to offer your prayers for Charmer that God in His love of his four-legged creatures, especially a faithful animal like a horse, will heal Charmer.

I am specifically asking for the intercession of Blessed Seelos, who is known for healing sick pets.

As always, God's will be done.

Thank you.

I would greatly appreciate a prayer request for my cat, Skeet. He is a terribly sweet orange tabby, and he's been missing for several days.
I'm trying so hard to hope for the best, but I fear the worst. I have lost my faith over the past few years, but this experience has caused me to turn inward and try to believe in the healing power of God. Thank you so much for your help.

Please keep Skeet and all our missing pets in your prayers. We ask St. Anthony to intercede.

Laura, we lost our orange Tabby Honey for 4 months. Our family was heartbroken. We searched everywhere for her and visited the humane society daily for a month. We prayed for her too and that she be located. God eventually answered our prayers and we found Honey 4 months later.

Prayer Request for Sissy the Cat

Dancing with Pussycats left the following comment:

I'm so glad you posted this. I've been trying unsuccessfully so far to figure out how to petition prayers for my friend's cat. Now I can do it through the comments on this post.

Sissy is around 15 years old and has been diagnosed with lymphoma. Her doctor says surgery would do more harm than good, so she is on medication to try to help her keep food down.

Please pray that Sissy's health improves.

Fabulous website! Every day I pray for my cat, Pollyrose, and every night she gets blessed with holy water just before bedtime.

Please keep Sissy and all our sick pets in your prayers.

BTW, I bless our animals with Holy Water too!
