Update on Sofie the Cat and Prayer Request for Her Owner

From Dawn:

Thank you all so much for praying for Sofie. It seems our prayers were answered, though not as I would have hoped. Blood test results came back today and she has been diagnosed with terminal kidney disease. Her vet says that her death is imminent, but at least she will not suffer, which makes me so happy even though I'm devastated that I know I will lose my little girl very soon. Thank you all for your prayers!! They were answered, and I appreciate your kindness and time. Please pray for me that I have strength when the time comes. Have a very blessed Easter. May God bless you all.

Please continue to pray for Sofie. I would also ask that you keep Dawn in your prayers during this very difficult time for her.

Prayer Request for Sophie the Cat

From Dawn:

Please pray for my girl, Sofie. She is 12 years old and has been in good health until a few weeks ago. The vets don't know what is wrong. She has stopped eating, but still has her sweet personality and spark of life. We've tried everything we can think of, but nothing seems to be helping. If it is God's will that she must soon sit in His lap in heaven, I will accept that it is her time, but I ask you to help me pray for her recovery, or alternatively, and most importantly, that she doesn't suffer. Thank you for this site. I can see it has brought comfort to many, as it has done for me. May God bless you during His holiest of seasons.

Please keep Sofie, and all our sick and elderly pets in your prayers. I would also ask that you keep Dawn and all owners who suffer when their pets are sick, in your prayers.

Update on Abbey the Dog and Prayer Request for Henry the Dog

From Tina:

I had emailed awhile ago about Abbey who has cancer of the urethra. She is still with us after 6 months but does not have much time left. I have 3 other dogs and they now think Henry, who is about 10, has cancer in his mouth. I will know the end of the week but the growth has been removed twice and keeps growing back. I don't know how I would deal with losing 2 of them with cancer at the same time. Please pray it is not cancer.

Thank you so much for listening and praying for me.

Please keep Henry, Abbey and all our seriously ill pets in your prayers.

Prayer Request for Alex the Dog

From Gail:

Please pray for our 10 yr old Alaskan Eskimo dog, Alex. He has a tumor near the bladder section. He had a catheter placed today. He hasn't been his perky self for the past few days. We realize he is getting older but in our eyes, he is still a puppy.

Please keep Alex and all our ailing pets in your prayers.

Update on Dingir the Dog and Urgent Prayer Request for Midnight the Cat

From Kevin:

We are very appreciative for the prayers for our dog, Dingir and are pleased to report that he appears to be improving daily. He is still a happy dog.

Now our cat, Midnight, was just diagnosed with a mass in her chest cavity. She has fluid accumulation and the vet said she may not survive the night. Once again we are asking prayers for her. It really means a lot to know that we have people praying with us. Thank you and thank everyone who has shared with us in intercessory prayer for our missing and ill pets over these past months. May God richly bless.

Thanks for your prayers for Dingir. Please continue to pray for him.

Also, please keep Midnight and all our seriously ill pets in your prayers.  We especially ask for the intercession of Bl. Seelos and St. Martin de Porres.

Update on Dozer the Dog

From Bobbie:

Dozer was returned to us on Saturday evening. He was placed back in his pen while we were out looking for him. A gentleman called and said he had bought the dog from some woman and had paid $100 for him and then had seen his flier at Sheetz. He went on further to say he had lost a dog once and knew that he had to give this dog back. We are giving him his $100 back and going to visit him to thank him for returning the dog. My husband is going to investigate it further to see who he bought the dog from and if the other two missing dogs are anywhere to be found. This all happened in Colonial Beach, apparently. Dozer is fine. He had a logging chain around his neck and is very sore and stiff through his hips, back, and legs. I am assuming from pulling against that chain all week. Thank you for your help and suggestions! This is one bad story that turned out happy! I really think the tides turned in our favor due to the prayers we prayed on Friday to St. Francis and St. Anthony. Thanks again

Update and Praise Report on Toby the Kitten

From Rebecca:

I just wanted to write and let you know that little Toby came out of the wall. At about 6:00AM or so this morning, my mother heard Toby's brother Owen clawing desperately at the door of the room that had the hole Toby jumped in to. Then she heard a tiny little mew and she when she opened the door, there he was. Dirty and with a little limp, but he was back and safe.

Her building is a four story brownstone-esque type building divided in to condos and our property management team told her that Toby could have gone anywhere in the building, so the fact that he's back, I think, is due in large part to the prayers and hopes of others. To us, it feels like a miracle.

Thank you and your readers so very very much for helping us! I think it made all the difference in the world. We were praying and praying and praying, but we needed help.

I've attached some pictures of my little baby, so you can see who you helped come back to us!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

God bless,

Sad News - Vlooi the Dog

From Kieran:

Having lost my beloved Taz on 8 March 2010 nineteen days later I have lost my beloved Vlooi as well 27 March 2010. To lose one dog is devastating but to lose two is soul destroying.

So please I ask you to help me pray that they have found each other in heaven and that they are now happy, healthy and at peace.
My heart is so sore and I dont know where to go from here, as my best friends, my children and my better halves are gone. Please pray.

Urgent Prayer Request for Redford the Cat

From Cindy:

Please pray for the safe return of my cat Redford (Red). He has been missing for a week now. Something is terribly wrong in my neighborhood as far as cats go. I had a cat, Bandit, which lived at this address for 10 years. He disappeared in October and within two weeks of his disappearance my other cat Jasper disappeared along with other cats in the neighborhood (one that has been in the neighborhood 8 years). My son gave Redford to me at Christmas. He is the most loving cat and a great companion for me. Please, please, please join in prayer with me for his safe return.

Prayer Request for Toby the Kitten

From Rebecca:

My mother is currently doing renovations on her condo and one of the contractors left the door to the construction space open, even though she told them she had cats. One of the cats, Toby, is a curious little thing, so he climbed up in to the hole they had knocked in the wall and is now lost somewhere in the walls of the building. We have cancelled the contractors and are trying to lure him back with food and catnip, but he's probably scared and panicked and could have wandered far away from where he went in. The only thing I think that could truly bring him back would be a miracle, so I've spent the day praying and was hoping others could help.

Thank you so much for this website.

Please keep Toby and all our pets in need in your prayers.

Sad News - Jelly the Dog

From Karina:

I am finally able to even articulate this, but Jelly passed away the night before last. We brought him home from the clinic on Thursday night. He seemed agitated and not himself. He kept walking in circles and bumping into everything. He finally calmed down and went to sleep. Jelly then died in his sleep that very night. This has all been very sad. I am trying to focus on the fact that he is no longer suffering and he was able to choose his own fate, rather than a vet. I am trying really hard to believe that this was for the best and trust that this was God's will.

I can't thank you enough for you and your website helping me through this and all of your prayers.

God Bless

Karina

Karina is very grateful to all of you for support. Please keep her in your prayers as she mourns the loss of her beloved dog. Thank you everyone!

I am happy to report that Father Seelos and Our Blessed Mother have helped my dog Jelly tremendously. I am forever grateful to them. Thank you so much for suggesting and introducing me to Bl. Seelos.

Jelly is being discharged today and although his improvement is slowly coming along, the talk about putting him down has seized. He is walking, eating and drinking on his own. The only medication he is on now is phenobarbitol for the seizures, he is off valium. I am extremely happy, thankful and hopeful for his full recovery.

I ask that we keep praying so that he continues to improve.

Another Urgent Prayer Request for Jelly the Dog

From Karina:

I desperately write you and the group. Please pray for Jelly's recovery tonight. I have tried to have faith and keep positive thoughts. I just spoke with one of the vets and he says that if my dog doesn't show some neurological improvement by morning, it may be time to consider putting him to sleep. The mere thought of it sickens me with grief and sadness. We need a miracle.

I strongly suggest we ask for Our Lady's intercession. She has such a tender heart and will take our petitions to our Lord. God's will be done.

Update on Jelly the Dog

Urgent Prayer for Barney the Dog

From Alex and Family:

Our dog Barney is a 12 year old Border Collie and the most wonderful family dog you could have ever asked for!
He has been with us through some very sad times, including when my young children and I watched my husband die suddenly one night 2 years ago. He is a kind, gentle, sensitive and faithful companion whom we cherish deeply. 4 days ago we were told he has Canine Lymphoma that seems to be fairly aggressive.
Please can you send prayers and healing thoughts for him. We do not wish him to suffer and hope that when the time comes he will pass quietly in his sleep. Today he played catch with my children and our other dog Star and was full of life but now he is tired and short of breath.
We love him so so much!

With our eternal thanks

We ask for the intercession of St. Martin de Porres and Blessed Seelos, healers of pets, to heal Barney and all our seriously ill pets, if it be God's will. Thanks all for your prayers!

Get to Know one of Our Patron "Saints", Blessed Seelos a little Better

As you know, here at Prayers for Our Pets, we often invoke the intercession of Blessed Francis X. Seelos. I want to share with you a short video on the life of Father Seelos, a Redemptorist priest. Even though the video does not make any mention of Father Seelos' healing of animals, I want you to know that at the Seelos Center, I was personally told by Joyce of a few examples of Father Seelos curing animals that were incurable.

Please note that at the Seelos Center, they will be happy to pray for anyone who is in need of prayers.

I just wanted to provide a small update on Sierra. She's had her first three chemo treatments (Monday will be number 4) and she seems to be responding fairly well. Her energy and spark have improved and we're happy that the treatments are helping us have more time with her. She's definitely not out of the woods, but we feel the prayers are definitely helping and the comfort they have brought to us during this time has been undeniable. We still appreciate all prayers, as we know the road ahead will not be easy, but we are still praying for a miracle.

Thank you and God Bless you!

Update on Red the Cat

From Beverly:

My best friend of 14 years, Red, went in for a dental checkup and they found a mass/tumor under his tongue. I am waiting impatiently for the test results. Red stopped eating and drinking yesterday which isn't good for cats. I put my St. Christopher in his bed yesterday and prayed. As of this morning, he still wouldn't ingest anything. Something told me to research the Patron Saint of Cats, found this site, and added him to the prayer list. My prayer was that he take nourishment until we find out if we can beat his sickness and that I be guided to what is best for him. He has been too good of a friend to me - I can't let him suffer. It is with a happy heart and many tears of joy that I report that he just ate six shrimp and drank some fish broth. Followed of course by a grooming session with his favorite brush - he purred louder than I've ever heard him purr. Thank you for adding him to the prayer list and I will continue with the beautiful prayers on this site. This site is a true blessing - thank you with all of my heart and love.

Thank you all again for your prayers!! Please continue to keep Red in your prayers.

Urgent Prayer Request for Red the Cat

From Beverly:

I found this wonderful little creature 14 years ago that grew into a bid red tabby cat named "Red" and found out this week that he has a mass under his tongue. Still waiting on results of tests, but it's my understanding that it's rarely good news. I am praying for the best. Last night and this morning Red will not eat or drink. I have prayed all week and would appreciate all the support I can get. He has been a wonderful friend and I will not allow him to suffer, but I need guidance to ensure I do the right thing. If it's God's will, please pray that it be clear to me. I do not want Red to suffer. If there is hope, please pray for the restored health of the best friend I've had.

God bless you and thank you for your prayers.

We seek the intercession of St. Martin de Porres and Blessed Seelos for Red's healing and all pets in need. Thank you all for your dedicated prayers for our beloved pets.

We do not want her to suffer needlessly and pray that Jesus will give us the wisdom to know when she can take no more. Please pray that we have the courage to let her go when it is time. The illness came on her fast and she has rapidly declined. We pray that God will hear our prayer and heal her.
