My very old cat is sick and near death. I know I should bring him to veterinarian so he can be put to sleep, but I let him get terribly matted and am embarrassed about it and afraid the vet will think badly of me or charge me with animal cruelty. I know I should only be thinking of him now and I need prayer and help to do that. I really, really love him and tried to get rid of his mats, but he just wouldn’t let me groom him. I regret the way I took care of him. I would like the Lord to heal him and give me a second chance with him, but absent that help me do the right thing or take him to his resting place soon.
