Per Viewer Request, a Video of Jinx being Cute

Jinx, Male Black Leopard
Exact DOB Unknown estimated 1999
Arrived August 2015
Died 12 24 2022
Christmas Eve 2022:

Jinx hasn’t been himself the past few weeks. He had been suffering from a resistant UTI, and once that seemed to have cleared up, we thought he would bounce back. He hasn’t been interested in food or his favorite enrichment this week, so we knew something was up.

This is what we found out today from His exam: He has moderate kidney disease, is constipated, and has significant arthritis in his spine causing difficulty walking and pain. His urine is still bloody, so no improvement on 6 days of the second round of antibiotics. His resistant urinary tract infection has not responded this time and the only other medical options include keeping him in a transport and darting him multiple times a day. Vet staff discussed all possibilities and ultimately decided the best thing we could do for a 23-year-old cat was say goodbye.

Thank you for showing Jinx the life and love he deserved.
