Séneca

Male, Mixed breed, medium (approx. 6 kg), born approx. 10.06.2015

Characteristics:

  • Calm, serene and full of quiet wisdom
  • Enjoys gentle walks, strokes and a comfortable bed
  • A gentle old soul whose peace touches everyone around him

History and personality:

Séneca was found alone, walking the streets, his body exhausted and silently asking for help. We were alerted because it was clear something was wrong. Tests revealed what we had feared: a highly advanced abdominal tumour compromising nearly all of his vital organs. A CT scan confirmed that, given its size, how long it had been developing and the internal damage caused, the mass is inoperable. His age and physical condition mean that surgery would carry too great a risk to his life.

With that, we made the most respectful decision we could: to accompany him through palliative care, with one single goal — that he lives free from pain, with dignity and as comfortably as possible.

He is a being of light. A gentle old boy who, despite everything, still finds joy in the simplest things: a quiet walk, a stroke, a soft bed. His calm and wisdom touch us deeply. He is, without a doubt, a teacher to all of us.

What he needs:

Séneca will need medication and specialist nutrition for the time he has left. We are deeply grateful to be by his side during this chapter, and to finally give him everything he was missing for so long: care, respect and love. Séneca will never be alone again.

Above all, we are looking for sponsors who want to be part of his journey and help us cover his treatments, medication and special diet. Because every life matters. And Séneca deserves, more than ever, to be loved and cared for until the very end.

Veterinary information:

Vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and with an EU passport. Currently receiving palliative treatment.
