Lucky “Duck” Hutchins
July 7, 2002 – September 27, 2021

Lucky, age 19, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on September 27, 2021, with his Mom and Dad holding him. With the true testament of love and care he received he lived such a long life, until he was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in June 2021. We found Lucky when he was about 6 weeks old, he was outside our garage door, under a trash can in the rain, that morning we had seen a Momma Cat and Lucky underneath our truck it was raining, we put some food and water out for them, when we came home, we did not see either one of them, so we figured they went on their way. That night at around 10:00pm we kept hearing something outside the garage door, but every time we opened the door it would stop, finally we kept listening and looked under the trash can and there was this very tiny sick little boy, we rushed him to the ER, he only weighed a few ounces, very very sick, under weight etc., the Vet said that he was so sick he probably would not make it, we were not about to give up on this little guy, so with lots of Meds and all cleaned up we took him home, we started giving him his Meds and feeding him and within about a week he started to eat on his own, and was coming out of it, after that, he began to get bigger and more active. At one time our Lucky weighed about 35lbs, but it never slowed him down at all. Over his life Lucky overcame so much illness and pain, he started having chronic UTI’s at the age of 6 months, he went thru so many tests etc., and they could never find what was causing them, so every time he started to get one, we knew, so we would get him to the Vet and get him Meds. In 2010 he had a right back knee replaced, no problems he was up and about in no time, 2011 he got food poisoning from canned cat food, we thought we were going to loose him at that time, he was at the Vet’s for 10 days, he came thru that, in 2016 he was diagnosed with Kidney Disease, in 2019 he started bleeding, and would not stop, he was in the Hospital that time for over 10 days, they gave him a 5% chance of surviving, he came thru that, in August 2019 he was diagnosed with Heart Disease, he survived that for over two years.
Lucky loved to be outside with his big sister Sassy, they would stay out in the yard all day, watching the Deer, Squirrels, other Cats, and Raccoons and all animals that would wonder around. Sassy didn’t make it easy on Lucky at first, she didn’t want him invading her space, but eventually they became best friends. Sassy was older and she was with us two years before we found Lucky, so Sassy was the princess of course.
Lucky loved his nightly treats and couldn’t wait to hear that treat bag, of course he would eat Sassy’s first, and then his, so of course, had to fill the treat plates back up.
Lucky was a sweet, loving, quite Cat. So many stories that we could tell about our Lucky’s life.
Lucky was preceded in death by his sister Sassy.
Lucky is survived by his Mom and Dad and his brothers, Blue, Speedy, Tommy, Frankie.
They miss you so much, they still sit every day waiting for us to bring you outside to sit with them, like we had been doing these past couple of months. We would take Lucky outside in the afternoons so he could get some fresh air, sun and just be outside, so his brothers would all come to sit with us, now they sit outside everyday about the same time waiting for us to bring Lucky out for the afternoon, it is sad because they don’t understand why we aren’t bringing Lucky outside to sit with them.
Lucky you are so very missed and loved. You will always and forever be in our hearts and never forgotten. We love you so much Lucky “Duck” Mom and Dad.
