"He held our hands on his last trip to the vet," the caption reads. "Little Andrew was much stronger than his mom and I."
User Abherna3 wrote that Andrew saw him through high school, his undergraduate degree, medical school and his residency.
But when the 15-year-old cat fell ill and finally stopped purring, his family knew something was wrong.
It comes after another similarly heart-wrenching photo went viral last year. The image featured a dog named Libra riding in the back seat of a car on her final journey to the vet.
