I just want to thank everyone who responded.  Your being supportive really means a lot to me.  You're right, I had no idea of this outcome or I would have never left the cat at this shelter.  I'll try to think more along these lines.  And, most cat rescuers have to unfortunately deal with the...

I'm heartbroken about the cat. I wish I had taken him to a vet for testing and paid to have his eye fixed.  I thought this shelter would take good care of him.  I was wrong and this sweet cat paid with his life. Today, I've read stories about cats with feline HIV who lived long, healthy lives...
