my sweet Lil Bit died on Sunday, she had been ill for about a week, same symptoms as my Zeus, bloated tummy, the vet really couldn't find anything, just gave me antibiotics, but when I got home on Sunday she was having a hard time breathing, basically gasping for air. I held her until she breathed her last, by the time I had gotten to the vet she would have been gone anyway. I believe she was another victim to the FIP that was brought into my home by someone. she was a sickly little girl from the start, i knew her time would be short, but her fate was euthanasia if I hadn't taken her, so I gave her a couple months of life and love. She liked to groom the other cats, she was always licking someone
I never got any pics posted of her, but I have some on undeveloped rolls of film which I will post when they do get developed. She was a calico, with the firiest orange i had ever seen, like Autumn leaves. Her eyes were always sad, filled with a wisdom she shouldn't have had. I love you little Thene, my baby girl, Meowmy misses your quiet affection

Katie, I'm so sorry that you are suffering another loss of such a precious little soul. Athena (and I) thanks you for bringing her into your home and heart, and for loving her unconditionally and without reserve.

Oh, Katie, I'm so sorry you lost your sweet Lil Bit.
Athena's time here was too short but, thanks to you, at least she had a chance at life, plenty of love, and lots of other kitties to lick. My heart is with you. RIP beautiful Athena.

RIP little darling, you don't have to worry about being sick anymore. It's a wonderful gift of love that you gave her even if it was for only a short time.

Katie i'm so sorry sweetie


She'll carry on with her grooming over at the bridge because there'll be plenty of kittens who need a mother figure there


Play happily over at the bridge Athena, and know you were loved so much

Awww, Katie,


Thank you for giving her the time and the love that you did. I'm sure that she appreciated more than you'll ever know.

RIP dear little Athena!

Kate, Athena recaived so much love and care from you in the short time you spent together
That will never be forgotten as she smiles and watches over you and the other kitties you take under your wing


RIP sweet Athena

I am so very sorry to hear this - while your time together was shortened, her life was made a bit longer thanks to you, and she got lots of love and affection in that short time. RIP little one, and big hugs to you.

I am so sorry for your loss, I think you are wonderful for taking her in and loving her like you did. Even if it was just a little while, at least she knew love from you.
