Two of my little foster kittens have passed on.

I am so sorry Nikki, I know that you did everything you could to save these little kitties.

RIP little kitties

Just read this thread now - oh so sorry to hear about the loss of these little ones.
RIP little kitties, play safe and well over the Rainbow Bridge.

I am so sorry. You did everything you could.

Awwww the poor babies, i'm so sorry You know they'll be over at the bridge being mothered by all the older kitties

sorry Nikki you did everything you could for them.
At least for there short time here, they had a home with love.
rest in peace little ones.

Thankyou soo much everyone- i really appreciate all the kindness and support- loosing a foster kittens is deinitely the hardest part about fostering....but even then i feel better knowing that even though i didn't have them long, i was able to give them a good home and lots of love while i had them. Thanks for reminding me of that I do have a bit of good news- little Piper seems to be doing really well- so i'm hoping all continutes to go smoothly with her My other 3 foster kittens are doing wonderful too -so that is always a blessing. I was definitely missing little Phoebe and Poppy this morning at "breakfast time" I got used to having 3 little white furballs in there and now that it's just little Piper it seems soo sad. Yesterday i got her a big stuffed rabbit that's really soft and put it in the carrier with her- that seems to have soothed her a bit- i know she was missing having her littermates to snuggle with.

Loosing sweet little babies is the worst thing. Rest in peace Phoebe and Poppy. Play happily over the bridge until some day, many years from now your sister Piper runs to meet you. Then you can all snuggle again.

Poor babies.

RIP Phoebe and Poppy

I'm so sorry to hear this Nikki.... I know how you feel. I've been fostering for years now and mostly foster ferals and their kittens. I've lost alot of sweet babies too....my thoughts are with you.

I'm so sorry. I know it must be so hard. Don't blame yourself, though. A lot of kittens just don't make it. RIP sweet Phoebe and Poppy.

Awww...sweetie I'm so sorry to hear about your poor kitties! Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, there just isn't anything that can be done at times. I feel for the little ones and hope that they are at peace now. I'm sure they know that you did what you could for them, but they might have just been too weak to survive.
Rest in peace little ones.

Awww, Nikki

I'm so sorry for your losses, poor little ones. I'm sure that you did everything that you could for them but there are some things that are just out of our control. You gave them a warm, loving home for the short time they were in your life and that in itself is a blessing. May they rest in peace and run and play happily over the Rainbow Bridge

Would it be okay if Midnight helped to look after the little ones while they are on their journey?

The fact is you showed them enormous love in their short lives.
Im certain they are thankful for that.

Im very sorry for your loss. Concerntrate on the other kittens now, and keep your chin up.
Good luck to you

A bit more bad news- yesterday morning, my last little white kitten from that litter, Mimi - the one who was already spoken for and going to be adopted when she got better passed away. (formerly Piper). It's been rough. Yesterday, i woke up for her 3am feeding and all was good- she was eating just fine and all. When i woke up again at 6am to feed them all before work, i took her out and she was 1/2 dead. I put her in the carrier and rushed her to the shelter. When i got there i gave her a sub -q iv and put her in front of the big heater to warm her up. She was already freezing cold- she shouldn't have been- she had been on a heating pad and warm fleecy blankets in her carrier. i'm not sure what happened. she seemed to be doing better for a few minutes- and then she started seizing very badly. I started kitten cpr on her after she stopped and she responded a bit to that. At this time one of the other animal control officers was trying to help me as well- we worked on her for a good 45 minutes. She started seizing over and over again and her heart juts seemed to stop. Nothing we did was working. We tried everything- iv's, kitten cpr, the heater - nothing worked. She was much too young for certain meds (to jump start her heart- that young and even the smallest amount can cause death). I am really upset. I lost the entier litter I think something was wrong with all 3 of them though- i'm not sure what- but i really think something gentetic was going on. It was really sad to have to call her new family last night and tell them- but they were soo sweet and understanding about it. They are still adopting one of my older foster kittens and are now planning on getting on of her littermates as well since little Mimi didn't make it. At least that is a bit of positive news. It's still really upsetting. I still have her little blankie that she died in in her carrier- i need to go through and clean it all out but it's just depressing Sorry there is no good news today about the last little one. At least i can take a little comfort knowing that all 3 of my beautiful little kittens are being watched over by the other wonderful rainbow bridge animals.

Thankyou Laureen I have no doubt they are all playing together and taking care of one another and watching over us all and our other furbabies / I am just a bit frazzled right now from loosing all of them I am REALLY worrying about little Linus- one of my older foster kittens who is supposed to have surgery tomorrow. (i think i'm worrying to much because after loosing these little ones i'm afraid to even chance him going under the knife tomorrow- but it has to be done )

I'm so sorry that you lost the other kitten, Nikki. This must be heatbreaking for you, my friend. Hopefully, you will be able to take some comfort in that whatever was wrong with them they are now healthy and pain free and that they are reunited with each other at the Rainbow Bridge.

I'm sending some good vibes to you and Linus for a successful surgery tomorrow.

Oh Nikki, I'm so sorry! I know you put your heart and soul into caring for these little ones! Rest peacefully babies!
