Stray girl didn't make it..but we did what we could..

I am pretty certain the litter I found's momma finally came back. I could tell she was not in good shape at all and something must have been going on with her which is why she abandoned the kittens. First off she was COVERED in fleas. I mean I have never seen anything like it. Poor thing. She was skin and bones and looked like she was on her last leg. I must have called a GA BILLION rescue groups and shelters not one place could help. I couldn't leave her there so I brought her inside to my basement bathroom. Gave her a flea bath and ripped everyone out with a tweezer. I was so sad I would kill her bc she looked awful.

I quickly called my vet and they were very nice and let me bring her in. She was only 4 lbs and looked no older then 5 months old. They told me she was about just under 2 years. Her mouth was WRETCHED and she had bad dental disease and missing a tooth! She was so pathetic looking. Even after fluids she didn't perk up. They told me in so many words that unless she's ur treasured pet that I may want to stop the bill where it was. I could live with myself without "knowing" so they took xrays of her body because her heart was muffled. She wound up having a mass on her heart and cancer in her brain. Poor little girl.

Would you believe I was crying like a baby over this little cat? She was so pathetic looking my heart was breaking. She meowed a faint meow and looked at me and crawled and hobbled over to me. Almost like she was saying "thank you". After 3 hours we finally made the choice to put her suffering at an end. I couldn't bare it she just looked like she was in so much pain. The doctors told me there couldn't have been anything I could have done to save her. She was just an ill, runty little cat. I am still very sad about it but everyone has been telling me I did what I could. It's just so unfair there are so many precious little critters out there with no one to care for them

The poor little thing! She was lucky that somebody, i.e., you, cared enough to try to help and put an end to her suffering. , little one.

She was meant to come back to you who would see to her last needs.

Oh, I feel so sorry...you tried. But brain cancer and heart problems. There is no good outcome.

You have a good heart to have taken her in and try to help her. I wish more people would take the time.

It's a tough club to belong to....this Broken Hearted Club. But it's a good club. You have to have a heart to belong.

God bless this little girl, and you for being her angel on earth.

Thanks so much. I still feel so terrible. I think it will haunt me forever. I am sure all those fleas cause terrible problems for her. They told me they could be 100% sure without doing $1,000's of dollars worth of tests but from what they could gather that is what they concluded. I was happy to at least have given her a name and a blanket to see her off in.

I'm so sorry she died, but I'm happy that she found you, you were able to show her kindess, and love before she died.

You did SO much for her....she heard soothing voices, she felt kind hands, she knew love, warmth, caring....she passed in the company of those who loved her and made her feel safe. It is so hard to lose those unfortunate, abandoned critters. We feel instant love for them...and she was so appreciative...she gave you a meow and hobbled over to you....her final kindness to you, her savior. She didn't die alone.

R.I.P Sweet Kitty..... ........your are forever loved

I have tears... and believe it or not, she at least had you for those last few hours of her life and you ended her suffering in a peaceful way. If not for you, she would have had a long, drawn out, painful, lonely death. You saved her from that, you did the right thing and thank God she came to you. I am thankful to hear that there are people out in this world like you. Again, you saved this darling, whether you believe it or not, you did.

I am so sorry for your loss. You did what you could to save the poor baby, and I'm sure she loved you for it. You gave her the only love she probably ever knew. And don't feel badly for crying over losing her: I get the same way myself when I lose one of my strays. There's nothing wrong with having a heart and caring.

Rest peacefully, sweet baby.
