Today at 6:09 my Baby kitty (aka Morticia) died. I don't know why so they are doing the autopsy and I should know tomorrow. 1 year was not enough time with you my sweet kitty. I already miss you so much. We just got you spayed and now you are gone. I would like to say that you went peacefully but I know that is not true. I sat with you while you seized and cried out in pain. I cried when I knew you weren't going to make it. My sweet little baby kitty I am sorry that you hurt so much. I wish you could have gone in your sleep laying on my stomach. I will miss you so much. Your kittens will miss you so much. Our time together was short, but hopefully you are in a better place now. I love you my little girl. I hope you find Peace across the rainbow bridge. RIP Baby kitty.

I'm sooooo sorry....I pray you will find peace knowing the love you gave him far surpasses any negative circumstances you faced today. We never know just how much time we get to love our furbabies but we do have control over how much love we give them...and it's obvious your kitty was indeed loved to the max.

Gee man I'm sorry for your loss. That's tough. No one should have to go through that. I don't think words can really make you feel better but what I can tell you is most of us here know what it's like to lose out babies. It's a very painful and sad thing. They are part of us. We are part of them.



God bless you.

I'm so sorry for your loss, the hole it leaves in our hearts takes a long time to heal. I hope the kittens can bring you some comfort in the days ahead. Words can never convey what we truly mean to say at a time like this, but know we are all here for you and share your grief at losing another beautiful soul. She would never want you to be so sad when you remember her, try to think of the good times you two shared and not dwell on her death. Take care of yourself, I'll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. RIP beautiful Morticia, you will always be loved and never forgotten!

this  is why we do what we do.cats dont have health insurance and primary doctors.

And you know,there is something about helping the helpless that makes us better.

I researched a lot on the Cornell website,among others to find an answer to my

cats health.It was worthwhile,they do have advocates now.

but your baby left offspring,this is the main thing for all species,to recreate.

and so ,you can help them.

I found out today. I know what killed my little girl. When they spayed her they didn't do it properly so the knot they tied came undone. The killed my baby. It was because they didn't do their job right. They did this to me. They did this to her kittens. If it weren't for them I would still have my baby girl. I wouldn't have to fight back tears every time I thought about her, or every time I hear the bell of her collar on her first born. If it weren't for them I wouldn't be crying right now as I write this. I took my poor baby to you so that you could help her not kill her. WE TRUSTED YOU and you betrayed that trust by not doing your job right. I lost my baby because of you and their is nothing I can do. I hope that the other animals you fixed that day, or any day, do or did not have to go through what Baby Kitty and I went through. My poor girl, though she was not in pain, is now dead because of you. The only thing that I have to be thankful for is the fact that she was not hurting when you plunged the knife into her back. Thanks to you I lost one of my best friends and NOTHING can bring her back.

I Emailed the place that we took her to to get her spayed, and they said that they would pay for the necropsy. This wouldn't mean much to most, but to me it means that they are admitting that they are at fault. I know it doesn't bring her back, but it helps knowing that the ones that did this to her are acknowledging that they did it. I misjudged them to fast and for that I am sorry. I know that this could have happened anywhere that we took her.

Too sad.  I am in tears and I never met your baby, I can only imagine your pain.  Morticia was lucky to have been so loved, and lives on in your heart and in her kittens.

You didn't misjudge them too fast at all Glenn. Anyone would judge the harshly for what they did and it shows what an incredible person you are for forgiving them. I must admit at least they did take responsibility for it and were honest to you rather than being low and lying. That takes a lot of inner quality to admit such a huge mistake.

Credit to you pal. All the best. Sorry for your loss. May your baby rest in peace.

@Ryan Glenn, I'm so sorry for your loss. This is truly tragic for you and your baby. I know the heartache and betrayal you feel is overwhelming, but please know you were doing the right thing in getting her spayed. Thank you for sharing the video of your baby girl and please send my condolences to your mom, as well. 


Rest in peace, beautiful Morticia.

That's appalling! Oh my goodness! I'll be praying for you, what a needless death and suffering of your beloved kitty.

You will feel better eventually, I pray for your comfort and peace. For your own sake, that's what you need—comfort and peace.

Your ability to forgive is admirable. When i read your first post i kinda knew a complication with the spaying was going to be the reason. Unfortunately, none of these procedures no matter how routine are risk-free. Something as simple as giving a vaccine can cause a bad reaction- we just never know. I wish you blessed peace and healing at this difficult time.

We got the necropsy back. Nothing is as we thoguth. They did kill my Baby Kitty. The report states and I quote " Cat was spayed at Pasado spay station 9/26.This morning she was acting differently and vocalizing; owner found her deceased this afternoon. Her skin incisions and abdominal incisions were intact. A large amount of free blood was found in the abdomen (150 ml + several large clots). The right pedicle appeared to be knotted back on its self and the knot was intact. There was no knot or ligature associated with the left pedicle, and a large blood clot extending from the pedicle down to the uterine stump. There was a single ligature around the uterine stump that appeared intact. The other abdominal organs appeared normal". They did kill her. They forgot to tie her left tube. How could they forget to do something like that? This is why they paid for her necropsy. They killed her and there is nothing we can do. I don't understand how they could do that.

That really is upsetting to know that the people you trusted to spay your kitty were not observant enough to see they had not closed off the second tube. I would be calling them asap or bringing in the necropsy for them to read. So that they know they killed your poor baby girl and in hopes that they will be more diligent in their work on other people's pets. Either that, or sue them and divert all others from having their pets spayed and neutered at this place. Either one is a completely acceptable and understandable reaction for their action. 

Edit: Sigh. Maybe sueing them is taking it too far. But one way or another someone needs to be held responsible for the death of your poor baby girl. Whether the person operating on her is penalized in some way for being negligent or you make them feel absolutely horrendous for it, they need to know.

I do not think we can sue them as I am pretty sure we signed a waver. The spayed so many other pets that day. I am worried that it is not only my pet that was hurt. I cannot even express in words how much it hurts to know that they killed my baby and they might have killed others.
