Jules died this morning

They truly are what make my life worth living. The pain of the last few weeks, though, has been undescribable.

I'm sorry you think Jules suffered. That is very hard to deal with.

I totally understand about the feeling of wanting to give up kitties to stop the vulnerability to pain. Feelings are not always reality...just thinking that doesn't make it happen. I felt that way, too, when I lost several foster kittens. You have been through so much...my heart goes out to you!

Next week, call the vet who did the necropsy, and ask if there is any way to check the siblings for this. And remember, they are moggie cats, with mixed up genetics. Often that means some of the genetic illnesses are less strongly expressed in the litter. And it is even possible that there were several fathers to the litter, so some of the littermates will not have the same genetics.

Condolences on your many losses, and bless you for saving so very many kitties! And to Hissy, also, I'm sorry that you lost two precious ones as well.

Sue, I'm so very, very sorry to hear of your tremendous loss. My heart just breaks for you and Tybalt to have to suffer so many losses in such a short time. to both of you.

I can't beleive you have been going through this over and over again in this past little while. I am so sorry for you and pray that you will be able to pull through losing all these babies.

May all your precious ones play happily over the bridge and may you find peace knowing they are safe and happy looking down over you.

Best Wishes to you in this time of sorrow.

Sorry for your lose, i to lost one of my kittys last week its not good.
But you have a serious problem i think and need to think with a clear head at the moment 5 kittys since the 1st of May is to much, i think you need to find out why this is happening to your baby's, is there something in the garden that they are getting in to, or is there some other outside force working here, do you have some one near bye who hates cats. I have a fellow over the road who hates my boy's and is known to trap and send them to the pound, not a nice fellow.I am lucky because i have a lock up enclosure and they do not go off my property.
Can you remember if any of your babys had a swollen tounge and drooling this is a sure sign of poisioning.
Wishing you well.

We know what each of the cats has died from. Ulysses we don't know for certain is gone, but he disappeared a month ago and we live in an area with a lot of predators. There have been numerous mountain lion attacks in Boulder in the last month, of people and pets, and we do know we have them on the mountain where we live. Cole and Arthur died of FIP, Bonnie of Fading Kitten Syndrome, and the vet says it was a blood clot that killed Jules.

I am so very sorry to hear this, I truly can't imagine losing that amount of cats in such a short space of time. But I am glad that you can't bear to live without them either, you are such a wonderful person to help so many cats, and hopefully you will be able to look round the rest of your gang and think of what would have happened to them if it weren't for you. Big hugs to you.

Sue, I'm speechless, and very, very sorry that you and Tybalt have experienced so many losses recently.

I am so sorry for your loss of Jules and your other cats ,how devastating for you Sue

so many in such a short time is very difficult to bear and like Hissy said when we choose to help the ones who cannot help themselves we have to face more heartbreak than most.But we have to go on and we do become stronger....for the other animals.
{{{{prayers and hugs}}}}


and that was lovely Becky

Bless you Sue, for the love that you give to so many kitties.
I have no doubt that they were better off with you than alone in the world.
Cry yes...but don't ever give up...
The kitties need you.

RIP sweet Julies.

I'm so terribly sorry you are going through this now. I hope in time the pain will lessen for you and you will remember the happier times with your angels. Rest in peace sweet Jules.

I am so sorry for your loss of Jules. How hard this month has been for you and Tybalt. I don't think there are any words I can say that will ease your pain. Just know that you all are in my prayers.

~RIP Jules~

Oh my goodness Sue thats so tragic. What a month this has been for you both I'm so pleased your not giving up on the other kitts though

Enjoy playing over the bridge Jules, you'll have lots of new friends to play with over there

I'm so sorry about all of your recent losses. You must feel overwhelmed right now. I hope other kitties bring you comfort.

I am sorry for your pain. I feel for your loss. I pray that God will ease the suffering on your heart. No word I can offer will help you feel better... i know but i wanted to try anyway soo.. I spent some time on Meowornever to try to find a word or two from your own expiences that may help your pain.
I know you are strong enough to endure this trial of emotions.

But when i went to your webspace,
all i see are SO many happy little faces in your care. The more i spent time on your site, the more kitties I saw. Buffy, Picket and Dodger are quite the trio and what a handfull they had to be. Angel is BEAUTIFUL, and her grey and white kitten looks just like my girl Sleeves when she was a kit.
Not to mention the success stories. So many happy adoptions, Giligan, Stormy, Magic. Pixie PLUS her kitties.

Joles was a handsome tiger. What a happy face he has in every picture. I am sure the remainder of your days you will remember him. He was a furangle taken early. With his legacy he has left a horde of lucky cats who will try and fill his paws in your heart.
He would have only truely suffered if he had not come into your care.

Thank you so much for the many lives you have rescued and futures you have given.

I am so sorry to hear this. I know this is a hard time for you but we are here for you at TCS!!

RIP Jules

Sue, sorry to hear you lost Jules - I know he was one of the originals and must be very very special to you. Big hugs to you and Tybalt too!

I'm so sorry for your loss.... (((HUGS)))

Sue, I'm also sorry for your recent losses. It does seem too much to take on. I'll be thinking of you and Tybalt during this difficult time.
