A couple of weeks ago the shelter got a very young, presumably feral mother and her two young male kittens. They were severely undernourished, ridden with parasites, and the babies had eye infections. Momma herself was still a kitten.
At the beginning of last week the little tiger kitten had to be put to sleep. He never really had a chance. The day before yesterday the mother cat went to the vet's for her shots and keeled over dead. A necropsy revealed a severe heart defect. An ill kitten tried her best to fend for herself and two babies she never should have had. Help, when it came, was too late. The remaining kitten is hanging in there, but is extremely undersized.
Rest in peace, little Momma, reunited with your baby. We'll do everything in our power to help your little Kobold reach adulthood in a happy home, and you and Tiger won't be forgotten.
