My family recently took in a stray kitten. He was one of three that, along with their mother, have been living behind our house for about 2 months. Little Angel became friendly and we took him in. Two days later he became very ill. I took him to the vet and was told he had panleukopenia. It was too late to do anything for him and we had to have him put to sleep. It was so heartbreaking. It amazes me that we only had him in the house with us for 2 days, but he managed to capture our hearts in that short time. My daughter and I both have cried many tears for Angel. I took a bit of comfort in knowing that at least his last 2 days were spent inside a warm home where he was showered with love.
