Today was my shelter day. As I feared, Kate, the 14-year-old dilute tortie point siamese who came down with a URI passed away.
She was put in the shelter by her "loving family" because their child was supposedly suddenly allergic to her. They had owned her since she was a kitten. She had slept on their beds, cuddled on their laps, and they put her in the shelter, knowing it was not a no-kill shelter and knowing that her health was delicate.
RIP, Kate, you were a sweetie to me, even if you had a reputation of being a little grumpy.
