Sad :( My hubby found this baby kitten day before yesterday. He took it to the vet yesterday: weighed 1/2 pound, infection in the eyes, temp a little elevated. Vet told hubby that sometimes this type of infection could be fatal, especially to tiny babies (runt). Took kitty home with medicine, bottle and milk. Very sad to say we lost her yesterday afternoon. She never had a chance, the infection attacked her fiercely and quickly. Within an hour of starting to go down hill she was gone. Nothing we could do. Even though she was found and we only had her for a very short time my heart is breaking. This is the life I live, death of rescue animals. I think it is time I have a serious talk with the grim reaper - it is time for him to leave my rescue and go elsewhere. Thank you for letting me share my story. :(
So don't be discouraged ..Keep doing what you do. It makes a big difference in these poor animals lives. I will continue to help too. Think of it as we are caring for Gods creatures. Thanks Suzanne
I am so sorry this little girl lost her battle to survive and I send you and your hubby a million blessings for TRYING to save her.
Sending the Angel of Animals to guide her safely home. God bless her little soul.
She looks a little bit like my "Flöhchen" (= little flea) that I took from a farm 20years ago. She had every parasit an animal can have: Masses of fleas ( so this gave her the name), tapeworm, mites in her ears and eyes, one eye was damaged and she was much too lightwighted but she was the most loving cat in the world.
Had to put her to sleep 5 years ago and it still aches so much...
I hope that you can save many moore animals and they all can have a happy live :o)

It's been a while, but my son and I have ended up with strays, a few cats, but mostly dogs - even one the vet was going to have to put down if he couldn't find anyone to take her (he'd even make sure she had all her shots), so guess where she ended up!
Bless you, Bonnie
I found a new kitten one time under a delivery truck that had pulled in to my brother's business. It must have crawled up underneath the truck when it was stopped. It was on the muffler, terrified I'm sure, and had ridden there for quite a distance. Her little feet were burned beyond blisters. I nursed her back to health and gave her love. But I couldn't keep her. One of my brother's neighbors offered to give her a home. But I don't think she was meant to be. Shortly after she went to live with the neighbor, one of those door to door solicitors scared her. She freaked out, darted across the street and was hit by a car and died. So much trauma for such a young life. But she was well loved in between those times. I'm sure your little darling there was too! Hang in there. These critters appreciate our efforts, even though sometimes it isn't enough to get them through....
