This is definitely the worst part of fostering. Skillet died Sunday night. Tuesday night Griddle and Pot weren't doing well. Mom ended up at the ER vet with Griddle but the kindest thing was to let her go. Pot went to the vet Wednesday morning but passed away over night. Ree and the 3 remaining kittens are at the rescue getting medical attention. Mom is cleaning the foster room and tossing a lot of stuff that can't be washed. We hope to get the back soon. Please send all the healing purrs.
We know you all know this, but this is the reason we preach spay/neuter. If someone has been responsible when Ree was a kitten, none of this would have happened.
But this is how we want to think of them...

This is very sad. Tiny lives extinguished... Godspeed, little ones.
ReplyDeleteI am so, so sorry. Thank you for your courage to continue fostering even in the face of such senseless loss. And, yes, spay and neuter is the best way to stop this heartbreak.
ReplyDeleteWe send you lots of hugs and purrs. It is a hard job you do and we thank you.

Skillet, Griddle and Pot had human love to take with them to Heaven; thank you for that.

I'm so sorry you got handed this. It's so, so hard when something catches hold and runs through a litter like that. Thanks for all your care!
ReplyDeleteThis is so heartbreaking. Poor little ones didn't get a chance. Lots of purrs from Derry and healing vibes from me for Ree and the other three babies. Hugs to you. ♥
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad. I hate that this happens, even though it is a part of life and rescue. Yes, spaying and neutering is SO important.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry, fostering and rescue can be so very hard. Hugs, purrs, prayers & POTP.

ReplyDeleteWe were so sad to read this post. We knew about Skillet but did not realise the damage was so much greater. Poor little mites. Paws crossed for the rest.
