    Got some crap news last night.

    Very Sad don't read if your not up to it

    The animal rescue reached out to us the other week to ask if we’d noticed anything wrong with Jill (the rescue kitten). Apparently she had some balance issues or trouble using a back leg. We were sort of steeling ourselves that she might come back to us (we told them if she had any trouble finding a home she was always welcome with us.) They were talking her to the vet to get checked over.

    We hadn’t heard anything so followed up yesterday only to find she didnt make it. She passed shortly after we spoke to them the other week. They dont know exactly what was wrong, but she apparently had some issues. We are shattered. She wasnt even our cat but… fuck man. just… fuck.

      Oh that is so sad. Many many hugs. I’ve been watching their lists waiting for her to pop up! But she had warmth, comfort, food and peace which she would not have had without you.

        same! I even set up a damn facebook again. I was so excited seeing those guys adopted last week but was starting to get a bit worried. I thought maybe they’d renamed her or something. but yeah. Guess we were her last home.

      I’m sorry. You did the best you could. You took her in and kept her safe, gave her a chance she wouldn’t have otherwise had. She passed warm and safe while being cared for.

      So sorry. Such a massive hurt when you try to do the right thing and it still goes pear-shaped. Hugs for all concerned.

      That’s awful I’m so sorry!

      They’re so fragile at her age, but know you did everything you could for her. Grieve for as long as you need, friend 💜
