We are sad

We lost the little girl kitten yesterday. She got sick again over the weekend. Having FIV and no immune system, she just couldn't shake the upper respiratory infection. She would seem better for a few days, giving us hope, only to crash again. She was running a high fever even on antibiotics and our vet felt like it was time to make the tough call. It hurts because she was such a cute baby. But she couldn't get well and no amount of medicine or time or money could fix it.

Anyway, it's been a rough couple of weeks in that respect. But on a positive note the little boy is doing well. He still has a weepy eye and is still on meds. But he eats well, is gaining weight, and is very active and playful. We believe he will make a full recovery.
It's been an expensive emotional roller coaster trying to save these rescued kittens, but honestly? I'm sure we would (and will) do it again if the need arises. It's what we do and I am so thankful to have a husband who believes in taking care of animals in need as much as I do.

Oh no. We are so sorry to hear the news. I hope the little boy will continue to thrive, and find a forever home. Thank you both for taking care of both of them.
