Can you add my foster kitten Possum (aka "Possee") to the CLS? He was not an
FELV cat, but possibly FIP.
He was a struggling, failing to thrive white w/ grey kitten (who indeed looked
like a Possum), who had a rough start in life and I took him in to give him TLC
and see what I could do for him. Unfortunately, I was unable to get him the
vet care he needed/deserved due to approval problems with the adoption group he
belonged to/I volunteered for and I will forever regret that and feel guilty.
But I know I gave him a wonderful few months that he wouldn't have had if I
hadn't taken him in: he was kept warm, freed from the pet store condos, got the
royalest treatment of all my fosters b/c I never made him stay in the condo-he
had free reign of my two bedrooms, he slept on the bed with me curled in my
arms or on my chest or shoulder every night and we had love-fest sessions every
morning, with him purring away, he got the highest quality food and
supplements, holistic vet treatments, and a little kitty heating pad that
became his all time favorite thing. Sadly though, for whatever reason, whether
it be FIP, a congenital heart defect, or both, his little body couldn't keep up
with his mind and desire to live and he crashed without warning (besides a
swollen belly) on me in the early morning hours of Sunday and I rushed him to
the emergency vet clinic to end his suffering. He was a wonderfully sweet
little boy and although he was more an old-man cat then the 7 mo kitten he was
supposed to be, I loved him for who and what he was and I will miss him dearly,
especially because he became my sleeper-bud and I haven't had one since Monkee
left me in July.
He was my first cat/foster kitten to die since Monkee and that makes it even
more heartbreaking for me b/c the Monkee loss is still so fresh. I also wonder
why they keep crashing on me on Sundays?!
Thank you,
Caroline K.
