Bless you for honoring your babies this way. When my guys leave this
world their meds go to their vets who maintain Good Samaritan boxes
and know their clients well enough to know who needs what. Other
items are re-homed too. This time, when Dixie left, she sent me two
kittens quickly so they are using her things.

toys, scratching posts, meds (chemo, pred., bladder meds, etc. etc.)

Heather, of course you should share your losses with us. It's sad,
but I
think it's really important to acknowledge these little souls.
As for the couple who committed suicide, I can't imagine the kind of
pain
that led them to do this. Times are so very hard right now, and
while I
feel a lot of hope for the future, the present is what we're living
in now
and it's pretty sucky. But if you *are* feeling anger toward them,
I think
that's okay. They had stuff going on, obviously, but they also had
three
little lives depending on them and they should have made some
provision for
them, either given them away or even taken them in themselves for a
kind
death, although of course this is the last resort. Perhaps they
thought,
like so many apparently do, that the cats would be all right on
their own.
I can't be angry at these people, but I do resent the way they
treated their
cats.
Sorry you had to do this. You did what you could, which is way more
than a
lot of folks would. Hugs.
Diane R.

Mary Christine thank you so much for posting this, I neglected to do
so
before people showed up to work on my pc and didn't have access
again till
this morning.
With all of my rescue work, I have heard stories like this
before...but it
is the first time it happened to me directly that I
was trying to save some only to find it was "too late". I can only
hope it somehow means they perhaps would have had a difficult road
ahead and
needed to be with their family, but of course that's little
consolation and
it feels like these people just left them to meet the same fate.
Last fall a young friend of my bf's passed away, he was only 37 and
left
behind 2 sr. cats who were, as with these 3, in the house a while
after the
death and it was quite a battle getting them healthy again.
They were not felv+ cats and these 3 had been in the house with no
food or water for 11 days. I am presenting rationalizations but of
course my heart doesn't really believe them and wanted them to have a
chance.
I thank you all for your concern...the rescue work is full of
heartbreak,
sadly there have been many losses I haven't posted here
but should have so they could be added to the bridge list. If it's
ok for me to send a list I will do so soon.
Thank you all for caring for FELV kitties, as we all know, they are
given
very limited chances in this world, due to no fault of their own.
Every cat
deserves love & good care for whatever time they have.
Heather

special thanks to everyone who has been working on this one all day;
we've learned that all three of the kitties were euthanized earlier
this afternoon, upon the advice of the shelter veterinarian, who is
very well respected in the area; the shelter itself has an excellent
reputation as rescue-friendly, the cats were placed on a long-time
hold yesterday, and rescuers were contacted this morning. this one
does NOT seem to be one of those, "oh, no, kill them just because
they're FeLV!" but terribly sad nevertheless.
heather, thank you especially, for trying to do the impossible, and
managing to locate others who are as delusional as you!
MC
