Alice, Gentle hugs for Schatzi, Jack, Buster and Oni. I know how heartbreaking it is to lose them. I've lost 5 positive rescues this year, four from the came litter and feel your pain.
I understand your desire to do anything you can to help Rosie and Murphy. Please let us know how they do with the shots. I'll light a candle tonight for your babies.
