Julie, I just realized these were your posts. I am so sorry. You are so amazing and I know you loved him and cared for him more than anyone else on earth could. All we can do is our best and you did more than that. I have to remind myself of what you said when we lost our little Step Kitty - they are warm and safe and have love and full bellies at the end and that is what matters. Bless you for all you do for our little 'hood kitties.
