Aww. This hurts my heart. But bless you for bringing her in and giving her a caring passage and people to grieve her. Gentlest of Bridge vibes to little Lola.

I ran up there & didn't see a thing at first. She was a tiny brown tabby sitting so still in the leaves that I didn't even see her. She blended right in. She was so cold & wet & could barely make a sound. I put her in a carrier wrapped in a towel & met some other volunteers who took her to the emergency vet. She was so cold her temp didn't even register. She was FeLV positive & had severe ulcers in her mouth. The vet estimated her to be about 2 years old though she looked like she was only 3 months old. After some time trying to raise her temp they determined the best thing was to euthanize her. Her heart was barely pumping. I named her Lola so she would have a name before going over the Rainbow Bridge. It is so sad to think how long she may have been there & how many people saw her & just kept going without a second thought. What a sad story. Even sadder because I know she is just one of many who meet their end this way. At least she had a name :( Beth Don't Litter, Fix Your Critter! www.Furkids.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
