One of my foster kittens just died in my arms..

[prozacnation]

I have no idea what happened. I am beyond sad at this moment. I guess it's part of the deal when you foster. Still, I feel horrible, absolutely horrible. I've been crying like a baby.

I just hope it wasn't distemper because if it was my other kittens are in trouble. All are going to the vet this morning.

1. Poor thing!

Aww, that's too bad. Poor baby must have been pretty sick. Let us know how the vet visit goes.

17. I just got off the phone w/ her - another one died

she's racing to the vet's office, and is a basket case. I'm gonna go play w/ my 7 fosters now...it's too depressing.

21. Two in one day?

:cry::cry:

2. I'm so sorry.

That is terrible. Hopefully, the other kitties are fine. Let us know what the vet said.

3. oh no! poor thing.... don't for a second blame yourself

you are an angel for being a foster mommy and for taking them all to the vet.... how many are there and how old are they?

:cry: :hug:

8. I have like 15 foster kittens

However, in the condo with the sick one are 5 others, ranging in age from probably 3 weeks to 7 weeks.

Kitens are so fragile, they can go from healthy to dead in no time at all. This just sucks!

[expatriot]

11. 15! wow, you do have your hands full.

best of luck at the vet!

[AFSCME girl]

4. Awww, I'm so sorry

prozacnation :( Thank you so much for being a foster parent and for doing what you could for the little one that just passed. O8)

Love,
AFSCME girl

5. Let us know how it goes with the others.

Sorry for your pain, but thanks for the good work you're going with fostering.

[xmas74]

6. I'm sorry.

[kittenpants]

7. at least you gave it a good, loving place while it lived.

I'm sorry! I grew up on a farm and tried to raise and tame the kitties and they always ended up dying too. I know it's hard.

[bertha katzenengel]

9. I'm so sorry, prozacnation

That is so hard to deal with. Best wishes and lots of :love: going your way today.

[ET Awful]

10. Oh no! :(

It's not your fault, you're doing the best you can for the little furry babies.

:hug: :cry:

[mike_c]

12. oh! I'm so sorry!

:hug:

[City Lights]

13. Oh wow. So sorry, prozacnation.

:cry: :hug:

Hat's off to you for being a foster mom. I used to do it but couldn't anymore. I became too attached to them and saying good-bye was heartbreaking. I always thought it would get easier with time, but it never did. We ended up adopting the last cat we fostered, bringing our total to 7. :crazy:

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. I am so sorry *hugs*

[fleabert]

15. oh no! I am so sorry.

cry all you want, and good for you to foster a litter, there aren't enough of us. Just know she passed in loving arms. :hug:

and :cry:

[jukes]

16. utmost sympathy!!!

so sad, but you're doing a VERY good thing, & i hope all else worx out.


:cry: :grouphug:

[prozacnation]

18. Make that two have died...

the other four are at the vet and seem to be doing okay. I know some people think so what, they are just rescue kittens but every life should be valued. If I hear one more survival of the strongest, blah, blah, blah.. It's hard to think of any of that when you've just held two dying kittens.

[Blue Diadem]

20. All little lives deserve to be loved,

thank you for being there for those kitties.

[ronnykmarshall]

22. Baby I'm so sorry.

But you gave those little babies some quality that they would not have had in the wild.

[Heidi]

19. Your little ones died knowing . . .

they were loved. That's good karma for both of you. :hug:
