As you all know I help cats of many ages.
Last week I rescued three ferral kittens. Unfortunately these kittens were infected with FIP (feline infectious peritonitis) which is not eais to late, zero success rate. I had other kittens that were 1 to 5 months older who also contracted this disease.
Since Thursday I have lost 5 cats. I am about to lose one more.
One of the kittens, a 6 month old named Sidman, had latched himself to me as if I was his mother and I would have to hold him while I did all the chores. He is one of the kittens I had to put sleep.
I am trying very hard to get through this, but it is so hard right now.
There are four other kittens who contracted this disease, but I have managed to pull them out of the worst part of it. Three are in the clear, but one is still unsure. My last one needs to be put to sleep, but the vets are closed, so I am trying to make him as comfortable as possible, which seems impossible.
I am sorry that I have not been attending church, but I have been overwhelmed with all the cats and me and the kids being sick. Please pray that we get through this.
I know they are going to sleep when they die, but it hurts to not be able to touch and see them. It just seems like Sidman is just around the corner about to want to be picked up. It is very hard to accept they are all gone.
