A few years ago, my shoemakers cat had 5 kittens and they were doing really well for about 2 weeks. I was going to bring home one of the kittens, when she got older. Going on 3 weeks old now, I went on a Monday to see the babies again, the shoemaker, Sabby, told me that one of the babies had died that morning. We didn't know why, as when I went in the back of the shop, the momma, Angelina, was in the box with the babies and the rest of them seemed fine. Then when I went on Wednesday, 2 more had past on. It was so sad, so I tried everything I could to save the last 2, as one of them was the one I was going to take home with me, but they both passed away on Friday. We never knew why. I was totally heartbroken but I knew at least I tried to save them.
Despite your efforts Tracy, God obviously needed these little ones on the RB for one reason or another. You did everything you could to save them, but unfortunately it just wasn't meant to be. This has to be one of the hardest part of being in rescue. Please think of it this way, that they passed on knowing warmth and love, instead of being cold and unloved away in a bush somewhere. Bless you for all that you have done and are still doing for these little ones.
Rest in Peace Littles Ones and have fun on the RB.
