Oh, Heidi, I am so sorry. What a sweet little kitten in those lovely photographs, and what a wonderful story of how you rescued Gary and then fostered him so he could be adopted by that loving family. And he lived a wonderful life with them, even though it was shorter than had been expected. His kidneys gave out, and they said goodbye to him and let him go. Bless those wonderful people, and bless him, and bless you, Heidi, and all who love Gary and grieve him and miss him. My deepest sympathy to you all.
Now Gary is a beautiful Angel at the Rainbow Bridge, whole and healthy and strong again, that sweet little kitten scampering about to his heart's content and playing with and loving and being loved by all the other Angels. He is watching over you and his dear family and sending down love to you all. You know he'll be right there to welcome you Home.. One Fine Day...

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
