I am so sorry................

[DrKym]

as most of you know by now Cricket and Katie have passed.
I have been through every single change or issue they may have had in home. The hardest call I ever had to make was to their mom and tell her they didn't make it.
My vet is still clueless. Penny will be picking up her amazing boy Gatsby on Friday.

I feel as if somehow I let these 2 amazing girls down. However I know somewhere deep that I didn't. I wish I had answers for their amazong mom. I wish my vet did. I wish that I never had to make that call on Friday.

As many of you know I am not if the Christian persuasion, although I teach ancient Religion. On the day tha t her cats passed a 6 week old tailless by birth tabby arrived in riescue, we as a family have gifted it and it's life long vet care. What are the chances of that happening? In 20 yrs of cat rescue a fully tailless non manx kitten has happened only once before. I feel that the universe was trying to comfort Penny in her time of loss. I also feel that his arrival was an omen to not continue to berate myself over the deaths.

Pemmy as I told you I am so sorry, I wish I knew what happened and I wish I could have known this would happen. Please forgive me.

Kym, you and Jas came to my cats' rescue during a horrible, stressful time. If I had still had the cats in my house in Denver when the city inspectors came through, I'm certain that the inspectors would have taken them away.

We just don't know what happened with Katie and Cricket. I do know that you loved them and took care of them as if they were your own, and you did everything that could have been done to try to save them. I'm so sorry that you had to go through this shock and sadness. It wasn't your fault, and there's nothing to forgive.

If all goes smoothly, I'll have a new home soon and can gather the scattered clan back together--including baby tabby boy Calawahake, who is a gift in every sense and an absolute sweetie. The house I've found has several huge walk-in closets that I expect will become feline havens, a staircase to run up and down, and a bay window for looking out and sunning.

I don't know why Katie and Cricket had to leave. Whatever happened can't be explained and certainly couldn't have been predicted. I'm certain, though, that they'll be watching over both our households and the creatures therein.

This is so tragic for all involved

RIP sweet Katie and Cricket

Kym,

You have absolutely NOTHING to apologize for. You did EVERYTHING you possibly could for those precious babies. You also went above and beyond, in my opinion.

Cricket and Katie finally realized the love they so deserved. You and Jas are to be commended for what you did, not only for Cricket and Katie, but for the rest of Penny's cat as well.

I'm just thankful that whatever it was that took Cricket and Katie, didn't affect YOUR cats as well. That surely would've been a catastrophe.

Love and hugs,

Donna and crew

I am deeply sorry for all involved. Katie and Cricket must have important jobs at the Bridge. And they got to go together.
