I know it doesn't take the sting away, but at least you found her so she could have a proper burial Carole. I think it's more painful to never know and always wonder. You were Zaras adoptive meowmie and she knew you cared for her when those horrid neighbors didn't. Did Zara have any more kittens other than the one you rescued? ((HUGS)) to you for not allowing those kitties to languish without food or medical treatment. And curses to the neighbors who started it all.
