Kim,
I am so SO sorry about little Autumn. But being in rescue, you KNOW how fragile they are at that stage in their little lives.
The thought NEVER, EVER crossed my mind about why you did or did not take her to the emergency vet. You did everything you possibly could for her in her short little life. And you NEVER, EVER beat yourself up over this. Animal Rescue is a crap shoot, girlfriend. You need to take a step back, take a deep breathe and grieve. I had to not take in anymore cats for a short time too. But it was burn out after what the shelter did to Carrie.
Carole,
I don't think they will ever know WHY Autumn went to the RB unless they do a necropsy, and THOSE are very expensive. It could've been a failure to thrive or Distemper which is VERY common in young kittens. We'll never know.
Now Kim needs our support and needs to grieve for her little girl. Hang in there Kim. We're here for you.
