Just a few prayers for the kitties in the ER I saw.

RIP little kitties.

I too, would never be able to work for a vet, just for this reason. Animal shelters (especially the kill variety), are out too. I just couldn't stand to see the misery and heartache day after day. I get emotional just reading a lot of the posts here also, even tho I have never met any of the PTers or their fur kids. I'm just a marshmallow!

I Have Been With My Cats As They Became Angels, And I Could Not Stop Crying Either. The Nicest Thing Anyone Has Said To Me Was That Shemp Was A Fine Cat, To Have That Many Tears Shed Over Him, And That Those Tears Were His Stairway To Heaven.
These Cats Have Thier Stairway To Heaven Now As Well , As You And I Ma Sure The Vet Assistants Have Cried For Them.
They Are Now With The Animal Angel Army In Whistler British Columbia , Having The Time Of Thier Lives At The Finest Luxury Ski Lodges Until They See Thier Loved Ones Again.
One Fine Day.

Thank you all for praying for these kitties. It made me sick, and I wish I could have done something for them.

I worked as a vet tech assistant for a few years, and I must say, the good times FAR outweighed the bad. Alot of animals I took care of, watched them come in sick and disstressed, but they left happy and healthy. It made it SO worth it. About 99% of the animals that were sick and needed hourly care, I took home with me, just so I could spend time with them. That led to VERY tired days. But nothing feels as good as handing them back to the owners who cherish them

I just wish people would keep their cats inside. I dont see any good reason not too. So many needless deaths happen, just because people decide to open up their door. I wish people were more aware of the dangers.

Anyways, it was so sad, and I hope that the kitten that didnt have an owner, will look for me at the bridge. When I took Andy back the next night, I inquired about the little black kitten, and they told me that he needed PTS. I was going to offer to foster and then find him a home. Wish I could have gave him a chance.

I cherish vet assistants such as you because when I have to leave one of my furkids over night, there's no sleep for me, I can tell ya. Just knowing that there's someone like you who cares enough to stay w/them means so much.
