URGENT ADVICE NEEDED! Ashes and her kittens. UPDATE in post #50

[Reachoutrescue]

With a sad heart I type this. The last two kittens passed away shortly after my last post. I meant to post earlier, but the day slipped away from me. The kit that was born last night, JR. passed away in my hands. I tried to keep him alive, but it was useless. The last kitten passed away just before my children got home from school. The vet told me they more than likely would not make it, but I was really hoping we could save at least one.

Ashes is doing well. She is still a bit sluggish, but after all she has been through, it is understood. She is eating and drinking....and ever so affectionate. I think she will do okay...or at least I am praying she will be.

I will post some pictures of her tomorrow. Thank you all for your support through all of this...it has been a rough day. I know in rescue this happens, but it does not make it easier. It still makes me so sad and think that maybe I could have done something different to keep her less stressed. I do know in my heart that I did do everything I was physically able to do to try and keep them alive.

Thank you all again...very much.

Yes, you surely did. It's so tough to see this happen but you were there for Ashes and the kittens w/help and comfort for them all. RIP, little ones and just plain rest for you, Ashes, and peace to your mom.

Thank you for all you have done for Ashes and her kittens. I'm sure your heart is very heavy, because I know from rescue myself it never gets easier to lose any. It always takes its toll on us, but knowing that you did all you could for her and her babies should help you get thru this. Hugs to you and Ashes, prayers for both of you that you get lots of rest and will heal from your loss quickly.

We are so sorry. You could not have done more and we thank you.
Rest easy little ones.

The best thing that happened to Ashes is that she found YOU. You did absolutely everything possible, and you know that.

Think of the Phoenix, the amazing mythical bird that rises from the 'ashes' to fly and live again.

RIP, wee babies. You were so loved. So loved. Play as happy babies at the RB.

Tracey, {{{{hugs}}}}.

So sorry to hear that you lost all the babies. Sometimes no matter how hard you try, it just isn't meant to be. Thank you for all you did, and for being there for Ashes. She sounds like she's going to be just fine in no time.

Peace and love to the little ones now at RB.

Oh, I'm so sorry to see this news today, but like everyone else has said you did everything you could and it probably just wasn't meant to be for those babies. God had a different plan for them, but you helped make their next journey the best it could be. Rest easy little ones and let the healing begin for Ashes (and you!).
