    Melissa...I am so sorry about Milo...It sounds as if you did everything you could for him (what a kind and compassionate person you are), and given that the flea bomb does sound as though it was what caused all this, the best and really only thing you could do was to let him go. Damn that landlord...I just don't understand people like that...What is wrong with them??? How could he do such a thing?? I am glad that you're going to pursue this concerning the landlord, and good luck with it. Keep us updated about what you find out.

    I know you feel awful about Milo, but you did the very best you could for him...You got him medical care, and you gave him love. Lizzie was right when she said "How very, very sad that just when he'd found loving arms to care for him, he was too sick to save" and she's right, but remember this too...Given that it was probably the flea bomb that caused this, and he would have died anyway, at least he had you to look after him and love him and to humanely and quickly let him go, rather than him dying alone in that building...As tragic and unfair as it is that Milo is gone, he at least had your love and comfort at the end. Try to remember that and that he is at the RB now, happy and healthy and racing around having a grand old time chasing ladybugs in the warm sunshine with all his new friends. Please know that all of us are sending you and Milo prayers and hugs, and that you both are in our thoughts...I hope everything turns out okay concerning your bite...don't hesitate to go to the doctor if the redness continues or gets worse...Hugs and prayers...

    God bless,

    Judy

    Oh, I am so very sorry. Thank you and God bless you, Melissa, for loving him and doing so much for him and giving him such good care.

    Rest in peace, dearest Milo, I'm so glad you and Melissa found each other and now share this great eternal love.

    Judy-

    Thank you so much for your kind words. I did get some sleep last night which was much needed, my eyes are still puffy, and last night I was trying to call one of my other cats and instead I called him Milo.

    I did that twice last night, and everytime I said it I felt like I was going to cry.

    I keep trying to remember that he is happy and playing around and not suffering anymore, it's hard to think that way but I'm trying. I miss him dearly and last night it was so weird not to be spending all my time in the bathroom caring for him and changing his towels.

    Thank you again for taking the time to write to me,
    Melissa

    I just hate reading this. I'm so sorry but at least he knew what love is before he went to peace. Bless you for caring so much.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers
