Goodbye Baby Runt and Orangie....

[Reachoutrescue]

I have never posted on here before. Usually in Cat General and Cat Rescue...but I think this belongs here.

I rescued a momma cat and her one kitten about two months ago. The momma, Dottie, was very pregnant. She gave birth on July 13th to five fisty healthy babies. We have grown to love them as they have grown and change so much. But suddenly past Sunday one passed. Dottie stopped nursing. We realized how skinny the babies were so we got them to the vet...but it was too late. The tiny little orange girl passed yesterday. Everybody on pet talk had nick named her Orangie. Rest in peace little girl.

The vet said they were a little underweight but if I stepped in to take over feeding formula and baby food they would be okay. He was wrong. After the little orange one died, that left us with a very weak little black baby, another orange female and another black male. Well, the little black kitten died this evening. The surviving two are eating from their mom agian, eating baby food and kitten food. They are very thin still, but in better spirits. I am heart broken. I went to the store to get pedialyte and Karo syrup to make a mixture to help nurish the little guy, when I returned home he had already passed. I was only gone 20 mins. I feel like a failure. Rest in peace little Runt.
