Okay I found a kitten about three days ago. When I found her she was laying in the middle of the road no other cats around or no home she could have came from. When I found her she looked ill and she was starving. From the moment I got her home I could tell she was sick. She was breathing heavy, her nose was runny, And her eyes were goopy. And for the first night she wouldn't eat anything or drink any water. I had to feed her baby formula with a syringe And when she would accept it it was not much. The following day I finally got her to eat some soft cat food. and I was happy cause I felt that she was gonna be okay. The third day when I woke up she seemed to be okay but when I attempted to feed her she would not eat. Which to me seemed strange I just got her to eat the previous day. But other than that she seemed to be doing okay. So My girlfriend I decided to go off for a while so I left her at home in my bed where she had been sleeping all day. When we returned home I found her in the bed with her eyes open. She had soiled the herself and the bed. She wasn't breathing if she was not much. But she had a heartbeat when i checked so I attempted to give her some water and she was trying to swallow. I immediately had my girlfriend call the emergency vet and they told me to give her some sugar or some kind of syrup that she may be in shock. By the time I got the sugar she didn't have no more heartbeat. And now my heart is broken. And I would like to know what happened to my kitten. The more time I spent with the kitten the more attached I became. So by the time she passed I was pretty taken by her. (I know it was only 3 days but i am an animal lover) If anyone that has lost an animal the loved and would like to share there story please Feel free I would like to hear how you got over it. And if anyone has any idea what was wrong with my kitten please let me know. Thank you...

I'm sorry about your kitten D, i hope i can help by telling you that i am too an animal lover and have raised almost 18 kittens into full grown cats which are now not with me, it seemed like only a little amount of time that those kittens, in pairs of 5 first were found on my doorstep and raised by my older brother when he was still very young along with me and my elder sister, the brother being the eldest, he took responsibility to feed them, they stayed with us for 3 years and disappeared somehow, but one female cat grew up to become the mother of two beutifull kittens, turned out they went out the house when the gate was still open, then came another 2 new cats which were the offspring of the affore mentioned cat, they also stayed with us or quite a while, but then like the previous ones ran out of the home, due to a gate left open by some careless person, it was accidentall but i still remember all of them, i would tell you the story of the other 11 cats, but that would take too long, so ill tell you what happened to your cat instead, i think that youre cat might have a hairball stuck in her throat, which is why she wasnt able to drink or eat or breathe properly but stil had a heart beat, was she trying to cough up anything before? if not then try and post me another message, okay? ill try and help,

I think.You do well.Do not upset.When you find a kitten,it has beenill.As some small animals,they inexplicably die.I originally had a puppy,very cute and lively.The morning when it comes to eating and playing.By noon on the sick.Mouth,vomiting blood,I am scared.But the vet did not see it healed.I think it might be that they too small.Weak physique.
