Worked my ass off to bring Spooky back from the edge. He passed away unexpectedly weeks later but his short presence was a gift.

I'm so sorry. Kittens are so very fragile, and sometimes they don't make it no matter what we do.

We rescued stray kittens from a flood and one had neurological problems and died after a few days, but in that time he was warm and fed and loved. Despite being feral he took to us humans immediately, and I think he helped his sisters trust us. Dammit now I'm crying at work :(

Im a vet nurse and a long-time kitten fosterer. Spooky came from a litter of seven very neglected newborns I hand-raised from two days old. Here is an album of them growing up!

I’ve lost many kittens along the way but Spooky hurt the most. He was better! I fixed him! But he must have had something ticking away internally. Here is an album of Spooky’s recovery.
