Default The newborn is gone to the Rainbow Bridge

Nothing much to say. Just dealing with the pain. He was 1 week old yesterday, purring happily, died today of neurological, apparently congenital, problem. I found him a week ago in the middle of the road crawling and crying and gave him a home and all my love till he died. Rest in peace, my love.

Prince consoles me.

This hasn't made me less willing to continue trying to save lives, on the contrary. He was happier for a week in my arms than he was where I found him, if I hadn't found him - and that's all that counts.

I am very sorry. He was happy during his short life, he had a family and love! Think that he was probably destined to die on that road, without nobody ever knowing about him. But you got to give him your love for a week and you enjoyed each other. Everything happens for a reason.

a big hug for you, you're a wonderful person.

Im so so sorry. I know the pain you are feeling. Most of the time we dont know why a newbie passes. I just console myself that we gave it our best effort and the kitten knew and sensed the love and warmth and never went hungry. My heart goes out to you. You will see him on the other side Im sure. He didnt die unnoticed. All of us here cared for him and were pulling for him.

In his memory I hope many more bottle babies will be saved. Run free and healthy sweet boy.

Thank you all. I miss him terribly. I can't believe how attached I became in only 1 week. I cried at the vet's when he died in the vet's hands in a way that I never thought I had in me. I love my cats more than I ever loved anyone, and I feel guilty about it.

You were able to give him a warm loving home for a week longer, whereas otherwise he would have passed cold and alone on that road. And because of this, you have done something amazingly special.

You were able to give him a good life, even if it was short, and I'm sure he passed feeling love and warmth, and that's what's important.

I am sorry this happened I was so wishing for him to be able to make it. You was a great Momma for him and you gave his last days full of love. Good deeds never go unnoticed. Bless you.

I know how you feel.
I also rescued a few month old kitten whom only lived a week or two before we found him stiff in the lawn.
RIP Shadow, you will always be missed.
RIP newborn kitten, may your life over Rainbow Bridge be a happy one..

Oh, I have tears in my eyes. I was rooting for that gorgeous little man. You must be devastated, but don't ever feel guilty for loving your cats. Cats love us unconditionally and one look from those eyes tells us it's all worth it.

Run free little kitten. You'll always be loved, we just wish you were with us for longer.

You did you're best for him and are a wonderful person for that.
