That’s a heartbreaker. So sorry to hear that you were in an impossible bind, and that you had to lose such a wonderful little companion. May you find another, healthier little sweetie to fill the void soon.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I did recently adopt another tiny tortie from womeone who advertised her as an “ugly cat who needs love.” Okay, the short-haired ones aren’t as beautiful as the long-haired ones, and she’s skittish. Right now she’s hiding under the bed and won’t come out. But we leave food out for the cats, and I believe she’s been eating. The woman who was giving her away didn’t spay her, and she’s currently preggers with her *second* litter, and she’s only about 9 months old herself. I’m hoping she’ll tame down eventually. She let us pet her and hold her the first night (last Sunday). I’ll find homes for the kittens and then spay the little mama cat, who is about the same size as the one I recently lost. I’m also going to do butt checks on the cats now that I know what a prolapsed rectum looks like.
