Standing in target my blackberry went "bleep bleep", alerting me that an email had arrived... An email from Bas and Cairo's breeder.
She was writing to tell me that my girls had passed.
I burst out in tears standing right there in target. I just didn't understand how in the world I was reading this... My girls were gone??? they're supposed to be home in a few weeks!
She had a visitor who they believe brought something into her home and infected the kittens, the adults are FINE. As best as her and the vet can figure, they contracted "I don't know what" and didn't inquire... then devloped a secondairy infection "phenmonia" which overtook them... She lost both litters! well... 4 kittens died and 3 are fighting still, at the vets, but are not expected to make it.
I'm NOT upset with her at all. I am just devistated over the loss of my girls. I put my deposit down when they were 6 days old! I have watched them grow to 10 weeks... that over 2 months of loving these girls.. I have their pictures in my wallet and framed pitcures on my entry way table... My mother has pitcures of them up at her work! These girls were part of the family already! I just can't believe that they are gone! How does that work??? I'm really not ok with this. If I throw a fit can it just not be? I mean.. its really not right! The girls are so special! And they really are so amazing together. Its really just not fair.
Am I being silly??? I'm really upset over this... I just wish I could go pick them up right now.
So I guess I won't be posting any updates or welcome home pictures. this really sucks guys! It just really sucks! I can't even imagian what the girls went through... It just kills me to think about it! Why didn't I know sooner, my vet could have saved them?? Maybe?? I would have done anything! I'd have given them everything, stoped at nothing to save them! Damn it!
