I just saw this thread about an hour ago and have sat here and read the whole thing...I cannot believe how fortunate Emma was to be placed with you! You are an amazing woman! I dealt with a similar situation when I was in middle school. A stray cat gave birth to a litter of kittens in our flowerbed and abandoned one single kitten on the same day. My stepdad found it in 101 degree heat (Summer) and we rushed to the vet. THey gave him a 20% chance at surviving. Night after night I stayed up feeding and taking care of this little guy...even named him Mickey b/c he was as small as a mouse! Memories aside, I'm so glad you're her "mommy", you seem to be doing a perfect job! You're in my thoughts and I hope to hear good news on the next update! |
