I don't know how to say this. I've been putting off updating this thread all morning. This morning, I went to wake the kitties to feed them and Jack was unresponsive and barely breathing. Poor little guy couldn't even hold his head up. We rushed him to the vet, who did everything she could, but little Jack didn't make it. The vet was crying when she told us. We were just there on Friday and she said they were all doing great. He was fine all day yesterday and ate well and played fine just before bed last night. The vet said it was probably an infection and there was nothing we could have done.
Brendon and I are completely heartbroken. Little Jack some how captured both our hearts more than we ever would have thought possible. We had planned a future with him, bought him toys, a scratching post, litter, and all the kitty necessities. We never thought he'd be gone this soon at such a tender age and so suddenly.
The girls are doing fine right now, but we are still grieving the loss of our active, adventurous, loving little guy. I love the girls, but it just isn't the same. I've never lost a pet before and it's breaking my heart. I can't think of him without crying all over again.
The vet is worried that the girls might have an infection as well so they are on immune building vitamins. Please pray that they are both okay. I can't imagine going through this again. |
