Update Post ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ•Š๏ธUpdate๐Ÿ•Š๏ธWe were unable to rescue some yesterday. They are shown below. Rest well little ones. Please keep comments to this post only out of respect for those lost & the communities feelings on this sensitive matter. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿค๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

As hard as we try to find rescues to save these kittens & cats it can be nearly impossible when they are all full now. So with very few adoptions there are little to no spaces opening for these poor cats. Unfortunately yesterday was another very sad day for the rescue teams. We even lost very young kittens. Neptune was only weeks old and Pryce only a few months. Not that it matters which ones or how old, none of them deserved this cruel fate. Brighton Talulla Payden & Zuriโ€ฆ were all worth saving! We just didnโ€™t find rescues open. Itโ€™s heartbreaking. We need to start finding homes for those in rescues now or it will only get worse. Thereโ€™s whole families listed now that we have nowhere to place. Itโ€™s getting worse and worse, but will still try our best to help them.

RIP babies, you were loved and are missed๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™ confused why Neptune wasnโ€™t saved but all the other planet babies were? Unless this is a different Neptune?

It is the planet litter Neptune. Sadly he was very unwell. A URI at just a few weeks old can be fatal. Neptune deteriorated rapidly and was suffering. Nobody hates Devore more than I do, lol, but I do feel that in this one case they made the right call. Kitten health is so fragile and can change at the drop of a hat. RIP, sweet Neptune ๐Ÿ˜”

Thatโ€™s so sad, poor bean๐Ÿ˜– it does seem like the right call in this case

I know ๐Ÿ˜” I still blame Devore, because their infection control measures are so bad, so they probably caused the infection. But still, Neptune was suffering and they probably made the right decision for her ๐Ÿ™ Poor baby

Realised I donโ€™t even know what pronouns to use, because they just write โ€œgender unknownโ€ for every single cat. They barely even examine them ๐Ÿ˜”
