Rest In Peace, Leah Options

Hello all, Fridays are my days to voulenteer at the shelter..I think this could be my biggest challenge of all. After checking on all the kitties in the adoption room, I checked on the ones in the back room. They are the ones recovering from sickness or surgery or just new comers.. Well, I noticed one of the cats breathing very rapidly and brought it to the workers attention. Everyone became concerned, as she showed no signs of being distressed earlier in the day. Her heart rate was rapid too. I knew something was wrong. They took her to the vet right away. I worked there today to help out with an open house function they were having and they told me they had to put her down. Her lungs were filled with fluid and she had a large growth in her chest. Gosh, I felt so bad....She was brought in as a stray, no one knew her history or how old she was.

To Leah:...I sometimes think you know you were sick and hoping for someone to love you. You were almost there. For a short time you were given shelter, food and care. I wish I could have been with you to hold you and let you know you are loved (at least by me, even though we didn't get to know eachother). I hope peace, happiness and love surrounds you at the bridge...xo

This is tough..They say it doesn't hurt so much when your not attached..either way, it still tugs at the heart strings...Ann

How very sad, the poor darling, at least she was cared for at the end thank goodness. I wonder what story she would have had to tell? I feel so sorry for animals, they are so dependant on us to care for them.
