Ugh she foster failed a kitten last year when it bonded with her other cat that was desperately missing her bonded pair brother that died with cancer at age 12. She met her older kitty when she was 5 and they’ve grown up inseparably together. Sweet new kitten had FIV but a good prognosis from rescue and vets.
Unfortunately just recently he was having oral problems, and was scheduled for major surgery next week to have teeth pulled.
Instead she unexpectedly found him unresponsive Thur morning; one of the best teaching vet schools in the US spent all day trying to stabilize him and in the end they gently encouraged her to let him go.
She’s devastated. Brought her and the older cat home for the weekend to grieve.
And today older cat is having her own different but bad issues. Going to urgent care vet tomorrow.
Dd is also struggling with a recent mental health crisis and diagnosis.
Not sure why I’m posting but could really use some thoughts/vibes/prayers.
UPDATE
Sadly after vet visit we now know older kitty has 25% kidney function left. Some palliative measures are being taken but she’s not much longer with us either. Just devastating and so worried about dd. Ugh the downside of loving pets. 💔🐾😢
Update 2
After almost 15 years today she said goodbye.
Devastating all around.

How about a squishy hug because losing a pet or grand pet is devastating. |

Your poor dd. I'm glad that she came home to be w/you rather than suffering by herself. It's so difficult to lose our furry friends. Mama ((((HUGS)))) for you.

I'm so sorry and hope all will be ok. Maybe at the appropriate time remind her how important what she did for the kitten was, there's so many cats/kittens in need...it was a brave, strong thing to do. And there are still so many that need help/homes, so she can continue to spread the love.

Ugh and today dd had to put her best friend kitty of companionship for 14 years (since she was 5) down. We are all heartbroken having bottle fed these kittens and loved them for years. What a shitty ending to her two best friends. Devastated.

I’m so sorry to see your update. Knowing it’s the best for the kitties doesn't help with just how very hard it is.  |

I am so, so sorry for the loss of both kitties.
I am sure your dd loved them well, and I hope she finds closure while grieving their loss.

I'm so sorry- it's so hard to say goodbye to our well-loved fur babies. My DD called this weekend, sobbing as she told me her DH's cat of many years likely only has a couple of weeks left.  They're going to try IV transfusions, but it likely won't be enough to help. |

I'm so, so sorry. My 16 year old cat died recently and I really miss him so much. It is amazing that I can grieve so much over an animal.
The short life spans of cats and dogs suck.
