URSULA FOSTER GROUP
October 28th, 2023 to January 3rd, 2024

This was by far the saddest experience I've had as a foster parent; all of Ursula's kittens died from complications of an Upper respiratory infection.

This is not a happy story, but one that needs to be told in order to honor the little lives that have passed.

These kittens, along with thousands of others die mostly due to lack of proper care in avoiding stray or feral pregnancies.

Please help by spaying and neutering your pets; and helping those that are in need.

But, good news, Ursula is doing well, and looking for a forever home.

On January 3rd, 2024 Ursula was transferred to another Foster home to help facilitate the adoption process.

Update November 6th, 2023

Ursula has a cold, she and her kittens were started on drugs on 11/1 but the kittens have lost weight since this morning. I am worried they could get much sicker.

They look okay, but not sounding too good (sneezing, coughing occassionally)

RIP sweet little Maggie.

I am beyond crushed that our little Maggie passed away during the night. She deserved a long happy life but she succumbed to URI early in the morning.

Born: Oct 22
Passed: Nov 10

I can only hope Maggie's siblings hang on and fight off their URI infections; it is often deadly for infants; I'm hoping they beat the odds

RIP my sweet little man, Mitch.

Mitch succumbed to URI late in the evening joining Maggie at the Rainbow Bridge. So sad, and tragic. Goodbye, my boy.

These updates are heartwrenching.

RIP my sweet little Hecky.

Hecky survived the longest of all his siblings; I really thought he was going to make it, but he died of an apparent heart attack shortly after a 'massive' bowel movement.

Here is the last picture of him; so tragic.
