Arnold Dear old Arnold had been outside in the neighbourhood for many years. He was friendly and social, but urgently required medical attention. He was slowly going blind and deaf, and was starting to hobble as he walked around. He had recurrent Upper Respiratory Infections - making it difficult for him to eat, and he started losing weight. He acquired a large gash on his head, and what looked like metal shrapnel embedded in his head. Just before he was brought inside, a member of the community sadly had him euthanized. This was very unfortunate and terrible timing, as we had arranged for an experienced foster with medical knowledge to help poor old Arnold receive the vet care he required; where he would have enjoyed the remainder of his days in the comfort of a warm home with ample food and water.

Été

The passing of sweet little Été, of the Four Seasons Kitten Family represents the hardships and struggles that all the homeless cats face outside. This passing stresses the urgency we face in bringing inside these cats and kittens.

In this case, Été was fortunate to have died peacefully in her sleep – snuggled up with her mother and siblings. She was warm, had a nice cozy bed, and her little belly was full.

Many of the cats outside are not as lucky, and die painful and slow deaths outside in the cold by not having their injuries and illnesses treated.

Été died at four weeks old, and is survived by her sister Printemps, brother Hiver, and mother Automne. November 2011

Apollinaire

Sweet, handsome, gentle Apollinaire did not survive his sudden on-set infection. Everything was attempted to save his life. His rescuers and fosters are devastated and broken-hearted over his death. This handsome sweetheart is dearly missed, and will always remain in our hearts......
