Thanks everyone for all of your support. I wish, wish, wish that this could have been treated and that we could have spent more time together, but she was just a tiny kitten, and not very (physically) strong, though she was a fighter. She gave this her best shot, with all the tests and care we gave her, but unfortunately, too many things were going wrong and she began to suffer within a few weeks of diagnosis. She will go over the bridge tomorrow, in my arms. We could've treated individual symptoms, and we tried so hard for her,and I did so much research, but it wasn't meant to be.
I'm looking forward to my foster kitty, because he or she will be a reminder to me of all of the life that is still out there, even if my little Lola can only be with me in spirit. I know that saving the life of another kitty, even only days after her departure, would be exactly what my sweet, graceful, loving girl would want for me and Leo (my remaining cat). I truly think that this will help me keep her loss of life in perspective, with being surrounded by a vibrant new presence in my life. I think it will remind me that Lola hasn't died, but just gone away for awhile. She will never, ever be replaced and I will miss her every single day of my life. My heart just aches because it will be a lifetime before I see those sweet gold eyes and that soft blue fur again. I love her with all my heart.
Thanks again for all of your support. It really means a lot.

I'm glad, though, that she was lucky enough to find you.I agree, what better tribute to the sweet soul than to save the life of another. I think it's wonderful that you're able to transcend your grief and remember all the other needy furballs out there. So many folks I know/hear of whose kitty passed away say they won't get another one. I think that is so sad.Hugs to you and Lola.take care, Kerry-----Original Message-----Well, I took Lola in to get re-evaluated, regarless of the fact that she has been going downhill fast. The results of the second test and bloodpanel were not nice, especially with her emerging symptoms. The fluid in her chest is continuing to accumulate, she stopped eating (Ive been syringe feeding her a high-cal prescription diet), she is very anemic and very jaundiced. Her breathing has become very labored and she isn't really moving around much. After discussions with 2 vets and quite a few other sources of research (including this list), we've decided to help her over the bridge after we've had a chance to say goodbye. She has too many things off in her bloodwork, her red blood cells appear to be committing suicide, kidney enzymes are elevated, despite my efforts (pedialyte) to keep her hydrated and her liver enzymes are high despite my efforts to keep her fed (Hill's a/d). She is so weak, and since she is a just a kitten, who was born with the disease, it looks highly unlikely that aggressive treatment would do anything except buy her a little time. I think I'm at peace with my decision. I had plans to take a foster in this weekend, which I think I'll go through with since it will give me something to do and a place to direct all of my love. Plus, what better tribute to Lola than to save the life of another cat in need? I've requested that the foster be vaccinated against FeLV this once, just to be extra careful.
