I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, Lorrie.
I had 2 sisters who died withing 2 months of each other, too. Very
heartbreaking.

Subject: [Felvtalk] Maggie & Molly
Yesterday was a sad day.... I had my beautiful, sweet calico kitten,
Maggie, euthanized. She was only 9 months old. Her sister, Molly, was
euthanized last month, and they are buried side by side in the woods next
to our house. I took in this litter of 4 FelV kittens in July knowing
they'd probably all die, and consequently break my heart, but I had room
in my FelV sanctuary so I wanted to give them a chance, and they had 9
happy months living in the upstairs of my large rescue building in town.
I watched them running thru their rooms, scooting thru the tunnels,
climbing up the cat posts, and walking across the wall walks which were
built just for them, and they were happy kittens. Their three rooms upstairs
were all made into a cat play ground and also had second hand furniture below
the walk ways where I could sit and cuddle them or they could sleep. They had
a good life, and longer than they'd have had if I hadn't taken them in from
the person who was going to have them PTS because of the FelV virus.
For 8 months they seemed to be in perfect health, and I actually believed
they'd be fine, but then Molly, who was also a calico, got sick. Maggie
still seemed fine but a bit more quiet, but within a week or so she went
downhill fast. Two of the precious kittens from this litter are still
with us, and so far they seem in good health, but for how long? No doubt
I'll be in tears again when this horrible virus over takes them.
