Dear Rachel,
I'm so sorry for your loss. It must have been a terrible shock to you to come home and find Endora. Poor little soul; I'm glad she was able to share her too-short life for you.
It's possible that FeLV had nothing to do with her death. Kittens can be quite fragile (despite all outward appearances) and the group I volunteer with has lost a few kittens in this way. Seemingly fine one minute and gone the next. One vet suggested some sort of birth defect, such as a heart issue that causes a very sudden death. It's horrible and almost akin to SIDS in human infants.
I hope you will be comforted by the good life you gave Endora and the memories she left with you.
Take care, Julie

Please add Endora to the CLS. She is one of two kittens I took in back in October. She was about 4 months old.Last night she was fine and playful, I didn't see her this morning, just put her food out and headed to work. I came home tonight and found her dead on the floor.Has this happened to anyone? She had an upper respiratory and finished her medicine by the end of the first week of November (almost a month ago) and was fine. Otherwise she hadn't had a problem.I've never taken in kittens this young before, but I figured if they made it past 2 months, the next "hurdle" would be 1.5 to 2 years old. I never thought I could lose them so fast.Rachel
