This is Sasha, about a week ago a friend in rescue received a phone call to say that there was a kitten hanging around a house, they had put a cardboard box in their open porch for her. When my friend arrived she found a very thin friendly kitten. The people were sitting in a warm comfy house with a Cat on the sofa, yet they wouldn't let this clearly unwell kitten into their home in this awful weather, she was wheezing loudly and clearly not well. My friend gently lifted this frail little girl into a carrier and brought her home.
The vet said that the kitten was less than a year old, gave her injections and some medications and said to bing her back in a weeks time.
Sasha, as my friend decided to call this little girl was given a snug bed with a heated pad which she loved snuggling into, clearly she had not had much comfort in her short life. She loved being fussed and clearly at one time she had been a house cat. My friend was determined that once well enough Sasha would be spayed and a loving new home would be found for her as clearly she was a very special little lady.
Over the weekend my friend grew very concerned as she felt Sasha was not responding to her medications and took her to the vets and asked them to do bloodwork on her. The results caused concern and Sasha was x-rayed. this beautiful friendly little girl was found to have a massive tumour in her stomach which was pressing on her ribs and lungs, there was nothing the vets could do, the tumour would kill her and the only kind thing left to do was to do was to put her to,sleep.
This kitten touched us all, I never met her but heard about her and saw her photos and I admit I cried when I heard she had been out to sleep. How unfair when her life was going to change for the better.
Sasha now cradled gently in angelic arms.
