Dealing with Death

The death of an animal is usually one of the saddest deaths to deal with. This is mostly because animals can't really tell you in words how they feel. They don't have their own last words to be remembered by. whenever they do pass, their humans will never let themselves stop being guilty over thinking of what they could have done. Even if you could have been there earlier, problems would have still arisen. It's ok. Don't think you're a bad person or anything, we all still love you.

Something important to know about cats is that their average internal temperature is 102F degrees. We've tried rescuing kittens abandoned by our cats before and the best you can do for heat if you don't have a lamp is to put a heating pad under them or to keep them close to your body. A human's warmth isn't as good as another cat's but sometimes it helps. Whether he was too cold you'll never know. His eyes being crusted over is usually an indication that he might be sick, so chances are that he may have died no matter what you did. I actually don't watch your stuff, but your video happened to be in the related of that of someone I do follow, and I watched you try. For someone who'd never done it before you did a better job than I would have expected. The nutrient the kitten needed in the milk replacer for the best chance to thrive was colostrum. I remember using a formula that had some for a wild cottontail rabbit orphaned when someone mowed over their den. Just like the kitten, the rabbit died, though in my case it's possible I fed it buds from the yard that were toxic. I won't tell you not to feel bad because you will anyway, but know that you tried your best and that's all it could ask for. This first kitten was a learning experience for if you ever encounter another that needs the same help. It sounds very daunting, but things like vaccines are things that technically you can be a little more lax with. Our kittens constantly came into contact with other cats that weren't consistently vaccinated with no issues. If you're worried, keeping the cat that is going to be in contact with it vaccinated should be fine. I think I'm rambling. Anyway. I felt the need to leave well wishes to you despite everyone else doing the same because I know what it feels like to watch an animal die in your care. It's a terrible feeling, even if the circumstances are beyond your control. Just remember that it's not your fault.

Never forget that. Will will always adore you and look up to you. you are the best roll modle anyone could ever have.

She's in a better place now! She is with her mother in heaven!

Stacy : my hair is crazy I apologize Me : STACY YOUR HAIR SLAYS ITS PERFECT

My cat is 21... She is going to die soon. She had a good life.

I'm sorry for your loss Stacy❤️

I love your Grandma's painting!

Stacy, I look up to you so much and I really hope you'll be feeling better soon. My pet Guinea Pig and my rabbit have both died recently and I totally know how it feels to feel guilty and regretful because of stuff like this. The kitten was so happy to finally have "a mom". If the kitten was alone for any time longer he would have been suffering so much more. Stay strong girl.

Stacy's an inspiration to all💙

my hamster died not too long ago I was crying and it's sad it's the second death I've seen my father also died R.I.P

I found a kittrn too it lasted a week then died . I miss him a lot T-T

Stacy you tried to save him it was all you can do.my mom said that when a person or a animal dies it means that God needed another angel in the sky to help him.i know how it feels to loose some one and so does my mom her mom died when she was 9/10 and she had to work at that age and had to feed herself and my grandpa died just when I came back from seeing him in a trip I was so sad.but it's god's decision when they need to go they are not suffering anymore.I Love you Stacy you are one of the very little people in this world that has a gigantic heart

It's okay Stacy you did your best and the kitten would have known someone cared for it

im so sorry stacy.you are beautiful DON'T let any thing get to you!!!!! you are amazing

Stacy U are the only person I know that would do something so sweet to save a life I just can't even belive how sweet U are and u did everything u could I love u Stacy hope this makes u happier

Stacy its ok, you did all you could. I know you probably wont see this but just know we ALL know you tried your best, you did all you could to save the kitten.

A day after your kitten died my cat died I miss him so much he was 18 years old

I just cried. You are the strongest emotional person I have ever seen. If I was in that posision I think I would have dehydrated from crying. I wish you well recovering from this awfully unlucky loss. We all love you Stacy! And even that you tried was good enough for the kitten. He was loved!

U have a heart of gold u know that I've seriously been through the pain U did the best u could
