Precious Wee One ~ With Love

[Val Amirault-Vale]

You were found alone, abandoned in a kind strangers yard, 45 miles away, and only a few weeks old. How you got there is a mystery but how you got to my house is nothing short of a miracle. This kind stranger made the journey to drive you 45 miles to my house just so you could nurse with Momma Cat and her 6 kittens. It was your only hope of survival to be united with a lactating momma cat to build up your natural immunity that is only found from a mother's milk.

When I first laid my eyes on you, you stole my heart. How beautiful you were, even in your little frail body and wobbly legs. I wiped your little bottom clean from the diarrhea, and you looked at me and meowed so sweetly. I then placed you next to your new family of 6 brothers and sisters. I rubbed you gently with the bodies of your new brothers and sisters to put their scent on you in order to get Momma Cat to accept you as her own and let you nurse.

It worked! It was such an amazing sight to see you latch onto Momma Cats nipple and suckle away so eagerly, drinking down every drop of mothers milk. I felt such a joy and sense of relief. I felt hope for you.

Later that night, Danuta held you so tenderly in her arms and hand fed you 6 syringes full of kitten formula until you wanted no more. She then used warm water to rinse you clean since you had soiled your little bottom with diarrhea again, then gently dried your bottom with a soft Kleenex tissue. Danuta held you near her beating heart to give you comfort and love. We were both so amazed at how well you seemed to be doing. We could not help but fall in love with you.

As we put you to bed amongst your new brothers and sisters, you crawled on top of the kitten pile to snuggle in for the night. I couldn't help but think about the big dreams I had for you while wondering if you would make it through the night. I dreamed of you getting stronger day by day and soon growing up to be a playful little kitty who would run havoc in my house and bring joy to my heart. Aw what sweet dreams those were.

Sadly, by morning you had taken a different road. I desperately tried to save you and rushed you to Danuta's vet. They were all prepared for your arrival since Danuta had called ahead to alert them you were coming and in desperate need of emergency care.

The vet tried to save you, but you continued to go further down that different road, to the road that lead you to Rainbow Bridge. After you passed over we discovered through autopsy that your tiny lungs were so full of a severe bacterial infection which had rob you of life with each breath you took. You fought really hard Precious Wee One, you really did.

I'm so sorry Precious Wee One that you lost the battle but I am grateful to you for touching my heart. I hope we helped you find peace on your last day and night here on earth.

Momma Cat, your six brothers and sisters, Danuta and myself send you off with love.

RIP Precious Wee One



These pictures were taken just last night after feeding time. Precious Wee One was so happy and content with his full belly. Even Ginger Kitten hugged him goodnight!







Goodnight Sweetheart

So sad that this little one didn't make it, but after seeing how empty some people are, he got a chance to be loved and happy by those who know how to love.

Oh Val, I am welling up. What a lovely tribute to Wee One. I am so sorry this little one didn't make it. I am glad she was found and was made part of a family before passing.

RIP Wee one.

[Stanley Max's Mummie]

Aw Val I was hoping the wee one would beat it all.

How beautiful is that of Ginger giving him a kiss and huggies all night. At least he was loved no matter what.

At least this stranger tried nursing him and willing to drive 45 miles to you. Kind hearted people you both are.

Run free wee one run free along with other kitties.

[3piggles]

That was a wonderful to tribute to Precious Wee One, and the name will always be his. I'm so sorry he didn't make it, and even more sorry he had to fight so hard in the process. I know we'll never know how it all happened to him, but he got to make an indelible impression on so many people in such a short time, he won't be forgotten.

R.I. P. Precious Wee One, run free and happy over the Rainbow Bridge.

Val, I'm so sad to read this post. You have dedicated your life to helping these precious creatures. I'm so glad Wee One was loved and cared for by you

Danuta came to my house tonight and wanted to type in her own words..... a message from Danuta.......


Please send prayers for this little one, Please please. He came into our life for such a short time, unfortunately for such a short time. When we got him, he looked so sad and alone. Abandoned on some lawn, alone. We got him, Val so kindly brought him in with a MOMMA kitty and 6 young ones and we had such hope for him, he ate a bit of KMR, nursed on MOMMA Kitty, and snuggled in with the other little ones. We had such damnn hope, that in this case there would be hope for life, that he would be OK.

Who knows what he has gone through in the several weeks of his life?

Who knows? So many of these doggies and kitties are so abandoned, abused and tortured by people. This is a sad testament to Humanity, that these little ones are so mistreated. it brings tears to your eyes, when you hear some of the stories. All over the world, and in the U. S.

We tried to the best that we could. I don't know what else we could have done??

Precious Wee one , we hope knew on some level, deep inside, that he was loved and cared for, not alone anymore, abandoned on some lawn, with big dogs running around, alone, barely able to walk.


We hope to God, that he knows or knew. We so hoped that he would live and not be alone anymore and live, like we all wish for life and people.

We hope he felt warm, and loved , not alone anymore before he died. Unbelievably his lungs were filled with some type of spirochete bacteria, and he died.

Who would have imagined it, last night, he looked up at us so sadly, but maybe with some peace, when he curled up with the other little ones and MOMMA kitty to nurse, and then drink out of a syringe. He walked on hobbly legs, but walked toward us to be held God bless him!!!!!!!

And God bless all the other Kitties (and dogs too) he represents, the millions that die in Shelters, in the streets, all abandoned, after people tire of them, not taking care of them not spaying them abusing them. leaving them to die, without a blink of an eye.
It is beyond the testament to God, that this goes on every day, in the U. S, and all over the world. That these creatures of life ( like we are) with their own hopes and dreams, are so quickly killed, because we as Humans are so heartless.

This little one is a testament to this sadness. Please if you read this, please, please, please, help, please get involved in rescuing, adopting rescued little guys, get involved in shelters and rescue groups.

What else can we do?? How else can we help them unless we get involved and try to care and hope to save some lives. One at a time,

It is beyond heartbreak the Precious Wee One died? Why???
We could do so little for him, in his last day. there are so many of these little guys , that are suffering, it really is unbearable.

PLEASE GET INVOLVED IN SOME WAY, Please help prevent so many of these sadnesses. It is truly heartbreaking.

We hope he is at peace, and with God, that God loves him, and the millions that die yearly needlessly.

We hope he knows we tried. We hope that on some level with God, he and his so many brethren can open up peoples hearts , so people will not be so cruel, and try to change things.

Please help us change things

I'm so sorry for the wee one!!

[donna]

Oh Val, I am so sorry. RIP Little One. xx

[newpig]

I am sorry Val and Danuta that this little one didn't make it. I'm glad for him that he at least knew a few hours of peace, love and comfort.

[Clover]

Oh Val, I was so sorry to read that dear Precious Wee One had made his journey to Rainbow Bridge.

He really did know what love and care was in the short time he was with you. The picture of Ginger Kitten giving him a cuddle is priceless and heartwarming.

Val, what a lovely tribute to a dear little kitten

Run free Precious Wee One over at Rainbow Bridge. We will never forget you here at Wheekers xx

[idlewildgirl]

I'm sorry the pictures of the kitty hugs are heartbreaking, its like they knew and were saying goodbye! At least you gave wee one as good a life as possible near the end x

[weesilvie]

It's really rubbish that this had to happen, I'm with you all in the heartbreak - so tough.
The wee guy was given the best love, the best chance and the best companionship - I'm sure he will have taken all that with him
xx

[3piggles]

I have no doubt he felt warm and loved. Even at the vets he knew everyone was trying to help him, and the love he was getting was unconditional. I think most animals are greatful for even a short life with a lot of love and happiness. Everything Danuta said is true. Too bad she's preaching to the choir. That message has to get to the people who haven't been persuaded yet.

You three ladies treated Precious Wee One is if he were the most important little kitty guy on earth. Momma Cat fed him healthy food, and Foster Kitties welcomed him into their family. He was finally fed, safe, loved and wanted. Good job to all of you.

[Val Amirault-Vale]

Thank you all for helping me send Precious Wee One over to the bridge with love. My son came down today and dug a nice deep grave under a blooming Hibiscus bush. I know this sounds harsh but I had been keeping Precious Wee One in my freezer all wrapped up neatly in soft cloth and placed him inside a freezer bag until my son could get here. It was never my intention to keep him in my freezer for so long but my son was unable to make the drive down here until today. Together we placed Precious Wee One inside his grave once I removed him from the freezer bag. I laid beautiful pink hibiscus flowers all around his cloth wrapped body and said a prayer for him. My son then cover him with the earth. I placed another single pink hibiscus flower on top and said good-bye.

RIP Precious Wee One

[3piggles]

I'm glad he's finally laid to rest. I had to do the same thing. You treated him with love and respect, and that's all you could do. R.I.P. Precious Wee One.

[Val Amirault-Vale]

I just had to share this....

I just looked outside my patio door and found Haney laying on top of Precious Wee One's grave! I had placed a pine cone along with a single pink hibiscus flower on top of Precious Wee One's grave and Haney is laying there yet not disturbing the placement.

Do you think Haney knows a baby kitten is buried there? Do you think he is saying good bye too? I had my son dig the grave a good two feet deep so no wild animal would be able to dig Precious Wee One back up. Was that deep enough?

[cdnsongbird]

What a precious photo! I'm all teary-eyed again reading this. RIP little one!

[piggylove]

Those are very touching photos. I do think Haney is saying goodbye. Cats seem to have so many more senses than we do. I really think Haney knows Precious Wee One has passed and that is his way of saying goodbye.

RIP Precious Wee One. You were loved very much.
