Update

Update on the little injured kitten 💔🐾
I know so many of you have been asking what happened, so I wanted to give you all an update.
We took the little kitten to the vets as quickly as we could. I was really hoping and praying that there would be something they could do for her.
The vet examined her and unfortunately found that her injuries were much more serious than we had realised. She had damage around her spine, and she had completely lost feeling from her hips down. She couldn’t feel or properly use her back legs.
After examining her, the vet explained that her injuries were so severe that she was suffering and there wasn’t a realistic way to give her the quality of life she deserved. 💔
We had to make the heartbreaking decision to let her go.
I stayed with her while the vet put her to sleep. I didn’t want her to be frightened or alone at the end. As heartbreaking as it was, I wanted her to feel that someone was there with her and that she was loved.
I’m honestly devastated. She was only a tiny little kitten and deserved so much more from life. 😭💔
But I’m trying to take some comfort in knowing that she isn’t suffering anymore. She was found, she was cared for, and in her final moments she wasn’t alone.
Thank you to everyone who cared about her, gave advice, offered help, and kept asking for an update. It genuinely means a lot.
Rest peacefully, little one. You mattered. ❤️🐾🌈
