As some of you know I operate a private animal sanctuary. Mostly we care for cats and kittens.
A mommy cat had a litter of five seven weeks ago. Four have died in the last four days. We flea combed them, and thought all was well but they became anemic recently. We lost four thinking it was the anemia. Now however, it appears it may have been cat Herpes.
It doesn't transmit to humans but it is a contracted virus like that humans suffer. We're thinking mama may have been infected while pregnant with this litter as she had another litter that are perfectly healthy and near a year old.
If she contracted this virus while pregnant every kitten she carried contracted the virus.
One little girl is left. Her heart is beating strong, she's currently sleeping in my lap. She calls out and follows me around the sanctuary, comes running when I'm in another room and call her after hearing her meows. She's so precious.
But now she's lethargic, her head tilts back when I pick her up, muscle spasms too but very slight.
Her heart is beating very strong though and rapid as kittens hearts are want to do.
That tells me she's a fighter. Our vet said the same.
If she had Herpes at the time she got the fleas and onset of anemia, the Herpes will make it harder for her to fight the steps taken to heal the anemia.
That's the background for this prayer request.
Please if you feel led pray for little Ivory.
She's a off white tabby kitten with soft brown highlights. A beautiful precious little girl.
I can't lose a fifth kitten in seven days.
They don't just go to sleep. They meow, struggle, reach out with their little pays as their muscles contract as if trying to hold on to life and not slip further into the darkness. And they stare right into my eyes as I cry like a baby and repeat over and over, I love you, I love you, I'll miss you.
Please, if you feel led, surround little Ivory in prayer.
God bless and thank you for reading this very long request.
Very sincerely and praying too,
Ocean
