The Red, White, and Green

It’s with a heavy heart that I report that Dodo, the stray kitten we were fostering, has died. We had taken him to the animal clinic yesterday after noticing that he had started limping, but the vet didn’t see anything immediately wrong with him. The plans were set to take him to his new home this morning, but Dodo suddenly appeared despondent late last night, was having difficulty breathing by the time we woke up this morning, and didn’t make it much longer after that. 

I know mortality rates are high among feral kittens, but I really thought this little guy would make it. 

I would like to mention Purrfect Solutions, the amazing cat rescue organization that had agreed to take Dodo. If you’re looking for a kitty to adopt, this all-volunteer-run shelter is known as one of the most loving in Los Angeles. You can also help them win a $20,000 grant by voting for them in The Animal Rescue Site $100,000 Shelter Challenge (it’s free).
