10/24/21 – RIP Sweet Marnith. Her mom, barely a kitten herself and pregnant, was left in a carrier outside of a pet supply store. A rescuer took her in and the mom gave birth the very next day. The rescuer had no experience with new moms and babies and she called our friend, Patricia. Two weeks later, after one kitten passed away, another became very sick. Patricia advised her and the rescuer continued to struggle another two weeks before she realized that she just couldn’t properly care for the family. And, although Patricia has more than her share of kitties to care for, she stepped in and took the remaining babies hoping to make them healthy. Unfortunately, another passed away and Marnith also took ill. This is when 4 paws 1 heart was asked to help. But, unfortunately, it was too late. Marnith was tested for panleukopenia which is a very contagious viral disease most often attacking kittens. Typically it is deadly. There is one remaining kitten who tested negative and is being kept separate and being watched closely. Please remember this little family and Patricia (as well as the many rescuers to devote their lives to the stray and abused) in your prayers. – diana4paws1heart.org/donations/
