7/7/22 – First let me apologize if I’m starting your day with sad news but as anyone who has followed us over the years knows, I strongly believe that no living human or animal should ever leave this earth without be remembered. This past week has been a tough one for our rescuers who gave so much love to those who had no one. I will start with Quinn.
Quinn was one of some 40 cats who had showed up or had been dumped at a house where a very kind man was trying to care for them. Jessica, who contacted us, and her husband discovered the situation and contacted us for help with spay/neuter, vaccines, upper respiratory infections. One of those babies was Quinn. He was about 6 months old and had serious GI issues with diarrhea and vomiting. It appeared that his “rectum kept going in and out”. Unfortunately, the original caretaker never realized that this poor boy had constant diarrhea. After visits and medications while working with one of our favorite clinics, Comfort’s Place, the doctor determined that Quinn should have surgery because his rectum constantly went in and out with every bowel movement. The ‘purse string’ surgery was done June 23 and Quinn appeared to be doing well. But, on July 5, Jessica got up to feed the foster kittens ,as well as Quinn with his soft food diet, and she found that Quinn had passed away during the night. We don’t know what happened but Jessica felt that the chronic diarrhea and vomiting plus whatever was initially causing the GI distress was just too much for his frail, little body.
REST IN PEACE sweet Quinn. May you be enjoying your afterlife without pain. – Diana.
