The last 48 hours haven’t been happy. We took Louie in to the vet, and were advised to return him to the Humane Society. Apparently all our ongoing struggles to get him to eat had some cause: Louie’s not well.
I don’t even have words to express how heartbroken K. and I both are at this turn of events. We’ve fallen in love with this little guy. I wish we had the means to offer him the kind of ongoing medical care he needs, but we just don’t. So we brought him back this morning. Hardest thing ever.
I feel it’s important to say that I don’t fault the Oregon Humane Society at all. It’s unfortunate that we couldn’t have had a clearer picture of Louie’s health before we adopted him, but the OHS tries to serve so many kitties with stretched resources. These things happen.
Anyway, I’m going to take a few days off from internet things, finish out my emotional reactions, and rest. I’ll see you all later.
And, I can’t thank you enough for all the kind Tweets and Facebook notes. They’ve really helped.
oh, diane, i’m so sorry: for you, for k, and for louie. hang in there!

Just found your blog and just read this entry. So so sorry for your loss. I know it couldn’t be hard to turn him back over. I wish something else could have been worked out. But he knows he was loved for the time he was with you, and hopefully he can get the care he needs. I just wish he could be returned to you afterwards. Is there a chance of that? Hugs to you and yours.

So sorry to hear about your precious kitty :( All of my pets have been rescue pets and I totally understand how attached we instantly become to these wonderful beings. They are brought into our lives for a reason, and I know that Louie understood how deeply he was loved. Sending love and healing to you and Louie.

I am so sorry to hear that. I am such a cat lover and we’ve only had rescue cat too. It is unfortunate that we don’t always know when we’re getting a sick kitty – that happened to me one time too and I was devastated. Sending you hugs.

My deep condolences. I have a 12 year old humane society grey kitty who I love dearly, so this really hits home.

Diane, I am so sorry to hear about this! It is bringing tears to my eyes. I hope you will think about getting a new kitty some time, whenever you feel ready for it. Take care and I hope things get better.
