It is however very hard to accept and even learn from mistakes esp a one so simple and that could have been avoided.<br /><br />We agree with Teri. There are responsible breeders, vets and owners. Mombean also has heart scans done on her kitties. She is one of the few Russian breeders worldwide to start doing this because HCM is beginning to appear in Russians. <br /><br />Donating to Winn Foundation is also a great idea. Alexi did a post about the Winn Feline Foundation awhile back. You can go to her bloggie and find a link, I believe.Gallettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07062791988762007882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91155609234534103.post-70987443549819925502010-07-03T05:08:22.503-07:002010-07-03T05:08:22.503-07:00Our hearts are breaking for you and sweet Neala.

I know you are crushed right now. Please reach out and seek (and give) comfort to those around you, both human and feline, because they are all in sorrow too, along with you.<br /><br />Please call me if you need to talk...I am there for you.

But this isn't about me - it is about you and Neala, and how sucky and unfair it is for both of you. I honestly don't know what to say because saying "I know how sad and angry you must be" isn't true - I am sure it is hundreds of times more sad and angry then all of us here, because we knew her a short time, through a blog - and while we really did truly love this little kitten we never met you were her mom, so you really knew her. All I can do is offer you and comfort I can and tell you that we are thinking and praying for you to find some. Anything we can do we will - just let us know. I cried yesterday for Neala, I cried today, and I will probably cry for a long time - but it will never be close to the tears you will cry and sadness you will feel. This little girl really brought a lot of people together - maybe together there is something (what I am not sure) that we can do that will I don't know do some good so this doesn't happen to anyone or any kitten again.Amy & the house of catshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345856423713438044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91155609234534103.post-83116671646408587592010-07-02T16:48:17.327-07:002010-07-02T16:48:17.327-07:00I was brought up to be a cat lover & rescuer b...I was brought up to be a cat lover & rescuer by my family. I began the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde back in 1987 with Christopher T. Cat (named after my very first cat Christopher) as an adult. I've never been much of a fan of the hairless cats until I 'met' up with Harry & Fiona.<br /><br />Then there was Neala. I prayed for her. I lit candles. And then I cried. It's always sad when you lose a companion. But harder, sadder when you lose a kitten... who looked forward to a life of so much joy.<br /><br />When I read about the error I was worried. I hope and pray that you will get a good response from your letter. I agree <b>so</b> much about the lack of research in cats vis a vis dogs. (kinda like women vs men!) Please keep us updated!

She did so well through the surgery... and then something so simple as to feeding the correct food can just take it all away just like that...<br />I too have a mix of emotions - I am sad, I am mad, I am confused... I am just heartbroken, for her and for you...<br />I am so so so sorry Trish... Please hang in there, and try to take care of yourself.<br />I do hope that the person who made this mistake takes the responsibility for it, and never ever ever harm another kitten again...<br />Many hugs from us,<br /><a href="http://www.happycatfamily.net/blog.html" rel="nofollow">Happy Cat Family</a>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15382564582164811514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91155609234534103.post-63667256973303866572010-07-02T12:50:13.605-07:002010-07-02T12:50:13.605-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15382564582164811514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91155609234534103.post-46217192627228049082010-07-02T12:32:40.415-07:002010-07-02T12:32:40.415-07:00When we lose a beloved pet, there is shock, always...When we lose a beloved pet, there is shock, always shock. It is a terrible time. Explanations, apologies, admissions by professionals and compassion go a long way to helping us out of that shock so that we may grieve properly and safely. <br /><br />I hope the vet responds to your letter and acknowledges the failings the tech made in feeding little Neala correctly and safely. It can be very hard to get vets and human doctors to understand that you need honesty from them and are not seeking to harm their practice. You need resolution to what has been a traumatic time.<br /><br />Make sure you take good care of yourself during this time.<br /><br />We all send you hugs and love. <br /><br />JaneEverycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356564928470972448noreply@blogger.com
