Ira Jr.
by: Sabrina on Thu, Apr 17 2008

I just lost my sweet, loveable, Ira Jr. to this disease. I had never heard about it until the vet told me the awful news. I adopted him from a shelter in January. He was a little sickly then but with antiobotics he perked up and had a few good months. He would have been 6 months old this week.

My only fear at this time is that I have another kitten that I adopted with him. She is a month younger but has always been much more perkier and healthier. I pray that she doesn’t have this awful disease.

The only thing I do know is that this little precious gift did not have to die in a cage somewhere. He was in a home with people that loved him. My sister-in-law and I were both with Ira when he left us.

From what I am reading I know in my mind that I did what I could, but my heart aches from the loss.
