A couple of weeks ago I bought this gorgeous kitten from a shelter. I had picked him out and went back for him a few days later, and the girl told me that he had started sneezing the night before but the vet checked him out and said it was just a cold. They gave me some antibiotics to give him twice a day, so I did. One week later he wasn't any better and the shelter called me to check on him and when I said that the antibiotics weren't helping, they said to bring him back for a shot and stronger antibiotics. They gave him Doxycycline and said for me to give it to him twice a day for 7 days. After a few days, he stopped sneezing and his runny nose cleared up. Tonight I came home from work and he was dead. I have no clue why, unless maybe the antibiotics were too strong for him or he had something a lot worse than a cold that they said it was. I'm heartbroken because he was the most sweetest kitten I've ever had. I can't stop crying.

My heart breaks reading this. What a horrible thing to come home to, I'm so sorry. It was so sweet of you to give the kitty a new chance.
It's so tragic, but shelter animals always comes with a risk of hidden diseases. You did all you could, the blame is not yours, you hear me? It's not your fault.
I'm so sorry I can't imagine the pain and sorrow you feel 💔
The kitty was loved and came to his forever home , you gave him all he ever wanted, know that ❤️
@Mardrae Good people always blame themselves. Especially when something happen the people or animals in their lives. It's a common normal response because the pain is too great to process. But you will be able to get through this ❤️ give it time.
