I'm heartbroken to say Baby passed away last night. He had been struggling since 3am and would perk up after a few rounds of FKP before succumbing again to lethargy and muscle weakness a few hours later, a cycle that continued throughout the day.
He had an incredible team of caregivers at The Purr-sery and wonderful vets at Maple Springs Veterinary Hospital, but sometimes they're just too tiny and there's just too much going on. He persevered for 20 days(!) despite never gaining more than 5oz. Something in him just wasn't working properly.
His grammie had been helping care for him that day and asked to hold him as he passed. She pet him softly as he laid on his heating pad and she told him it was ok and that he could go join his sister. As if freed by her words, he sighed and was gone.
We will never forget his powerful purr or his mighty screams 💔

If it's not one thing, it's another! Last night's adventure was a hiccup attack!
Poor Baby chugged his bottle to quickly and had painful hiccups for almost 3 hours last night! I tried burping him, rubbing his back and chest, offering more milk, turning him upside-down (which is part of aspiration protocol and standing on your head sometimes works for humans), blowing in his face (which is supposed to make them take a big breath and help dislodge the air under the diaphragm), and doing a nebulizer treatment. Nothing worked and we just had to wait it out but he was so uncomfortable his little meows were unhappy squawks. The hiccups were violent and and longlasting, he was so sleepy that he'd all but pass out, hiccup, wake up, cry, and repeat that cycle. They finally subsided after HOURS of neither of us getting any sleep. This poor little thing needs a break! 🥺
When you are so tiny it takes your whole body to make a big sound 🥰
Here are some happy, twitching, little nursing ears to make up for this morning's sadness 😽
It's hard to be so hissy when being pet feels really good
These kittens are SO FIERCE! And SO SCARY ❤️ And mama is slowly coming around, though she's still adjusting. Everyone is eating great and using the litter box like champs!
Huginn and Muninn, my angels, apples of my eye, my little darling twins are still looking for their forever home! They're fully fixed and vaxxed and full of purrs ❤ Hu will chirp at you and share her tummy for rubs and dear, simple Mu just wants love and to be held and kissed.
Good morning from Mr. Mousie 🌞
This silly little cutie is available for adoption through Adoption Option Dog Rescue, Inc.! Send them an application to come meet Mouse, Squirrel, and mama Penelope today!
We've been working closely with Huginn and Muninn and they're finally out of the Kitten Room and hanging out on the main floor (even though there are "scary" dogs here)! Hu is still very shy but she'll yell at you until you give her affection. Once she lets you catch her, she enjoys being held but doesn't want you to know it. She curls into a little ball and freezes but she can't help but purr. She probably laid on me for about 20 minutes, purring softly while giving me her cranky little eyes. Mu is EVERYWHERE and just wants to be touching you, preferably with his face (or his butt) as close to your face as he can get it. His purr battery is self charging and never wears out!
If you have space in your heart and your home for this little package deal, send us a message! They are both fixed and fully vaxxed and ready to go to their forever home ❤
