Thinking about her makes me want to cry. I found her in a ditch and she had lots of worms in her body. I did all I could to give her a good life but she didn't make it. I still shed a tear when I see her picture or walk past where she was buried.
I was right there, trying to resuscitate her, keeping her hydrated and all. I gave her food, covered her with my shirt and made her feel warm. She couldn't fight it and died.
She had been outside for 3 days and probably more when I met her, many people were surprised how she even survived for so long. I didn't even think about all that; all I can remember is how she saw me for the first time and walked straight into my outstretched hand. She thought I was her mum or something.
I can't shake off the feeling that I failed this poor kitten because she was alive before I met her and died in my arms. Her tiny body became so cold and heart stopped. It was the first time I ever felt a dead body.
