(Sigh)
Bella the kitten had to be put to sleep earlier this week. The neurological damage went from her walking in circles to a paralysis of everything below her front two paws, then trouble breathing. At the very least, in her last weeks of life, Bella had a full belly and was warm. Mom's neighbor-friends went with her to the clinic for support.
The good thing, though, is that Mom is now getting into animal rescue with her friends, and they're actively trying to trap a few ferals/runaways in the area, in order to get them out of winter's way.
