Lime and his two siblings came to us from Eastern NC and all three
are FeLV+. A community cat colony was working on TNR and took
in a litter of fluffy orange kittens. When three tested positive, she
knew they couldn’t go back to the colony and that they needed a
safe forever home. This amazing woman got all three kittens fixed
and up to date on their shots and even nursed them back to health
from an upper respiratory infection they all had. Then, she and her
friend then drove a little over two hours to get all three babies to us.
We are very happy that we were able to take them in and, in return,
make more space for her to continue fostering. Lime is a little less
shy than his sister Lemon. He and his brother, Orange, love to run
chase each other up and down the kurandas and to play with their
toys!

Dear Supporters,
It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating news of Lime's
passing. We noticed that Lime wasn't eating his dinner yesterday, so we
checked his temperature and found he had a low-grade fever. His gums
appeared pale, which prompted a trip to the vet. There, we learned that
Lime was very anemic. After running additional tests, we discovered he
was suffering from DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation). This
serious condition caused widespread clotting throughout his body, which
ultimately proved to be too much for him to handle.
Lime, a sweet FeLV+ cat, arrived with his siblings, Orange and Lemon,
and quickly became a beloved member of the "Citrus Gang." These three
orange cats filled our days with joy, as their playful antics and endless
curiosity kept us on our toes. True to orange cats' spirited nature, Lime
ensured there was never a dull moment. Outgoing and confident, he
played a special role in boosting the confidence of his shyer sister,
Lemon. Lime brought an abundance of life and laughter to their room.
We are heartbroken by his passing and are so grateful for the love and
care you all provided during Lime’s time with us. While his life was
brief, his spirit and playfulness brought joy to all who knew him. Thank
you for being a part of Lime’s journey, and for supporting his care, even
in the hardest of times. His memory will live on in our hearts.
With my deepest apology,
Sam
