This has happened to me..... so you are not alone.

Any shelter setting is very stressful for most animals in general, but they do play havic on the ones that are pregnant, old, and of course ill.

You provided them with the best chances of survival. Because they were not viable - this is not anyone's fault. It was nature's way and not preventable.

The girl at the MSPCA was not leading you astray. You hit bad luck. But I will tell you that not all kittens survive and therefore you must be prepared for this fact.

I would start all over again and maybe consider taking in young kittens that need your help. They will be a little sturdier and their chances of survival will be better. What you need to get you back into the saddle is something positive. Try fostering a cat that is young but not too young and fragile.

If your health is not great - don't go for a puppy. My health is just fine but the pups completely exhaust me. As cute as they may be - they are handfuls.

Please continue to foster. It is a very difficult job but very rewarding.

Best to you.
