Rest well, little baby. I wish there was something more that could've been done for him.

So sorry for your loss. We had a kitten from birth until he was 8 months old. He was super healthy and sweet and playful, and two of my cousins had two of his siblings respectively, however he got super lethargic out of nowhere one day, and then we just let him rest, when he stopped eating we took him straight to the vet. It was sudden and unexpected, but I remember seeing his eyes looked pale rather than his usual green. Turns out he was born with leukemia, and by the time we’d gotten him to the vet his red blood cell count was the lowest the vet had ever seen in a cat before and that he was clearly fighting to stay with us. We had to put him down because it was too late. He was the only one in the litter who had it. We will always miss you Seeley.

Rip gus gus. 💔 it's like 2 months later and I saw the birth video. And today I found this so sad.

My Heart is with you❤❤❤ don't be surprised if Gus Gus finds a way to let you know he is still around you❤🙏❤️

Why did this have to happen😭 he had a whole life ahead of him😭

Poor little Gus, he was definitely loved ❤ My friend fostered a cat who rejected one of the kittens, so they bottle fed it. Eventually they realized the kitten had a congenital heart defect, and it passed away during surgery. The mother cats definitely understand when one of their babies is sick 😢

Aw man that's so sad🥺 I'm glad Gus Gus had you and your husband who loved him so much. He knew love and warmth from you guys and you gave him the best in his little life.

he had life but we're gonna miss you Gus Gus fly high little bird❤🙏❤❤🙏❤

I lost my dog at 7.5 years old to cancer, just a month ago he was running, playing & enjoying life. It's so hard when it's sudden but it really does mean the world knowing he had a great life being a part of my family❤

The plate with his little paws was such a cute idea to give to you. 😥

I know how you feel! I’ve gone through several cats. My most recent one, I had over 15 years. Then one day he just disappeared? The vet said he was too healthy to wonder off and die, and someone probably ‘adopted’ him. I’m praying I see him again one day. You did an amazing job with the kittens! I liked your husband’s reaction to paying for the surgery haha.

So sorry for your loss. It’s extremely hard to lose a friend, especially when you witnessed him come into the world. I did okay watching this video, right up until I saw the gift you got from the shelter coordinator. That just made me cry. You chose to do a very beautiful thing by becoming a foster. I’m glad you decided to continue doing it. Unfortunately, there will always be difficult times, but you are giving these innocent creatures a wonderful life while they wait for their forever families to find them. Thank you! RIP Sweet little Gus Gus. 🐾❤️🐾

I have lost --many kittens ---Moms with babies , and bottle babies brought into the shelter. It just crushed me every time ---and I almost quit taking on the tiny kittens after 7 yrs with the shelter.... But , I came to realize --as you did, that giving them the best life while they are here is a success ---they were loved and safe. That is huge. Your story and wise words have given me the strength to go forward into kitten season, and begin again taking in the babies--In Michigan it begins aprox March--- and I will again be taking in the most vulnerable, and not just the ones that are almost sure to survive. Sorry this is long, but again thank you for sharing the story of Gus Gus---and for saving so many lives... subscribed and shared !

Thank you for sharing Gus Gus's story! As a fellow animal lover and someone who is looking into fostering when I have enough resources, I love watching your journey. As you mentioned, it's a really heartbreaking thing when a foster or pet passes away under your care (had to let go of pet dogs and cats over the years) but again, as you said, what's important is that Gus Gus was loved and well taken care of. From what I can see, the future batches of fosters coming your way are so blessed to have a wonderful people caring for them. Much love! ❤

I am so sorry you had to go through this, i am sure gus gus is in a better place now.

Whats ironic is that my mom used to have a cat named Gus Gus, he had been around since I was a baby(I was born 2009) and he was a sweet cat he would curl up next to me at my feet or above my head and sleep with me. He died when I was very young by a dog that had snapped his neck. My mom was very upset when that happened cause he was like another baby to her. Your guy's Gus Gus honestly looks like my moms Gus Gus except he had dark gray fur with dark stripes and had a white underbelly. Unfortunate that happened to your guy's Gus Gus but at least he died knowing he was birthed into a loving home. At least knowing they had a fun time before they died is something that is more pleasant than having them die in the cold.

So sad and I'm sorry for your loss. What an experience to have him in your arms to watch a beautiful sunset as he crossed over.

I'm really sorry for that

I watched the first videos and I am so sad :( the loss of kittens during foster is very real and sad, rest in peace Gus Gus.

God bless the other kittens ❤ may Gus Gus fly high 🙏

OMG seeing the plaque with his little paws just crushed me😭😭

Thank you for the love you give unconditionally to your foster cats. Not many people would give so much of themselves for those in need. I’ve had many cats over my lifetime and lost my last 2 old cats to cancer and then kidney failure. One was 18 and the other 21yrs old and have been with us all that time. It took a couple years to decide to get another one but found two sibling sisters…. Fancy and Scooter. They came from a no kill shelter at 3 mo old and are precious to my husband and I. Keep up the great work you do and I hope your VLOGs will encourage others to take on the challenge of becoming foster parents.

Rip Gus Gus❤ you will always be missed❤

Bless little angel Gus Gus and bless you for finding the strength to still give your love away to these beautiful souls. It’s so hard to lose them, but you really do make a difference in their lives no matter how long or short they may be, and they make a difference in our too!! ❤ Personally, I feel that when you allow yourself to really feel your grief and share that with others it helps you heal.

Rip Gus Gus, “to have great grief is a mark of great love” -Dumbledore I think

You're such a sweet and beautiful soul. You have a wonderful way of thinking and reflecting about this whole situation. I want to share a bit of my own grief here. I lost my pup around a year ago and recently I have been having dreams about him and I get this amazing sensation - I remember the way he smelled and his fur soft to the touch, and every day when I woke up from the dream I could go for hours believing he's still alive. So he might as well be

Im so sorry for the loss.

You can hear the sadness in her voice

I found my cat when she was a tiny kitten in the middle of the street, alone, I took her in, she could fit in my hand and I bottle fed her.

I sympathize with you ❤...I'm feeding some strays, and one died and one of the kittens missing...it breaks my heart that the mommas only takes care of them a few weeks and they are left on their own.

I just lost a kitten from my first ever litter. I work at the shelter in adoptions and I've never taken anyone home before, even for an overnight, for a variety of reasons. These guys needed a home for just a long weekend, 4 days. Easy stuff to transition into fostering, right? A litter of four, around a month old, eating solid food. Easy! The second night, Laudna crashed suddenly. We did the heating pad, the syrup, called the foster emergency line. Her temp was 91 degrees. It went up to 97 in about an hour so we were advised to syringe feed her some food and see how she was in the morning. The next two days, she was doing great! Eating by herself, though a bit labored. Not playing really because she preferred to climb me or follow me around haha! But this morning, I found her lateral and barely breathing. We rushed to the shelter and she died very quickly afterwards. It sucks so much. Kittens are so fragile and can really take a turn so fast. She was such a sweet little thing. Her siblings are doing fantastic though and there's always more to learn and more to love. I will keep being sad and happy, grateful and disappointed. RIP Laudna ❤️

I'm so sorry. He was a great kitten and was looking healthy, but mother nature didn't like him in this world. He deserved better ❤

sweet gus gus. im sorry for your loss, but thank you for loving him and doing what you do :)

So so sad!! That's why fostering is very important. We need more people like u!!❤

The part at 17:17 actually made me cry. I've lost many kittens, all at such young ages. One was named Cheeto, because he was orange. He was a runt, but his mom, being my cat, never gave up on him. Unfortunately, we didn't have the right resources to care for him properly, so we gave him to our neighbor. After only a few days, we got news that he hadn't made it. There was also another kitten, born by my sister's cat, who at one point ended up getting covered in his own shit. It was all over him, and he was crying out so much. His mom was trying so hard to lick it off of him, but there was no success. My sister and I pleaded to our mom that we could help her, but she said he'd be fine. The next morning, he was dead. My cat Fluffy also died four years ago, and I've never gotten over losing *HER* of any cat I'd lost. Hell, I didn't even care when my grandpa died. I never had anything to remember them by. 💔

I have 9 kittens and two of the kittens were starting to have a heart attack.so I started to cry and I bought the 2 kittens to the vet and they told us that they died . We started

Gus Gus we love u forever you had a big life ahead and your mum and siblings loved you as well ❤❤❤😭🥺🥺😭😢😢🫡❤❤❤ we know your still here either way with your family 😭😭😭😢😢🥺🥺❤❤❤

Growing up on a farm with lots of farm cats I learned early sad as it is this is part of life.

I know what pain you are feeling because I had to deal with this same pain of Loosing pets. The pets I lost were all cats and they all were out outside cats and sadly all passed from really bad drivers hitting them. Because they passed the same way when the 2end and 3erd cat passed I remembered the other(s) that passed making their deaths even more painful.

RIP 🪦 GUS GUS SO SAD 😭

We also had 3 kittens whom we used to fed .They all were exactly of same greyish colour. Actually They were Street kittens but their mom was killed by dog when they were just 2 weeks old . So we started giving them food, as they used to roam near our house . They were growing fine till now and were 3 months old. But on 2nd jan 2024, while they were roaming on the road, one of those kittens was killed by another 2 dogs 😔 He was the biggest among all 3 kittens. The Other 2 kittens are still safe, don't know for how long. I feel really sad now because of that 3rd kitten death

Thank you so much for sharing❤Lady and her kitties had the best start and support ever

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. You are so amazing and doing so much good to help all these kittens. Thank you!!

gus gus was the cutest one tbh w/u. :(

Ahww, thank you for sharing. I'm happy Gus Gus with you and your husband. I have four cats and I dread the day when it's their time to go, dreading. I'm enjoying every second with my kitties. I'm really looking forward to your next fostering video series.

God bless you guys for all that you do ! Sensitive people are the most strongest people I believe ❤

You both are AMAZING Humans!!! From one animal lover to another Thank you so much!!! We also rescue from our shelter and have adopted many cats and dogs! Do not think I could foster due to not being able to let them go, but love my 2 dogs and 2 cats I have now❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for the story about your kittens and special a about Gus Gus.

I cried from the beginning of the video to the end ,, I love cats very much. 😢😢😢

Fading kitten syndrome occurs around the first week of like and then from 3-4 weeks of life. It’s a general term used by vets but it’s usually from an underlying cause like viral or bacterial infections, parasites, neonatal isoerythrolysis which is blood incompatibility with the mom, congenital defects etc… was the mom tested with URI PCR and fecal PCR? Environmental factors can also lead to this with high or low temperatures, stress, etc.. I haven’t watched the entire video yet but that’s my experience as a foster for the last 16 years 😢 I am sorry for your loss

I cried so much omg 😭😭

So Sorry for your lost of Gus Gus 🫶🏻

This so sad ! Honestly I don’t trust vets ! They said this about my cat one time about having high fever ( so I treated him colloidal silver ) Praise be to God he was cured and he was completely fine ! Vets also said about my sisters cat to put her down because she had flea rash or something and my sister sister made her better ) can’t imagine if we followed the vets advice :( I believe if something isn’t deadly these some kind of cure out there ❤

Gus Gus was my favorite ❤😢

I just lost my cat sabrina 2 weeks ago and I'm still a mess Soo sorry for your loss of gus gus u named him after the mouse in cinderella that's adorable

Well, think of it like this. Yes, it really stinks that a cute little fuzzy butt had passed away. BUT, it was humanely done. If he was still out and about on the streets he would've been discarded somewhere where another animal would've gotten him or decayed. I know that sounds harsh but it's what happens out in the wild. He had a respectable death.

from owning pets , taking in strays to fostering, always do what you can to be prepared for their passing. it is gonna happen indefinitely unavoidable. Seems like Lady was attempting to quarantine Gus to nurse him separately from the litter till he got better maybe but also as i wonder if she was placing Gus exactly where you both were asking for possible intervention of you both in her momma cat instinct? That is sort of the vibes i was getting of it.

{{{}}} I'm sorry for your loss. Love, life & peaceful peace be with you & your husband....... {{{}}}

Why did Gus have to go sorally, he was a cute kitten. You will be missed Guscus😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

I understand everything your going through about 5 years ago I lost my pregnant dog shadow weird name right but as she was goi g through labor about half way through the first puppies birth she passed away at 11 05 pm and all of her puppies died as well and for about 2 weeks I was very miserable because we did everything together and then I got a dog named rusty but about 9 months after I got him I had to give him away because my family was moving to a rental out of state with me and no pets allowed in rentals so ya it's been very hard but I got through it and that is what makes me strong

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢Best in peace ❤❤❤❤
