We are very sorry to announce the passing of Joe Brown. He passed away at 12:51am in his foster's arms, snuggled up in a blanket. He was just a kitten.
Joe Brown was sealed into a warehouse with his 5 siblings. We originally thought there were just 2 kittens, so the other 4 were a bonus. They were living off of garbage and rotten food. After their rescue, Joe was very active and friendly. However, he was failing to gain weight. It was discovered that he was putting food in his mouth, but not ingesting it. He was separated with his littlest sister, Faith, and began receiving syringe feeding. He continued a cycle of gaining energy, and then getting lethargic. Late last night, we had the notion to check on him one last time, and he was completely limp. We immediately started fading kitten protocol, and Joe passed away about 30 minutes later in our arms. He was loved.
Joe Brown was extremely playful and affectionate. He was the first of the group to be social with humans. Joe loved to be held and cuddled. His personality was perfect. Joe Brown was adored by his littermates, and Faith loved to groom him and snuggle during their one-on-one time. He is survived by his 5 siblings.
In Joe Brown's honor, please consider TNRing a cat you see outside. Please take the initiative to stop the endless cycle of breeding. ❤️🩹
Hope is the thing with feathers
that perches in the soul
and sings the tune without the words
and never stops at all.
