https://www.facebook.com/tinykittens/"It is with a broken heart that I report our sweet Nano has crossed the bridge. Dr. Sakals and the entire team at Canada West Veterinary Specialists performed heroically and put their whole hearts into loving him and trying to save him, and I am so very grateful.
I promise each of you who loved Nano that I will make sure his life has the impact it deserves. Nano's miracle is that he will leave a legacy that opens people's eyes to the importance of spaying and neutering, and proves how remarkable and worthy feral cats are of being saved.
Nano was loved like crazy, and knew nothing but comfort and snuggles during his last week, and that is a tiny miracle in itself. He didn't have to spend his last days starving to death or unable to breathe in a rainstorm, consumed by fleas.
Rest in peace, Nano Wolverine. Your fight is over, and I have no doubt you are stuffing your belly with a big bowl of tuna for the first time, as you are welcomed by Bobbles, Sibby Sibs, Jaggy Jags, Dove, Cindy Lou Mew, Toothless, Tadpole, Taps, Socks, Fender, Jack, and so many others.
You will live on in our hearts, and in our actions as we continue our work. You mattered, and I will make sure many, many cats and kittens will be saved because you lived."

(17,276 posts)It didn't look good for little Nano--he was so very small and weak with those huge saucer eyes. Glad the vet clinic gave him a chance at surgery, but it was a long shot, and everyone knew it. If he had survived it would truly have been a miracle.
Shelly's priority was that he not suffer. So when they finally knew what was wrong, she kept him propped up and gave him small feedings very often. When he went into respiratory distress she brought him in, and that's when they attempted the repair, which was his only hope. But he was just too little and weak to bear up under it.
He had a lot of love and care in that week he was with Shelly, and his end was not painful. He went under the anesthesia and just didn't wake up.

(15,224 posts)The Bridge is going to roar with the number of furry feet coming toward their rescuers when those rescuers enter.
Peace and comfort to all of us out there who are trying to help these kiddos. We are simply trying to put a little good back into the world!
