Horrible decision, but I think you did the right thing. Think of how the poor kitten must have felt - a serious injury AND getting used to living in a human world AND being separated from mum and the other kittens. Would have been so stressed out. It hurts I know, but with animals, I reckon quality of life is the deciding factor.

    Agreed. The vet was almost sure that they wouldn't have been able to survive even with the best care.

    Im definitely upset, but I did the best I could in this instance and in general. They haven't gone hungry for almost 18 months. I've had to accept there are limits to what I can do apart from making sure they're fed and have access to clean water.

    All the rescues are full and have been full this whole time.

    It still fucking sucks.
