Kitten has passed...

My little kitten, who I adopted when he was only a week old, died this morning. He was about 5 weeks old. He had been doing very well, we were weaning and he was becoming playful and active. Then, when I got home last night, I found him lying next to the litterbox, barely moving and very cold and clammy. I held him and warmed him and fed him some formula and he seemed to perk up, so I decided to take him to the vet on my way to work this morning. However, when I woke this morning, he was nearly gone and died in my arms. I miss him so much already - his big purr, the way he'd nestle in my hair and fall asleep on my shoulder... I think it may have been his lungs as he couldn't meow... I don't think I'll have the heart to foster another baby any time in the near future... How do they make it into our hearts so easily???
