Selena ended up at Hamilton Animal Services as a stray and was not claimed. We were happy to get this adorable girl out of the shelter when a foster home came available. We took Selena to the vet on her rescue day for a health check and to be spayed. She was a healthy young kitty by all accounts. Blood work was normal, heart and lungs were clear. Her spay surgery was routine, and without incident. But during recovery, Selena crashed. The vet and staff spent more than fifteen minutes trying everything they could to resuscitate her, but it was to no avail. Poor Selena was gone. It’s possible she had an undetected heart issue, or possibly a blood clot that caused her passing, but we will never know.
We want to thank the vets and staff for everything they did to try to help Selena.

We are heartbroken that this sweet cat didn’t get a chance at a new home, but thankful she was shown love and care during her short time with us.

Rest in peace, Selena. We’ll never forget your sweet face.
