Melissa kindly forwarded this on:

As soon as I get a way to scan and post her vet records (as we have several techs on the board that can translate them for the rest of us: I had Dr Pope explain them to me) I will post copies. here is the latest info Melissa and I now have,

Kym,

I just got this e-mail. Please feel free to post this on the thread if you want.

I feel so awful and to blame. I feel like maybe the
travel was too much and she just wouldn't eat b/c of
the new situation. The weight loss worried me
everytime I went to the vets, but he said he was still
a healthy weight and we didn't need to worry about her
weight. I took her to Centre Animal Hospital. She
was still such a very happy cat.

Also just to let you know, she was not diabetic in
April. She was on appetite stimulate b/c we changed
her food and she was not eating well. She did not a
have crash then. She didn't show a high blood sugar
level until June.

I wonder if she would have lived if I had just kept
her here. Poor Jasmine, God rest her soul She will
be in heaven with her brother Milo who sadly past last
year.

Thank you for your support. I am so sorry things
turned out this way. Did she eat at all after she
arrived in St. Louis? When you say she was crashing,
what exactly does that mean? I hope she did not
suffer.

Kym is not a bad foster mom, I should be responsible
for what happened.

Please send this along to Kym.

Thank you so much.
Tonya

I am so sorry. RIP sweet Jasmine.

I feel Tonya should pay back all those who contributed to Jasmine's flight.
Personally, I feel this "oh my email" sounds like a bunch of b.s.

Oh Kym, I am so sorry to hear about Jasmine. Tonya is the most irrresponsible pet owner I've met yet.

Kym,

You are a saint and Tonya should be greatful that she had you to take Jasmine.

Tonya,

Instead of making excuses for why you couldn't care for your own cat, you should be thanking Kym for going out of her way to help Jasmine when you refused to.

Melissa,

You have NOTHING to be guilty about. If anyone should hang their head in shame for failing their pet, it's Tonya. I just hope to God Tonya doesn't try to adopt yet another pet.

RIP sweet Jasmine. You were loved.

Oh my.... LES here. Kym and Melissa, you did all that you could do in the short amount of time that sweet Jasmine had in your care. I am so sorry it had to end as it did. May sweet Jasmine know that she touched the hearts of all of us here.... and that she was very loved to the very end. RIP sweet one, RIP.
