Sorry to hear this. It's amazing how these little creatures get ahold of your heart.
I took in a stray last year that I thought was a kitten for a few days. Turned out it was so old it had no teeth and wasn't healthy. Still had fight in her though and we made her comfortable for several weeks. One of my labs, Kona made her feel welcome.
My son called her Towlie after the South Park character. When she meowed it sounded like Towlie. Wanna get high???
Best of luck.
