Kim Kardashian’s Kitten Mercy Dies: “My Heart is Completely Broken”

Truth rating: 10

(Kim Kardashian)

Kim Kardashian’s cat Mercy has died, the reality star announced on her blog on Friday.

The kitten, which Kardashian received as a gift from boyfriend Kanye West in September, was diagnosed with a fatal virus at the end of November.

It was later decided that, with the illness attacking the animal’s stomach and aggressive treatment unable to help, it would be most humane to have her euthanized.

The tragic news came as quite the shock to Kardashian, who had been forced to stop caring for the kitty herself in October, after discovering she was allergic to it.

Mercy was given to sister Khloe’s assistant Sydney Hitchcock, who had recently lost her own cat after 17 years.

It’s believed Hitchcock took excellent care of the white Persian, but the cat was no match against the virus.

Kardashian wrote on her blog, “It broke not only my heart that little Mercy died at only four months old, but Sydney’s too.”

“Mercy was a gentle and loving kitten and we are all going to miss her so much,” she added. ”Thanks to Sydney for making Mercy’s short life one filled with love.”

Kardashian’s full statement about Mercy is below.

Gossip Cop sends its condolences to both the Kardashians and Hitchcock.

KIM KARDASHIAN STATEMENT

It is with deep sadness that I have to tell you all that my kitten, Mercy, has passed away. My heart is completely broken.

When I first got Mercy, I had never lived with a cat before and so I had no idea that I was allergic. I thought that it might pass, but after a few weeks I decided to go visit two separate allergists, one of whom said my allergies wouldn’t get any better unless I started taking injections. I had fallen SO in love with Mercy that I wanted to try everything I could to keep her, but I didn’t think it was safe to resort to injections, and it wasn’t fair on Mercy, because I couldn’t play with her or give her as much attention as I wanted to. Mercy deserved a mom who could really give her the time and affection she deserved. I knew that Sydney, Khloe’s assistant, who had recently lost a cat she had loved and cared for for 17 years, would be the perfect mom for Mercy and Sydney was so excited to have Mercy as her own!

Sydney gave Mercy a loving home, but after a couple of weeks Mercy got really sick and Sydney had to rush her to the vet. They discovered she had a stomach problem that we weren’t aware of. Poor little Mercy died the very next day. It broke not only my heart that little Mercy died at only four months old, but Sydney’s too.

Mercy was a gentle and loving kitten and we are all going to miss her so much. Thanks to Sydney for making Mercy’s short life one filled with love. RIP Mercy Xo

    This is why you don’t buy overbred animals. They general come from pet farms and have low survival rates. Typical

  • jumumu

    Guess it lasted longer than that poor chihuahua she found. She didn’t have time for it either after she had it operated on at some hack mall vet shop. She gave it to a nurse at the vets when she was on her last legs asshe was toooo busy. She will be a great mom someday, ha ha.

  • KardashianGang

    R.I.P Mercy! I feel so bad for Kim :’(

  • alexstorm

    Adopt a homeless kitty, they are the most grateful but cats get all sorts of diseases, Asthma, Diabetes, Heart murmurs, Cancer, gastro problems and yep virus’s.

    I have no “feeling sad” for for KK. I feel sad for the kitty and Sydney

  • jenver

    Why do you feel sorry for that stupid bitch? She had the cat for a couple of weeks. And bullshit she was allergic. She found out the kitten was sick and didn’t want to take care of it anymore. People like her make me sick.

  • RachelRandom

    Are you dumb, she didn’t even have the kitten, Sydney did…dumb ass…

  • Emma1986

    Poor Mercy, I had a feeling this kitten wouldn’t be in Kim’s life for long she is not an animal person no matter how much she pretends she is…poor kitty. I don’t get people spending all this money on cats who’ve been bred. For my kitty, Blueberry, she was an abandoned kitty around my boyfriend’s shop so we took her in, never found the mother so I’m not sure what happened but my point is that there a lot of cats on the streets who need homes too. No need to spend hundreds on a pet.

  • DL

    you are definitely one stupid dumbass. fuck you and fuck that selfish worthless cunt kim. too bad she wasnt the one that died instead of the kitten

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jenny-Lopez/100000903201506 Jenny Lopez

    Did she kill the cat her self to get some attention? since shes MIA lately? She can’t let Kate have all the attention.

  • Chloe

    You should NEVER wish death on someone. When you do that it turns around on you. It is one thing to dislike someone for whatever reason you claim and entire different thing to wish death. You are the dumb ass.

  • MelissaB

    How many animals has Kim had that have disappeared or she has given away? I swear I have seen her with numerous dogs throughout her reality show. She should probably stop getting animals. Also….you do not carry kittens around like an accessory!

  • Chloe

    It does not matter if you do not like Kim. She is a human and has feelings like every one else. @KardashianGang can have her/his opinion no matter if you agree or not. Who are you to judge? Last I checked GOD still had his job…

  • Martina

    It seems that the kitten got FIP. It’s deadly virus. But I don’t believe Kim’s appology, neither her alergy or that fact that she cared. She seems to me as a very selfish woman desiring only money and fame.

  • DL

    like i give a shit. id be perfectly happy if i dropped dead right now. the world would be a better place without trash like kim in it, thats a fact.

    Tough break

  • Derek

    She probably caught the virus from Kim.

  • Claire

    I mean really. To use a poor innocent creature to get in the news….you are sick and twisted Kim

  • guest

    settle down dude! ….geez, get some perspective.!

  • Lisa G

    You are so right but in this case they spent thousands…Designer kitties??? They are already designed to perfection why mess with that?? I feel bad for Kim and Sydney. It hurts to lose a pet. I wonder if the designer breeding had anything to do with her health issue. It probably didn’t help the situation.

  • Ana73

    I wonder if she can skin it and use the fur for an accessory. I hate people who wear animal fur!!!!!

  • Zoycite7

    If the disease was FIP, which it sounds like, the kittens chances of survival would have been almost non-existent. Besides if Kim cared that much she would not have gotten the kitten in the first place. I know people with cat allergies who have taken them into their lives. Some of them are even involved with rescue fostering. The best thing she can do now, is pay for the vet bills, offer to help get the poor woman who actually had the kitten another kitty from a shelter or through petfinder.com and pay for all fees associated with the new kitty. Then, if she is really caring, she would donate some fo her money to a good cat rescue organization such as Kitty Devore Rescue, Cat’s Cradle or MeoowzResQ, two of which are close to the Los Angeles area.

  • Evan

    and this is news how? sorry for the kitten, always hate hearing of a animal dying, but this isnt news worthy, there are many animals out there that are put down. Main reason this hit the news is because of the piece of trash that owned it. She cant keep a man, what would make you tihnk she could keep a animal. she is trash, she doesnt deserve any animal…

    WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT THE KARDASHIANS? This isn’t news, it’s about a reality person. Sorry about the cat, but there are more important things in the world than the Kardasians. Who cares? NO MORE KARDASIAN CRAP!!!

    hmm. That is so interesting. I never thought about that. If you ‘overbreed’ something they have a low survival rate? that sounds really scary. *off to do research*

  • Linda Taylor

    I hate to hear of anyone losing a fur baby. At 63, I have lost my share of them and each time it feels like your heart is breaking..It’s like a part of your family passing away. There are so many things that they can get to make them to sick to get better. My daughter has a “Munchkin” kitten which was not cheap. Last week my granddaughter had to take her to the vet due to the kitten not being able to keep her food down. The first thing that he asked was if they also had outside cats too. My daughter, being a nurse, hates to see anything go hungry, so shee feeds the strays in the neighborhood, which are many and semi-wild. The vet told her that when she goes outside to feed them, and they rub against her, she could be bringing all sorts of things that could make her kitten sick. She now has to make the choice of either feeding the wild cats or keeping her inside kitten well. She can’t do both. There are many feline problems that she can keep from her kitten just by getting her the shots that all inside or cats that go in and out. Some folks think that if the cat stays in doors all the time that they don’t need shots’s , but that’s not true. When I had taken my kitten to the vet for her shots, there was a man and his wife leaving with their dog, under a blanket, which the vet just had to put their beloved dog down. It had heart worms, and couldn’t afford the almost $1000. treatment to save it. It was a shame too, as the test here is only $15.00, and the meds. for it are about anywhere from $35.00 to $65.00 for a 6 month treatment, based on the pets’weight. Please don’t let your pet get sick enough to be put to sleep because you don’t know what YOU need to do to keep from the heart break of losing your FUR BABY!!!

  • nesto

  • A.

    She actually wants people to feel bad for HER for a cat she gave away months ago. Such a friggin’ attention WHORE.

  • jenver

    I was willing to feel sorry for her until I read the whole article, and no, she doesn’t have feelings like a normal person and the post that she made (along with countless other selfish things she’s done) proves it. She had the kitten for what? a matter of days??? She gave it away because she didn’t think that allergy injections, which millions of people with allergies have been taking for years and years without complications, was dangerous??? She is a classic narcissist. Google it.

    Her “pussy” died from extreme activity and abuse.

  • James

    This should be the top story of the year

  • rob

    are you serious? this is not news. GO AWAY KARDASHIAN CLAN.

  • R. McBride

    Somebody should have told her you have to get animals innoculated for a host of viruses that are prevalent out there. I feel sorry for these little purse kitties and purse puppies these celebrities get and cart around. They are treated like they are nothing more than accessories – a bracelet or a pair of shoes. They deserve far better.

  • http://www.facebook.com/vchaffin Veronica Chaffin

    She is broken hearted over losing a cat she got in Sept that she took a pic with for posting, (probably never saw again) and gave away in Oct and now the poor thing had to be euthanized bc it was ill. Wow – I am sure her heart is breaking. The kitty didnt last as long as her fake hubby!! If I was Mason and Penelope, I’d be worried kids bc as soon as your PR value drops…..foster care!!! Why is this even a story?? Really?? Which is worse the Kardashians or what passes for news and journalism, even entertainment news should be better than this garbage!!!

  • Megan

    why is this news…? like seriously. I mean, I love animals as much as the next person but I couldn’t give a rats ass if a celebrities cat died. Least of all Kim Kardashian’s cat…..

  • Caz

    Found out she was allergic to cats in October…. Ahh… hindsight. Now she announces she’s pregnant in December…. Hmmm… someone found out that you shouldn’t be round cats when you’re pregnant.. hence, cat must die :D Oh… lets pick a virus….

  • Sab

    I’m sure it was Fip. 98 % of all cats
    have the corona virus in it which can mutate to Feline infectious
    peritonitis when the kitten have too much stress. kim carried the
    cat like a handbag in front of the cameras everywhere she was. it seems
    kim forgot that she has a living animal in her hand. I hope she will
    never get an animal again…

  • http://www.facebook.com/jude.mignacca Jude Mignacca

    I feel badly for this poor little kitten who suffered in pain because of A) being owned by someone not smart enough to care for it, and B) obviously due to it’s ‘designer’ look, was bred in a mill-type situation. THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD GO TO A SHELTER AND ADOPT!! What do you expect from a woman who is shallow enough to wear fur??? Shallow and vapid…

  • Jim Attwater

    What a name for a kitten, that was shown no Mercy!!! This so called star (lol) should NEVER be allowed to have an animal. i do not believe for one minute that Mercy died of some disease she already had. I think the kitten was subjected to far too much in her short little life. She carted her around, exposed her to all those people, and I’m sure stressed the kitten out to no end. The kitten then goes from one home to another and NEVER had a chance!!! I am appalled at this woman’s compassion for animals! Shame on you! Sadly, Mercy is in a better place, finally, at peace! RIP Mercy!

  • Vanessa

    She probably didn’t want the injection because she was already trying to get pregnant. All that comes out of her mouth is b.s.

  • lisalles

    F.I.P. is deadly, contagious cancer like virus. The assistant who took the kitten, her 17 year old cat died recently. That cat probably had F.I.P. The virus can live in the house for 6 months and Kim’s kitty probably caught it from the environment. Feline Infectious Peritinitus.
