With heavy hearts, we mourn the sudden passing of Doldol, who departed on Wednesday, September 13, leaving us all reeling from the shock of her unexpected departure. Doldol’s journey was nothing short of miraculous. Born prematurely and abandoned, she defied the odds with the help of a compassionate local who provided her with crucial care in her early days.
Upon her arrival at the Kaluku Neonate Nursery on November 23, 2021, she captured hearts with her diminutive size and resilient spirit. Despite the challenges she faced as an orphan, Doldol thrived under the dedicated care of her Keepers, particularly Mishak, who led the charge in ensuring her well-being.
Though her time with us was brief, Doldol’s days were brimming with happiness and exploration. Known affectionately as “our little beetle” for her spirited demeanor, she roamed Kaluku with purpose, endearing herself to all who crossed her path. Doldol’s unexpected decline began on September 13, marking the start of a desperate battle to save her life. Despite tireless efforts and expert veterinary care, her condition continued to deteriorate rapidly, ultimately leading to her passing that evening.
In the wake of Doldol’s loss, we grapple with unanswered questions and profound sorrow. Yet, we find solace in the enduring legacy she leaves behind and the unwavering dedication of her Keepers, whose tireless efforts ensured her comfort and well-being until the very end.
As we collectively mourn the loss of our beloved Doldol, let us cherish the memories of her vibrant spirit and indomitable courage.
And let us extend our deepest gratitude to Mishak, Peter, Jonas, and all those who played a part in nurturing and caring for her. Though she may be gone, Doldol’s spirit will forever live in our hearts.
