Any ones cat recently pregnant kittens found
CAYTON DECKING RESCUE. - This evening we were alerted to Cayton by two neighbours who had heard faint cries of kittens from under the decking, which couldn’t be reached by anyone, they managed to see one kitten and pulled him to safety. There was more crying, luckily the two neighbours set to, took fencing out, and dug under the decking. After about half an hour of looking with torches and carefully moving earth, 3 more kittens were brought to the surface, although these were very weak and they had soil in their mouths.
Still on site, we started opening their mouths and getting soil out and clearing their noses, we had heat pads ready and milk prepared waiting for them to be brought out from under the decking. They are around 8 days old, and we think they have not had Mum with them for over 24 hours because of the screaming.
They are now having fleas and ticks removed and are in our incubator, as they were extremely cold. We think that another hour and all the kittens would not have made it. Thank goodness that these two ladies were busy in the garden and heard their crying.
It is essential to our rescues that we have the help and support of the public, and we are so grateful that everyone looks out for animals in danger. We did pick up a 6 month old cat from about 30 metres away from here a day ago, who we think is pregnant. We are now thinking that maybe this could be Mum. She was found eating from a bin just round the corner on Main Street and had been hanging around for days. We will try to introduce them VERY carefully.
Please, if your cat has just had kittens and you have lost them, get in touch ASAP!
