This week the pregnant Ginger frightened feral mum has had her kittens in one of our feral pens in Wrexham cattery.
Unfortunately she kept rejecting the little black kitten and had punctured the kittens leg by removing it.
I was out of the area so came back in the hope of removing the kitten so I could feed them but by the time I had got back to Wrexham the little one had died. Stuff like this in the Rescue world sticks with you.
Then we were told that a beautiful black girl a kind concerned member of the public had picked up off the road and handed to us had been killed on the same road she tried removed her from after we had returned her, even though other people had raised concern about her being in the road several times after this 😿😞
Then we get told about the young kittens that could potentially be dying in Legacy when their mum was killed on the road.
And finally last night I went to feed the cats in our premises to find the beautiful Ginger boy from Pen y Bryn dead curled up in his sleep. 😭😭😭
It brought back the memories of me losing Holly and finding her dead and it all came back to me. 😞😭
Anyone that thinks rescuing is a walk in the park it is an emotional rollercoaster. You are trying your best to save life's, protect life's, lose sleep over knowing there are cats out there you can't help because lack of space, lack of funds and lack of adoption enquiries it wears you down. It then affects your private life because you are trying to be 20 people all in one.
I am lucky that someone stepped in to help with everything last night because finding that beautiful boy wrecked me. We try our best but you always feel you are fighting a losing battle.
Please be kind to little self funded rescues we are doing the job of bigger organisations but on a shoe string and limited helpers..
It has been an an emotional week in general. I still haven't been able to post historical rescue cases yet
A lot of followers would have seen that earlier this week that a feeding feral mother had been killed in the Legacy area of Wrexham.
We contacted the member of the public that had been supporting this poor girl and they assisted one of our volunteers at length for two days trying to find the orphaned kittens. 😞
It was a vast area to search and we heard nothing so we thought the worst 😿
Today I received a phone call that a member of the public had found two very small kittens by chance cutting the grass in the Legacy area of Wrexham. They were very small and one of them was very weak and dehydrated.
I was in Broughton at the time so I rushed back and told one of our volunteers to prepare a heat pad and formula. The family that had them were lovely and very helpful. I immediately took them to our fosters and I hand fed them, little Ginger was the brightest so I fed the little black one first then the vocal ginger kitten.
Once I knew they were stable myself and foster met each other at the location they were found and made an extensive search for more kittens. Mum had hidden them so well behind panels of wood in a shed. We removed everything carefully and there was no more kittens. We then searched everywhere playing a video of the two kitten's Calling and mum calling kitten video off You tube.
Unfortunately we didn't find any more or hear anything so we are 🙏 that there was only two.
It is a matter of yards from where the mother had been killed if these are her kittens they are miracles.
I have hand fed them several times today and Celandine Wood Animal Rescue animal rescue kindly offered to take over hand feeding them because I am overwhelmed with everything at the moment and we didn't have anywhere for them to go. I appreciate them stepping to help it has taken a huge amount of pressure off me.
Please donate directly to them to support the
Our Rescue work and support of cats that others over look, never stops.
We don't clock off at 4.30pm or have inflated salaries. We rescue, support and protect 365 days of the Year.
I haven't had an opportunity to update everyone about the last month's rescue cases. But I will try my best over next few days.
This is a new case but unfortunately a very on going one, more so now I am not based on Wrexham industrial estate and I can't keep an eye on the frightened feral colonies, support them and TNR them like we use too.
This little growing family is the result of a local food factory they are aware they have a colonie and after several offers to help neutre this colonie they still won't let us engage.
It has created little sub colonies now that have split away.
I wss contacted by a friend last week informing me that this little family was growing. I have been down a few times supporting them and weighing up the situation. I have been told a lovely Gentleman feeds them daily so we have left food to help him.
This is going to be an ongoing case and it is so hard not having a neutering support scheme in place, spaces and funds to be more Pro-active like we use to be in the past.
I couldn't sleep knowing these little ones were here so I had to bring them more food and leave supplies for this kind hearted Gentleman, it is 1.56am and though I feel half dead I feel better seeing them eating and washing themselves after.
