Hope je prije nekoliko godina bila napuštena mačka u Vukovaru. Bila je mlada i moguće je da su joj to bile prve, možda druge bebe ikad. Nisu.

Hope For Kittens
A few years ago, in Vukovar, Hope was an abandoned alley cat. She wasn't neutered so she brought more unwanted kittens into this world, having to take care of them on the street. She was young and possibly a mother for the first time. Kittens, i.e. neonatal kittens, have the highest mortality rate of all cats. The street kills them very fast, or they have the misfortune of suffering violent deaths if the owners of their mothers didn't plan on keeping them – those deaths include drowning in rivers, in buckets of water, being left in bags to suffocate in the dumpsters, and the worst-case scenario, being left along the edges of forests and busy roads where no one even can see them and they suffer and slowly die. In Hope's case, her babies were attacked by a dog. She defended them with all the strength that was in her and ended up with severe eye injuries, as well as injuries to the neck, i.e. the vocal cords. Hope was still nursing at the time, she was malnourished, skinny and she fought for their survival. But they didn't make it. One by one, they died because, alongside all the difficulties they endured, I was also not prepared to take care of such small babies. But something new was born of that tragedy. My desire to educate myself on the subject of hand-rearing kittens, because I realized that such small babies are the most vulnerable of all the cats. Hope is a healthy, beautiful cat today. Since she never received any kindness from humans, that left her very timid and she only trusts her foster mom. If we decided to find her a home one day, it would have to be with a person who has a certain lifestyle that Hope would fit into. Hope The Cat's page was initially created for the purpose of fostering Hope, but as the years went by it became a baby cat boom site. That's how Hope The Cat became Hope For Kittens 📷 Hope and her struggle for her babies was my inspiration to try to be there for at least a part of these rejected babies, for their brave moms who suffered the fate of their babies being taken away from them, and who, like Hope, had no chance to prevent the such a fate. In the last two years, I managed to save a lot of neonatal kittens and I am still educating myself on how to do that task even better. In cooperation with Udruga 9 života (NGO 9 Lives), all of those babies were happily adopted into wonderful families. We always need donations for baby cats, and you can get info on how to help via inbox. Help us become a new hope for abandoned kittens
