Cute kitten alert! Rescues Lily and Autumn visit the clinic today ❤️❤️

Who are these tiny special girls? These adorable and very tiny, bonded 4-week-old calico girls were brought in by kitten rescuer Caro, also part of the TSV team. They have significant damage to their eyes from cat flu despite being around the clock at home care. Being so young and tiny at only 350 grams each they have been unable to have their desperately needed surgery of enucleation with each girl needing an eye removed. This is life-threatening, and the discussion has been made with much deliberation and research by the TSV team to undergo a very careful neonatal surgery for each kitten to allow them the opportunity to live life as one-eyed kitties. These girls are delightfully smoochy, affectionate, and playful despite their painful eyes. How did the girls come to be rescued? These sweet girls were taken in by Caro through an Auckland rescue. At barely 10 days old, they had been found callously tied up in a cloth bag and thrown into a backyard. They had survived the summer sun and rainfall before someone heard their cries and called for help. Of their litter of five, three survived. Since then they have been cared for with an abundance of TLC and with such a battle to survive from the start, we would love to give them every chance at life and to be adopted into a loving home after they have fully recovered. If you can help, please share this story and send them love vibes. If you would like to donate we have set up a page on Give a Little to help The Cottage Kittery get them the help they need. https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/we-need-your-help-to-save-tiny-autumn-and-lily ✨️🐾🩷🧸🩺 thank you for reading! 🥹 #neonates #givealittle #kittenrescue #vet #aucklandvets #vetclinicsofinstagram #Auckland #kitten #vetclinicnz #newzealand #rescuekitten #rescuekittens
