Seven kittens are having eye surgery this morning. At least one eye will be removed by our attending vet in Moultrie. In actuality, there were 10 kittens and 4 adult cats DUMPED on the Humane Society property. Abandonment of an animal is against the law. These kittens have gotten a raw deal of neglect because eye issues can be addressed with proper meds.
A rescue coordinator for Paws was asked to help with the case when the 10 kittens went to the vet's office. She began reaching out to other rescues and Humane Societies in the south Georgia and North Florida area. Most of the answers were negative for help. All are full or have ongoing cases they are attending to with their funds. But Paws stepped in when the answer from one local Humane Society director replied "to bring the kittens to them and they would put them down". In my opinion, not an answer I want to hear from a big bucks animal shelter.
Here we are then to do a fund raiser for these neglected kittens for their surgeries. We don't have the total cost as of yet but a ball park figure is about $1400. They are undergoing surgery as I post this. Any amount you would like to donate goes on the surgery bill and after care. You can call the vet's office directly : Southside Veterinary Care at 229-985-7377. The kittens are listed under Paws Furever Home. Our PayPal is [email protected].
The kittens will have a permanent home in the rescue.
