I got a message from a gentleman on Fri telling me he found a crate along a road that had 6 kittens and a mama cat would I take them. As I already had 30 kittens and 22 adults I didn’t say no but gave him numbers for other rescues. Next morning I couldn’t help but wonder how he made out so I messaged him. He had no luck anywhere and even local Humane league had refused to take them. Shelter people told him animal control considers them now his responsibility and he should have just looked the other way. REALLY! How cold are you to say something like that? Well I made room for them. They were covered in fleas and severely underweight. They first got Confortis to kill the fleas and an anti fungal shampoo We give all new intake a bath since ringworm is such a problem Looks like they are from 2 different litters. One of the older guys has an eye that has burst from infection so that will have to be removed. We are giving him pain meds until vet can see him on Mon. We have wormed them all and gave meds for tapeworm. With all those fleas they will certainly have tapeworms. The finder was a Navy man and his wife who were moving this week yet took the time to help these poor souls. Good man that serves his country and an asset to his community. We are really strapped for funds so if you can donate please do. We have a Pay Pal account on our web page fourpawsrescue-shelter.org or a check to four paws sent to our address.
