2 STILL DOING WELL. PRAY FOR LITTLE MITTENS. 🐈⬛️ 🐈 😻 🐈⬛️ 😺 🐱 😸 🐈 😻 🐈⬛️ 😺 🐱 😸
It's gonna be another late night, as I do the hardest job in the world. Mittens is half the size of his siblings and probably, beginning sudden failing syndrome. 😔
*THE HIGHS ARE ABUNDANT & ❤️ FEEL AMAZING. But, the lows can really break your heart. And it's been a very heartbreaking week. Starting with the litter of 6 newborns, some of you PM'd me about on Nextdoor. Valarie was awesome and went to recover them and brought them in the middle of the night. Sadly, they were full of worms, that turned out to be young maggot activity. I fed them anyway and bundled them up on a heating pad. But, I woke up to the most horrific sight of my 6yr rescue career. Some babies coveted & still moving. I called my Broward Animal Services contact and they came out immediately. I TRIED. SOMETIMES, ALL YOU CAN DO IS TRY...AND PRAY FOR THE BEST!
*Most rescues wont take kittens under 4-5 weeks. They just don't have 24 hr employees, or many volunteers to bottle feed neonates. A volunteer learns to feed, burp and stimulate baby, to keep it's sensitive digestive system going... They may lose one, or often, up to half, it's very heartbreaking and a painful experience. Many, don't want to do it again. You can be an emotional wreck, by the time they wean and enter the safe zone.
I think that's why I'v chosen to only do abandoned babies. Its where I see the most need. I've seen and been in a war zone.
*SO NOW THIS IS MY 🐈 WAR. A WAR AGAINST ALL THE HEARTLESS PEOPLE, WHO JUST THROW THEIR PET OUT, ALONE TO FIGHT ITS OWN WAR FOR SURVIVAL. They come to us starving, get hit with brooms, rocks thrown at them, sprayed w the hose, ONLY TO BE TOLD, NO ONE CARES. YOU DONT HAVE TO BE A "CAT PERSON" to feed it, give it a fresh drink of water AND CALL RESCUES UNTIL SOMETHING PANS OUT. 📞 ME 24/7 FOR LISTS.
*Many of us private rescuers will come out and TRAP FOR FREE. Even a feral cat is better off going to the Humane Society or if very sick or injured, going to Animal Control.
*ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK FOR HELP. ONCE CONTAINED, EVEN ANIMAL CONTROL WILL COME TO YOU & PICK IT UP. Then return your crate/ carrier.
*I'LL HELP YOU TRACK & TRAP YOUR LOST CAT FOR FREE. EVEN SHARE MY SUPPLIES IF YOU'RE PET IS IN NEED. Xoxo
*I'm a Disabled Airborn Veteran w many painful issues and require several hours of bedrest between my small windows of activities... with Drs orders to not lift over 10 lbs. So, bottle feeding, I can do from bed. (So, once i set the crate up, its not so bad.) In fact, I set the newborn carrier on the foot of my bed, so their cries will wake me up.
*MANY MONTHS, MY DISABILITY ISN'T ENOUGH. THAT'S WHEN MANY OF YOU AWESOME NEIGHBORS, GROW WINGS & BLESS THESE THROW AWAYS, OUTCASTS, VICTIMS OF CIRCUM- STANCES, WITH FULL BELLIES. AND BLESS ME WITH SUPPLIES TO FIGHT THE WONDERFUL LITTERBOX AROMA IN MY HOUSE. LOL
*I MUST CONTINUE TO THANK ALL OF YOU, WHO DO WHAT YOU CAN. WITHOUT YOU, I COULDN'T DO WHAT I CAN. EVERY SINGLE ITEM MEANS THE WORLD TO ME!! EVEN, 1 SMALL BAG OF FOOD, 1 CAN OF KMR, 1 DAWN, 1 TUBE OF CLEANING WIPES, 1 BOX OF "SLIDE" LITTER, 1 BOX OF LITTER DEODORIZER, & LATELY A PACK OF BLUE PADS OR BOX OF LITTER BOX ELASTIC LINERS.
*EVEN IF, YOU CAN ONLY SEND A PM, WHEN YOU SEE "FREE" CAT FOOD/ SUPPLIES POSTED. SEND THEM A SHORT MESSAGE ABOUT ME & INCLUDE MY #. IF ITS CLOSE TO YOU, CLAIM IT RIGHT AWAY & LET ME KNOW & I'LL GET SOME- ONE TO GRAB IT, IF YOU CANT GET IT TO ME!!!
*ALL ADOPTIONS INCLUDE TNR, OR YOU CAN DONATE YOUR FUTURE FURBABYS TNR, THAT INCLUDES STERILIZATION, SHOTS, AND IN MOST CASES, I SUPPLY DONATED BOWL SETS, TOYS & BEDS TO GIVE YOU. ID, PROOF OF ADDRESS & PROOF OF SUPPLIES IS REQUIRED.
*OK. I NEEDED TO DECOMPRESS & GET WORD OUT ON SUPPLIES. RANT OVER.
*WITH LOTS OF LOVE & CAT HAIR,
Janice & the babies, The fosters waiting to be adopted and A COUPLE FERAL MAMA'S THAT CAN RID YOUR STABLE, BARN OR BUSINESS OF RATS. THEY JUST NEED A SAFE COVERED AREA OR BACKYARD WHERE THEY CAN BE FED PROPERLY.
