A Good Samaritan in Huntley found this sweet kitten in the final half hour of life. This is the best picture and we could show.
They had reached out to a local Huntley Vet practice by phone and stated that they found a stray, dying kitten and had no money for its care but needed help.
They were turned away but given our number. Thankfully we were by the phone and told them to it to the absolute best vet we know, Pet Vet Animal Clinic and Mobile Practice, Ltd.
The Pet Vet and staff never fail to rise to the occasion, sadly the kitten, needed assistance transitioning peacefully and painlessly.
We are frustrated that Vet they initially called, didn’t make an effort to help. It would not have been much trouble to take the kitten in and hold it for animal control, may spare a quick peek to see what if anything they could do to stabilize the kitten or end its suffering. They didn’t care. The Samaritan was not asking for that clinic to spend $$$ on the kitten. They had no idea how to help the kitten.
We understand that the practice relies on clients paying and maybe they feel that they do enough charity. But have they lost sight of why they became a vet?
I just don’t get it.
