Another reason to spay neuter any cats that cross your path.
Something we don’t share a lot on our page, because we really try to show the more happy side of fostering/rescue …. But the suffering we witness some of these babies endure, some days is tooooo much. This morning, was one of those times for me, it was a tough one. In the past 2 - 3 weeks alone, we have had several kittens come in with horrific injuries & illnesses….
A single kitten who’d been doused in kerosene, suffering skin burns as a result, as well as an upper respiratory infection.
A momma & her baby, who’d been attacked by another animal/bird of prey ???? …. Mommy saved one of her babies, but sadly the others were found deceased near her.
A litter of neonates covered in fly eggs & had extensive wounds from flies attacking their helpless bodies.
Two kittens with severe eye infections, whose eyes were so swollen they couldn’t see.
Several newborn kittens found cold & abandoned. Young mommies aren’t prepared for motherhood, or mommy could’ve been killed or simply out looking for food & the kittens kidnapped.
A litter of kittens that had panleukopenia … 3 passed away. One has now recovered after intense supportive care with our foster, Leigh.
Numerous kittens with upper respiratory infections, flea & tick infestations causing subsequent anemia…as well as a litter with a lice infestation.
Thankfully, due to the guidance of the amazing, Dr Jenn Mahan & her awesome vet tech, Hannah, who taught us very well over the last few years….we don’t say no to these intakes. However, caring for them takes a lot of time, dedication & especially money for vet appointments & medications. We think all kittens deserve a chance…
Together, we can all help end the suffering of these precious souls….
