How, HOW is it still kitten season?? These beauties were brought in by someone who knew they needed more medical treatment than they could give. THANK YOU! They were in desperate need and we think that waiting any longer would only worsen their prognosis. However, they are definitely not out of the woods yet. The trio definitely remain in a dire state. They are infested with fleas and parasites; not to mention maggot infected wounds. As you can see they have been bathed to remove the fleas/maggots and are trying to dry and rest on their heating pad after getting flea/ear mite treatment, dewormed, fluids, force-fed, and antibiotics for the infected wounds. We are posting this as yet another reminder to utilize the TNR/SNAP voucher programs in your county for your feral/outdoor cats. They only cost a bit of time/effort and will save lives. Kittens like these suffer/die unnecessarily because there are simply not enough homes, shelters, rescues, farms, funds, you name it. The system is so full!! If you know you can’t afford a costly surgery (we get it! $ is tight!), there are SOOOOO many cats/kittens in need of good homes that are ALREADY neutered or soon to be!! So yeah, that adoption fee might sound “steep”, but it’s WAY less than all of the vet care that comes with that “free kitten”. Trust us. We are all so sad this kitten season. Save future lives…spay/neuter/TNR…please. We are so worried that if it’s this bad this year…what about next??
