We saved this siamese kitten out of a horrible situation about a week ago .
She came from a pig farm that are under investigation with alot of cats.

We already euthanized 2 other kittens that was blind and to sick to rescue.
The kittens are dying by numbers, and adult are sick.
Al cats and kittens are feral that make the situation even worse. It's very difficult to catch them because the cats are very skittish.
They don't even go near the cat traps

This specific kitten was found with terrible babesia (tick fever) and alot of other issues as well
She was hospitalized at Essenhout Animal Clinic

Thank you dokter Elsje for hospitalised and helping this poor kitten, nursing her back to health

I reported the adult cats to the SPCA since alot of illegal killing take place there (both adults and kittens)

But we are still waiting for a solution.
In the meantime we are trying to get the situation under control

If you want to donate towards this cause, it will help alot to cover the vet bills, medication and special intensive care food and supplements for this rescue cases

Are you one of those people…
..who looks at the shelter and wonders why they have so many kittens available for adoption ALL THE TIME? 🤯
..who thinks animal welfare organizations are not doing their job well enough? 🙄
..who cannot stand the thought of cats or kittens being euthanized at a shelter? 😡
..who sees strays/ferals in your neighborhood and just want to see them in a better place? 😿

All good questions and all come from a place of compassion.❣️

You cannot expect change from others that you are not willing to participate in yourself. 🤔

It is impossible for people to understand all the challenges that rescues and shelters face unless they have worked in it. It is easy to sit behind a computer ⌨️ and make assumptions about why something isn’t getting done. It is eye-opening 👀 to get in there and actually witness all the work that IS being done, day and night, by such a small number of people.

I guarantee if you volunteer a small amount of your time with a shelter or rescue, you will not only get the answer to these questions, but a greater understanding of the challenges.

Stop 🛑 seeing the problems and wondering “why”. Start participating to help fix them. ✅ Do it. Make time. For your love of the animals. ❤️

🛑 DO NOT GIFT AN ANIMAL THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!

We can't say it enough: DON'T GIVE PETS AS GIFTS unless the recipient knows in advance and is ready, willing and able to take care of that animal for it's entire natural life. We're talking about a 15-20 year commitment in the case of a cat. Animals are not novelties; they're living beings that depend on us for food, shelter, healthcare, interaction and love. They need to be taken to the vet regularly and in case of emergency. If the recipient can't provide all that, choose another gift this time around.

Instead of surprising someone with a pet, consider alternative ways to celebrate the holidays, like providing pet-related gifts, or if the recipient truly wants a pet, you can support them in the process of adopting from a shelter or rescue organization when they are ready for the commitment.

DM me if you'd like suggestions on how to find low cost clinics or TNR help! 💕😸

Mamma kat gesteriliseer en weer ge 'release' vandag.
Ons fokus is maar die wilde wyfie katte en hulle babas
Ons probeer katjies help waar ons kan. Maar ons kan nie katjies help sonder die gemeenskap se hulp nie. Ons probeer ons bes.
Ons benodig asb donasies vir veearts rekeninge en vir die mamma katte se sterilisasies.
Ons help ongelukkig nie eienaars wat se katte kleintjies gekry het nie. Eienaars moet asb hulle wyfie katte steriliseer.
Ons help slegs feral katte in die omgewing en hulle babas.
Saam moet ons deur die katjie seisoen kom en help waar ons kan.

Dis hoe dit die laaste week hier by ons gaan.
Net tussen gister en vandag 12 Baba katte ingekry
5 persent van alle gevalle betaal mense n inname fooi. Die res voel dis nie hulle katte nie, maar soek nogsteeds hulp.
Van hierdie katte kan nie eers gered word nie. Gister 2 ingekry wat reeds blind is van oog infeksie

ASB, as jy n kat eienaar is, STERILISEER JOU KAT.

En met wilde katte in jou omgewing, ASB maak n verskil in jou omgewing en maak n bydrae om hierdie katte te help vang en steriliseer

Ons dra die hele Kathu se las op ons skouers.
Help met n steri van n wilde kat.
As almal saam werk kan mens die probleem begin onder beheer kry.

Baie dankie aan die wat wel n verskil maak en die katjies help met n hart van omgee.

Ons fondse is heeltemal uitgeput.
ONS VAT ONGELUKKIG GLAD NIE KATJIES IN TOT VEDERE KENNIS GEWING NIE
