We were contacted yesterday by one of our volunteers about 5 x 10 day old kittens who needed help.
A member of the public found the kittens on her property and did the right thing and left them in the hopes mum came back.. But she never did..
Unfortunately, although this lovely lady did her best to care for them, they were not in good shape. Two of the kittens could not be warmed up.. (I knew these two kittens would likely not make it)
We only have two experienced neonatal carers, who are both overwhelmed with fosters, but Anna agreed to give them a chance.
They were transported by a friend of the finder from Sunbury to Geelong. Sadly, one of the kittens passed away in the car, and the other passed away shortly after arriving at Anna’s.
The three other kittens had been doing quite well with feeds, but today, one of the baby boys started having seizures.
He was taken to the emergency clinic this afternoon and had another seizure while there, then perked up and was bright.
He has just had ANOTHER seizure, so he is heading back to the emergency clinic..
We believe he MAY have a liver shunt, but at this age, there is not much that can be done
PLEASE GIVE US A HAND UP IF YOU CAN to help cover this little man's current vet costs (approx. $700 so far) and his further vet costs.
As heartbreaking as it is, we may need to send him to Rainbow Bridge to be with his siblings..
Rescue is very TOUGH & HEARTBREAKING, always, but kitten season brings it to a whole new level.
The stress we endure, the tears we cry, the sleepless nights worrying about the babies in our care..
TO EVERY PERSON WHO NEVER DID THE RIGHT THING AND DESEXED YOUR CAT – YOU! ARE THE REASON WE CRY.
THE REASON OUR LIVES ARE FULL OF STRESS.
THE REASON WE CAN’T SLEEP AT NIGHT.
THE REASON WE HAVE TO BEG FOR FUNDS.
We are left picking up the pieces, trying to save these precious little lives, watching some of them die, and desperately trying to find the money to pay for their care.
