It's National Kitten Day! What better day than today to showcase a trio of kittens that were brought to our hospital in dire straits. These little furballs were found on someone's property, with no mother cat in sight, and sadly, one sibling had already been lost. They were starving, dehydrated, and covered in fleas. The orange boy among them was in particularly rough shape and on the brink of giving up. Thankfully, they were taken in by CRPAWS and fostered by one of our dedicated assistants.
Their care has been quite intensive, requiring bottle feeding every three hours—even throughout the night—along with dextrose, subcutaneous fluids, and assistance with urination and bowel movements. The orange kitten had a tough first week, and we feared we might lose him, but he eventually turned a corner and showed a remarkable will to live.
Now, they have transformed into a sweet and affectionate bunch, and we can’t wait to watch them continue to grow. The orange boy will be staying with his foster, who has formed a strong bond with him after going through this journey together.
To celebrate National Kitten Day, we’d love for you to share photos of your own cats and kittens! Whether they’re rescue stories full of resilience or just your everyday moments of joy, let’s come together and spread the love for our feline friends.
