This is Henry...
While our team was doing a vaccine clinic in New Castle yesterday we were tagged and contacted to help this little kitten in Chesterfield. Following the clinic's conclusion, our two Ashleys headed over to the location. This sweet little guy was found in the backyard on a dilapidated sofa, clearly disabled and very easy prey. They tried to reach the home owner who is well known to our organization and no one answered the door. They were instructed to leave a note indicating we were taking the kitten to get it care and we rescued this little guy along with another emaciated adult cat in need of medical care. Once at the office, both cats were give care and Henry came home with me. It appears to me that he was born with these deformities (paralyzed legs and no tail), but we will know for sure when we take him to the vet tomorrow. In the meantime, we wanted to share the realities of what we see in the rescue world. While this is definitely not the norm we do see is a lot of animals suffering.
If cases like this do not stir your compassion and cause you to take action and help alleviate suffering of a defenseless animal then there is something seriously wrong with humanity and the world in which we live.
We welcome donations for this sweet boy, as we do not know what is going to lie ahead for him. As always, thank you so very much for your support.
