SUNDAY SURPRISE!!
thesnclinic.com
To some AWWWW will come to mind but to us thats not at all what has happened. This mom was dumped un-altered at someone's home. The wonderful homeowner reached out to us to intake and try to find homes or rescue placement for her and 3 other cats.
We woke up at 4am (our days start very early and end very late) and were met with the horrifying sight of newborn kittens umbilical still attached, not cleaned, freezing cold, gasping for air and a terrified new mother hiding in her litter box. We jumped into organized chaos grabbing towels, cleaning babies, clearing airways, hoping the gasping would stop and movement would start. Slowly very slowly we started hearing faint meows, stiffened legs started to bend and move fur started to dry and movement happened.
They arent out of the woods yet if mom does not nurse them they will not get the vital colostrum that they need to survive, if mom reject them she will attack them and hurt them, if we have to bottle feed them their chances of survival drop to 5-7% and not because of what we do or dont do but because kittens do not do well as bottle babies they have to have their mom in order to have antibodies, digestive enzymes, etc.
Please spay and neuter everyone!! If you FEED THEM FIX THEM not eventually not when they are older...RIGHT NOW. These babies didnt ask to be here but they are and they are fighting for every single heart beat!! Mom didnt ask to be terrified of what has happened to her but she is and she may never accept and care for them!! $30 and all of this could have been avoided!
