Four Kids For Kritters

Whew this kitten is a HOT mess!
we got an urgent call to help, we are so full right now but couldn't say no. 😔

I am glad I didn't because as soon as I saw him I knew I needed to take him to the vet. Thankfully we have the best vet around and she worked him in, on a Saturday. He has a long way to go, but we think he can make it. He is so sweet and purrs non stop while being held and cries to be picked up again if he is put down. The amount of pain he must have suffered.

Vet thinks he was either thrown from a car or hit by a car. We have had a huge uptick in animals being abandoned in the country lately. Please don't do that, he would have died a very painful death.

Found at 383rd and K7 just outside Osawatomie KS. He will serve a 3 day stray hold.

Update: I hadn't even had a chance to post this and the vet came in. We have 2 broken legs she can tell by feeling. Heading to X-ray to be sure. He also has horrible diarrhea but no fever and no other indications if panleukopenia. He is getting a f***l test, CBC, other labs etc to be sure. He currently has a body score of 2 out of 9 (that's bad). She thinks one leg will need amputated eventually but not till he's healthy enough.

Our vet is amazing and she gives it to us like it is. She said for a shelter this is a large expense and it would not be bad to humanly euthanize. BUT and she said but he is such a fighter and the whole time has been puring and she said if we have the money it was worth it to try and save him.

So.... Here we go, another large expensive kitten. 🤣

Also, I named him Skunk... Cause he stinks and she said "He was a little fighting Skunk" and well he kinda looks like one too. 🤣

Rescue is HARD, and this year has been the worst.

We just got this little guy, he showed up at a house in the country yesterday. He is very sick and honestly has some injuries. Looks like something got ahold of him but he is also very sick. Thin, smells and has severe urine/feces burning in his legs.

I don't know his story, I just know that someone somewhere let him down. He is crying, A LOT and can't get comfortable. We rushed him straight to our vet and are waiting to be seen. I will update as I have more time.

I have no clue yet what his vet bill will be... I can tell you I think he's going to need an X-ray (refusing to put weight on a leg) and possibly f***l exam and panlukopenia testing and possibly blood work on top of the emergency vet visit cost.

I hate to keep asking, but donations are what allows us to do these types of things.

He absolutely would not have survived another day/night on his own. To say I am very worried is an understatement.

Pictures are not the best but it's what I can take right now, poor guy can't even get comfortable to lay down.

If you want to donate we would appreciate it. I will definitely post the vet receipt too. ❤️

I will be working hard next week thru labor day. I will actually be staying in the city to make transport easier. We have volunteers and the family of course to take care of the kitties. But if you want to help at the festival we still have lots of room for volunteers.

The countdown is on! In just 7 days, Historic Independence Square will come alive with four days of live entertainment, delicious festival food, unique vendors, carnival rides, and memories made with family and friends.

Whether you're coming for the concerts, the shopping, the food, the carnival, or simply the tradition, SantaCaliGon Days is almost here!

Tell us in the comments: What are you most excited about this year? 👇

Long Post but worth it!
Early this month my rescue was sent a spay/neuter grant by a sweet individual. The request was we only use the money to help the community with spay/neuter. She had heard we do that already.

A few days later I saw a post online of where an amazing human rescued a pregnant cat from a hoarding situation. A local to her rescue (NOT the same one in this post) had put out a plea for people to step up and take some cats because they didn't have room to take them all. They had promised to provide all vetting and assist with adoptions.... Then they ghosted her. So She posted on a Facebook group to make people aware and start generating interest in the kittens. It caught my attention and I commented that my rescue would love to pay for her spay NOW. I know Spay abortion can be a hot topic but it is absolutely the most humane thing.

Lucky's new mom who lives almost 2 hours away from me messaged me that she would love to go ahead and get her spayed She just didn't have the money. So her and I set out to find a clinic that would do a spay abortion. We are so incredibly thankful to Proud Animal Lovers Shelter for working in this momma on short notice!
Not only did they spay her, they vaccinated and microchipped her!

As it turned out just days later a tiny kitten showed up on her door and before Lucky was spayed she refused to let the kitten near her. Once she recovered and the hormone telling her to protect her babies had diminished she soon was mothering the little guy and now he is thriving (and will be neutered when old enough).

I am not sure what happened to make the other rescue not live up to it's word. But I am so thankful that we had gotten that grant with the purpose to help the community. Without that grant I wouldn't have been able to assist this sweet girl who is now in her forever home and doing amazing.

3 strangers coming together from hours apart to help 1 cat. This is truly what rescue is about!

A little less action in this one. The crash and my reaction was after a kitten had knocked the little red broom and dustpan off the top of the cage. It often startled me and them. 🤣

For my birthday I got some cheap smart glasses that record. The recording feature only records like 13min at a time and then it can only store like 30min on the glasses before needing to transfer to my phone. So I'll have to do it in smaller clips. But this is my first recording and cleaning of 1 cage. 🤣

It really doesn't show half the choas that goes on.

For instance after recording stopped a kitten jumped from the top of the cage and onto my head.... Another nearly tripped me.... 🤣

Video is sped up x2.

Momma Sriri is showing signs of trusting me. She likes to bat at me with her claws retracted.
