Sometimes I really hate people - Purrs please.

I have started fostering cats and kittens for the RSPCA. I REALLY
don't agree with a lot of what the RSPCA does, but I do know the
Animal Welfare Officer very well and I figure that if I can provide a
foster space in a city without an RSPCA shelter then it means that one
more cat has a chance at a forever home without the risk of being PTS.

I have just had a phonecall from the Animal Welfare Officer, asking me
to take in an emergency case - a mumcat and kitten who had been thrown
in the river in a box and found by a dog walker who had called them.
Both are currently at the vets, kitten is 5 weeks old and has the
start of pneumonia, mum looks like a hat-rack, because she's obviously
not been fed and she has what appears to be CIGARETTE burns over her
back.

They're coming to me on thursday after they've been fully assessed/had
blood tests etc done, had 48 hours monitoring and the kitten has had a
hefty dose of her medication.

Mum is a tortoise-shell called Gemma. I need purrs and prayers for a
wee bitty girl-kitten who's also a tortoise-shell (as yet un-named)
and not very well.

Gawd, hearing things like that make me sick at my stomach. Mega purrs
coming across the pond for both furbabies!

Hugs,

Purrs are on the way.

Many purrs for the both of them.

And good on you for giving them a chance. Even if you don't like
everything about the RSPCA at least you can give a few more animals a
chance at loving homes.

There are just no words for people who do this sort of thing. Well, there
may be but not in polite society. Prayers for all of them to be well.

Sending our best purrs and prayers. Amelia will be sending special
tortie-powered purrs for her fellow tortie girls.

Is there any such thing as a perfect organization? I don't blame you
for disagreeing with some of their policies, but even an imperfect
agency to protect animals from cruelty and abuse is better than no
animal protection at all. But I see we're in agreement on that point.
Especially when there are horrible people who throw cats in rivers.
Purrs for the poor mama kitty and her bitty, and good points to you
for taking them in, Helen. They badly need some loving kindness, right
now, which I'm sure they'll repay. I've got my girls on purr patrol
for the two tortie girls. In different circumstances, my two dear
girls could have suffered a similar fate.

May the person or persons who did this to them get it back a thousand-fold
(and then some).

Purrs on the way for the kitties to quickly be nurtured back to health under
your loving care.
