Here are the kittens I was writing about in the previous posting.
They just lost their mother about 2-3 hours ago. She was accidentally run over by the man who was looking after them and he feels really bad about it. It was an accident and totally unintentional. These things do happen.
But let’s do the needful.
So the man brought them over to Cathy’s house, and Terry brought the milk and milk bottle. I went over with the hot water bottle, and the three of us fed the kittens for tonight.
There are two orange and one black and grey. As always, let’s give them BIG names so that they will survive – THE THREE MUSKETEERS.
We think this is the alpha, so he will be Aramis. That’s Terry feeding the big boss of the litter.
This orange one will be Porthos for now (determine gender later, and name will change accordingly). I managed to feed Porthos 2 1/2 syringes of milk.
Here’s Cathy feeding Athos, the other orange one.
I told the man (he didn’t want his name or photo to be posted here) to take our photos, and he decided to make us faceless as well!
We stimulated their urination after that, and all of them urinated. No poo, though. They are now all huddled together for warmth, and we put in a hot water bottle for extra warmth.
All three look okay since they have only been without their mum for 2-3 hours. They all look healthy.
They would be – hey, these are the three musketeers, right?
But we REALLY need fosterers for them because among the three of us, I have two dogs and eight cats to look after, and some of them may be jealous. I need to give palliative care to Mac and Tiger. Terry is fostering two puppies and two kittens (Braveheart is not well). He also has Gold, Cirque and Catarinha. Cathy has Whisky (her dog), two cats, some rabbits and some tortoises.
So, we three are really quite “full”.
If you’d like to help, please volunteer. Best if you could take all three because they need each other for warmth.
The kittens need your help. They have just been orphaned – poor things.
Please help.
Thank you, and goodnight.
Good morning? It’s 2am now.
(You think only doctors are on call? No, animal rescuers are on call too, though not too often, I hope! But we do the same thing – we save lives.)
