Khi’s kittens

I posted the following a few days ago: http://animalcare.my/2010/02/lady-from-myanmar.html

Since the Myanmar lady, Khi, had no choice but to release her cats and kittens behind a restaurant, we will foster the six kittens and put them up for adoption. 

This evening, I collected four of them.  The other two are still at the clinic, one with a bit of loose stools and the other with some eye discharge.

Here are three of them:

Wait…there’s one more.
The very confident one.
The curious one, and also very confident.
One of the smaller ones.
The baby of the lot.
This baby looks a bit fragile and thin for now, and would need to fatten up a bit.
Ramzee has agreed to foster two of them, so we will be bringing two of them to him this evening.  We have purchased kitten food for them as well.  We hope Ramzee can help find homes for them. 
The clinic had put them all in pairs, so they are now very comfortable being in pairs.  I was planning to foster the two smaller ones, but since our friend, Daniel, has booked the white one, I will keep the white one and her partner until Daniel comes to take the white one this Thursday. 
The two smaller ones will go to Ramzee.  I don’t want to separate them since they are smaller in size and would need each other for warmth and comfort.  Even now, they are both sitting inside the litter box, huddled together. 
The other two (now still at the clinic) will also be taken over by us once they are more healthy.  Would anyone like to foster them?  One is black and white, and the other is Calico.
One day at a time…
There will always be work to be done for the animals. 
These kittens are all up for adoption, so if you’d like to give them a good home, please contact me.

    Releasing behind a restaurant is not ideal but I guess she was really out of options. Cats risk being splashed and scalded with hot, boiling water or oil on purpose by highly annoyed and irritated restaurant workers rushing about to prepare food and serve their customers.

    The presence of the cats can also irritate customers and they stop patronising the shop, causing much loss of business.

    Lastly, the cats are exposed to hungry and roaming stray dogs looking for food in the area and many, especially kittens and adolescents end up being savaged.

    So sad …..

    It is definitely not ideal, but she doesn't seem to have much of a choice. Being a foreigner, she is afraid the authorities would harass her again.
