URGENT DONATIONS NEEDED! ‼️‼️‼️
DONATE: straycatnetwork.org/donate
Early this morning, the caretaker at a colony we have previously worked on extensively but had to move on from due to noncompliance from the commercial property owner contacted Jess to report he had found 4 kittens lying scattered in the roadway at the colony location. He reported one was dead. He left them there and went to work. Jess arrived as soon as she was able but by then only two were still there. She thought they were dead as they were stiff, cold, and not moving, one even still had the placenta attached, but when she picked them up she realized they were still breathing. She rushed them home and got them warm, and then the two of us went back to search for the other two with no luck. The two we did find are in an incubator and are now alert and responsive. They are less than 12 hours old. This is horrific and sadly will continue to happen all summer long at this colony since we have not been allowed to continue our work there. You all know that SCN is not the type of rescue to take kittens and not go back for the mom cat, but in this situation we have no choice. These kittens would have died within the hour without our intervention. They are still very much not out of the woods, but if they don’t make it at least they will not die in agony like they would have otherwise.
It has been a long time since we had bottle babies and we were not prepared for this. We need formula, blankets, syringes, etc. I have updated our Amazon wishlist. We are deeply grateful for any donations right now. I know I have said intake is closed, and it is, but these were extenuating circumstances.
We have a girl (gray) and a boy (white). Please comment your best name suggestions! Thank you everyone 💛
