Title: covcats - what a way to start life - RIP Abigail and Bethany
Post by: Angiew on March 10, 2008, 00:23:13 AM
Been busy.

 Phone call at 9pm from vets now.
"RSPCA inspector has just bought in two 5-6 day old kittens. They seeem healthy and just need to be fed. We're very busy and don't have the time - can you help"

9-30 Inspector brings them round to me .

A lady was walking her dog and heard some mewing. There was a plastic bag tied to a tree and these were inside it. :censored:

I have fed them but now taken them to Jill as she has handreared before and hopefully will have more of a chance with these to - though of course Jill being Jill, don't suppose I will ever get them back off her - still lets get the next month out of the way first!

I hope someone has trouble sleeping tonight after doing such a thing and I can't help feeling so sad for the mum cat.

Now the rush is over I must admit that this has quite upset me. and I don't upset too easily. poor mites.

Is it because they were 2 little black kittens? Did the mum only have 2 kittens?
Why abandon them like this? Is the mum still alive?

Oh poor little mites, its so cold out there .

The  :censored: might still have the mum cat and just wanted to get rid of the babies. People are so cruel some times. :(

There were 4 kittens found in a black rubbish bag last month by a member of public , they heard meowing from the bag left in the street, it was on 6 oclock news cos they took them to Mayhew home and they said RSPCA making inquaries in the area!

Chances are mum is still okay but she'll be out looking for her kittens bless her, and then the  :censored:  still won't get her spayed and will probably do the same again to the next lot  :censored:  :censored:  :censored:  I really do hate the human race at times, some of them are the scum of the earth and I really hope Karma catches up with them  >:(  >:(

These kittens are lucky as they've been found in time, what about all the others that aren't  :'(  :'(  :'(

Just an update to say the two are still OK, (touch wood). I saw hem yesterday. They are growing and making a lot of noise. There eyes are still closed.

I'm just wondering at what time the ears make a growth spurt as they are tiny at the moment and yet at 5 weeks old (god willing) they will be too big for them :evillaugh:#

They are getting a bit grubby though, what have peeps used for cleaning babies? Jills becoming neurotic and has so far only wiped them down with water and cotton wool but the little one is being slept on and getting covered in pee.

My two little ones have just reached three weeks and their ears are just opening up now, giving them that cute kitten look, rather than the little vole look. :Luv2:

I use the non scented baby wipes to clean them with, Pampers are the best - the things you become expert at when raising kittens  :rofl: :rofl:

Glad to hear these two are doing so well, pass  :hug: on to them and their fosterer.

Kittens weighed in at 6 ounces each on Friday. Still no opening of eyes.
There has been some runny poo but Jill has realised that she has been feding these two twice as much as they should be eating 'cos we thought they were older.
Rations have been reduced and the poo is normal (and theres me trying to scoff my supper of macaroni cheese while Jill was going into graphiic detail about the subject  :sick:)

As for the creature that dumped them, perhaps it does not have any mirrors.

Hope I'm doing this right. First time and completely computor illiterate.
Anyhow, here goes;
Thanks to everyone for the messages re my beautiful daughters, Abbegail and Bethany. It's taken this long to be able to reply. They were so special and were just becoming little kits with HUGH personalities. Having been sucessful before with Amy and Sally ( their big sisters, I bottle fed from 8 hours old, now 6 yrs!) I suppose I almost felt we were home and dry.
Words just can't express what I want to say, although most of you know.
Suffice to say that it feels as though someone has reached down my throat grabbed my heart and pulled it up out of me.
I'll always remember them, I couldn't have loved them more if I had given birth to them.
Bought a rodedendran bush today to plant so when I see it, they will still be here.

Hi Jill.  Sending you lots of love and my thoughts are with you alot lately as I endeavour to get my latest two charges out of danger.  You gave Abigail and Bethany all the love and warmth and comfort they knew in their short lives and for that you are truly a wonderful person.

It is unbelievable how such little balls of fluff can cause such huge holes in your heart but know that they are always with you and you will see their faces in the little ones still to come. :hug: :hug:

Any words I type seem useless really but maybe they will give you a little comfort.
