Early yesterday I was called out to some very ill feral kittens who had been abandoned by their mothers 3 days before. I was the 6th rescue on the list and 20 miles away the first 5 rescues unable to help. Evidently it was the same last year and the lady despite asking for help ended up burying 15 feral kittens, she was even told to leave them again this year. So for 3 days she ignored the screaming until finally she couldnt bear the noise any more, I heard those screams down the phone and was so concerned I rang my husband told him to leave work and go straight to the house which was fortunately a couple of miles from him( I had a vet appt). The kittens were raced to our vet in an awful state, all were given antibiotics and its been a long fight since, to be honest yesterday we feared we would lose Diablo and Marguerita, the vet thinks Diablo may lose his eyesthere is a lot of swelling behind them, we have bathed the 3 tiny ones in a bid to remove the putrid dried in gunk from their rear ends ; Marguerita still smells . The 3 tiny ones are all being syringe fed, the 4 bigger ones are now lapping, all are making a vast recovery although Diablo is still not out of the woods.
If Diablo hadnt screamed these 7 babies would have been left for dead, makes me wonder how many times this happens.
Modified to add , the tiny ones are Diablo, Marguerita and Pedro
The bigger ones are Lollipuss, Mad Mooch. Monkey and Huggi
