Kitten Season!!! They keep coming. Meet our newest three flamepoint Siamese mix kittens 🙂 This post was updated to include Shell’s story plus a rescued momma cat and her kittens.
Here is their rescue story from Volunteer Shell. As you can read, there is a lot we need to do to educate the public about the importance of spay and neuter and what it means to be a responsible pet owner:
“So a day or two ago I was on my Facebook as I am on a daily basis and I came across a post on one of the many Facebook groups that I belong on that are animal related and someone was giving away a litter of five kittens. Three of those kittens were primarily white flame point siamese mixes as pictured below and those of us in rescue know what happens to all white or mostly white kittens on occasion when they are given away for free.
Despite BBMHR being pretty darn full and overwhelmed already even though kitten season is just beginning, I knew I needed to act. We had just approved a new awesome Foster and she had room as we hadn’t given her anything yet so I contacted these people and tried to convince them that rescue was a good option for their kittens. I even offered to have Mom completely vetted and spayed and micro-chipped on the rescue dime and then return to them but they insisted that they found the kittens and that they didn’t have the mom.
They mentioned that they had a different mom cat with four kittens and wanted to know if I would take her and I said “Yes, I will take them all.” They tried to only give me the mom cat with the four kittens and keep the original five kittens to themselves because a lot of people had already replied on the post saying that they wanted the kittens who are only 6 weeks old, not 8 weeks old, and it is illegal here in California to give away kittens that are under 8 weeks old. In the end, I was able to get three of the five because the other two had already been given away. The three white ones pictured below are the three of the five that I was able to get. Unfortunately the little orange one and the little gray one were given away before I was able to pick these babies up or talk sense into this person so we all just need to cross our fingers and hope that they went to good hands.
The mother and four babies are as sweet as can be. But their condition really concerning. The mother is a long hair orange and white and she is extremely matted. Her kittens are only about one and a half to two weeks old at most and one of them is missing half of his tail because something chewed it off (owner thinks rats- what were these kitties anywhere rat infested!?!) so we are calling the vet in the morning to try to schedule an appointment to have him looked at. The tail is already scabbed over and does not appear to be infected but we need to know what we’re looking at and whether or not anything more needs to be done with it, etc. We will definitely update everybody as things continue to progress with these kittens and we continue to treat them with the love and the care and the responsibility.”
Needless to the more animals we care for, the more expensive it is for our rescue. If you have money you can donate, here is the link to our PayPal donation & mailing address for checks:
