And Meet Cassidy (and her babies)

[QueenScoopalot]

Cassidy was a throw away girl well over a year ago. She was wearing a filthy green flea collar and struggling to survive in a scrap metal yard, and tomato company area, very close to busy train tracks. It took multiple trips in order to assess how many kittens she had hiding in the scrap heap. I caught 2 of her 5 little babies, then decided it best to get mama next and use her to lure out the remaining 3 kittens. It took 3 more days to get all the babies! Poor sweet Cassidy was caked with garbage, and very anemic and emaciated, but had done well caring for her kittens against such horrible odds. A few weeks later when she was stronger, she went in for her spay etc. and got a clean bill of health! WHEWW! I took these pictures of the weary little mama the day I finally got the entire family. Her kittens are in another foster home being socialized (I think a few got adopted already) and Cassidy cleaned up and filled out beautifully. She's such a silly girl and very kittenish now that she's in a house. I need to take more pics of her before she goes to another rescuers home where she will eventually get a forever home.

She was sooo horrible smelling and sticky, and wanted to be kissed, but that took a while before she was clean enough to kiss. She was in too weak a state to endure a bath. But she's turned into such a doll and gets lots of kisses.

I have been going like a nut for so long, I only had time to snap a few pics of Miss Silly Cassidilly! And not enough of her kittens. :(

There have to be a lot stiffer penalties for anyone who would throw away a little treasure like Cassidy.
I have heard from The Pet Angels that Our Lord really frowns on animal cruelty.
And one fine day the punishment will fit the crime.

Oh, such a lucky girl she is now. How could anyone be horrible enough to throw away a little life like that?

She's going to be so happy when she has a furrever home!

She looks like a totally differnt kitty now. :eek: And she's totally nutty & silly...very much a kitten now that she's safe. :D

I'm so glad that Cassidy is doing well! What a sweet looking kitty.

I love that the kittens get to go to "finishing school". LOL! Sounds like you guys have such a good network and rescue program Jan!

I am glad to meet Cassidy and to know that she is finally getting the kisses she deserves - and will soon be in a real furrever home to be loved.

I am aware that some people who shall remain nameless are IDIOTS (a very educated word ) I am so glad to hear that you are not one and that Cassidy gets to benefit from your wisdom and kindess! she is a pretty girl and will melt hearts I am sure! I wish her babies the best homes also.
