:mad: As I have posted .... recently I have been going on a regular basis to our local "shelter" to love and help socialize the kitties in need. Well, one day while I was there, they brought in 3 tiny feral babies. I mean FERAL!!! I was determined to win these kitties over .... so without fear :rolleyes: I approached each of them. Well, the first two were terrified, and hissing like crazy .... but I was able to briefly get them out and hold them .... but not for long. The 3rd one was the wildest thing that I have ever seen.... and just so tiny to be this way!!!
Well, brave me :eek: reached in to snag him, and well, he SNAGGED me .. bit me twice on my fingers ... once on each hand. I mean to say this kitty was a SPITFIRE and fast as lightning!!! He drew blood on both hands. Not wanting to give up on him, I tried to throw a towel over him, and burrito wrap him. (knowing that if I didn't bring this guy around and FAST, he didn't stand a chance!!!)
Well, he proceeded to scream and yell BLOODY MURDER!!! Sooooo loudly, that an officer came in and said "is everything ok in here"!!! :eek: :eek: Well, seeing my hands bleeding and the uncontrollable nature of this kitten, she took him out of the room, to let him try and calm down. I knew right then, that this little guy was in trouble! :(
I continued to work with the others, and love on all the kitties in the room. Finally, a bit later, the officer returned with the kitten and put him back in with his littermates. The next day when I returned (and adopted Griffin) ... I noticed the wild boy was gone!!! I inquired about him, and the officer just said that he didn't make it, he was too wild, and gave me that look! They had put him down!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :( :( That's how it is here, and WHY I desperately do whatever I can to save as many as possible. This place gives NO SECOND CHANCES!!!! :(
