Our latest rescue cat (Chinchilla) *UPDATE*

Lastnight coming out of KFC in the main St of our city my Mum and i saw a cat wandering up the side of the road (Very busy on a Friday night).. so being the animal loving people that we are, we stopped and i hopped out of the car and went a grabbed the cat and took it back to the car (So matted we cannot tell what sex it is).

As soon as i picked up the poor thing i could tell that it is literally matted fur and bones :(. Her/ his rear end looks infected and is so matted and smelly. I have not seen an animal so infested with fleas beofre this cat.

We spent a good hour starting to clean the poor thing up, and she (I think) will be off to the vets first thing this morning to be clipped back and given an anti biotic shot, and treated for fleas.

'Nuff rambling.....

Aww...even as rumpled as she is, she is a beautiful girl!

I hope she does well at the vet's - will be great to see her as she heals up/

Can you keep her while she does, and update pics?

Catty1

She IS beautiful (or at least, she will be). I can't even imagine how uncomfortable she is with that cast of mats on her body. :( She is very lucky you happened by. Keep us updated.

Oh poor thing! I do see a beautiful cat under all that mess.

Poor kitty. She'll probably need a lion cut, but then the fur should grow in beautifully.

Poor, poor kitty! But at least she managed to be found by you, little does she know her new life is about to begin!

Oh thank you for helping her/him. She seems beautiful.

How has she been behaving? Scared? Friendly? Hungry?

Have her checked for a microchip... I have the feeling she has people looking for her. She is to lovely NOT to have some looking for her. Even as she looks now, she is BEAUTIFUL, when she is cleaned up, she is going to be breathtaking.. Than you for stopping to rescue this lovely baby off the streets.

The Pet Angels have put a Gold Star beside your name for rescuing that Poor Cat.
And we think that you will be rewarded by the love of taht Lucky Cat, and will have a Gorgeous Cat to treasure for years to come.
God Bless You.

You did a wonderful thing and will be greatly rewarded!!!! St. Francis smiles on you!!! Good luck at the vet!!! Please send us photos when the cat is better. What will you call her???

Thankyou everyone for all the well wishes, much appreciated.

Sorry about the delayed update everyone.. Twas a rough weekend :(.

Willow as she is currently being called looks as though she wont make it.. she has stopped eating, not going to the toilet etc. The vets were not able to get us in Saturday morning so she will be going later today. We also found out that she only has 1 tooth :eek:.. so cannot eat dry food/ kibble.

I realy think the kindest thing will be to put her to sleep unfortunatly.. unless the vets says otherwise.

*Sigh* I hope things start improving soon, starting to loose heart :(.

Can you get water into her - with a syringe? Fluids will help until you can get her into the Vet.

Awwww thanks for giving her at least one or two days in luxury! She feels you care!!
I hope you can save her, she is a beauty!!

Please don't kill her! She needs a second chance. I hope you will give her that chance. She's beautiful.

Get something in her! Force feed if you have to. I can't believe she managed to survive on the streets only to die once she has been rescued. That is to hard to grasp.. Feed her baby food meat from a jar. TRY to get something in her.
