Another Horribly Sick Pair of Kittens....

I just returned from the place where the six, sick kittens came from. I have two kittens around six weeks old, with eyes that are close to rupturing from the severe infection. :mad: I took the mom cat too, and she's going to the shelter, so I can't take the babies out without risking losing her in the house. They are flea infested beyond belief, along with the poor dog these cretins own. The dog is elderly and has no fur on his back from the constant chewing on fleas, poor old thing. I also have two young females in laundry bags in the car, that are going to the shelter as well. The kittens are then going into foster care, and I can only hope the eyes aren't ulcerated under all the swelling. I'm taking the digital camera along to take pics of this sorry looking bunch. :( :( :( These people are at least going to surrender the majority of the cats to me (but not a shelter...they will kill them). Little do they know the adults are going to the shelter, and no they won't be killed. Heaven forbid the cats get any much needed medical treatment! :rolleyes: :mad: :(

OH MY God!! I want to ask how this could happen in todays world but sad to say, I know.... It is such a sorry thing that unwanted babies can be born into such a cruel world and left neglected when they all deserve so much better. Thank God she is letting you get them out of there and maybe some of them can have a decent life.. Poor babies... Thank you so much for caring for Gods little helpless creatures!

You have had 6 sick kittens for over a week and just got the last 3 sick kittens!? what about the dog? Can you get him/her some advantage at low cost? what exactly happened today?

:mad: :mad: :( Thank you for all you are doing. Sure hope these tiny ones can make it! :(

This just breaks my heart. Can't anything be done about this person. My God, she should be prevented from having ANY animal since she obviously cannot take care of them properly. It just sickens me.:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I hope and pray that these little ones are going to be okay and something is done for that poor dog.
Jan, you are a true angel for helping all these precious babies.
I take my hat off to you and thank you.

Jan,

I would LOVE nothing better than to take a nice 2x4 and whack those hillbillies silly. I hope they don't have children. I am so sick and tired of these kinds of people. Absolutely no regard for life (human or otherwise).

Isn't there some way you and Leslie can file charges against these a$$holes for neglect and abuse??? I'd look into it if I were you.

I pray these babies and their mama make it. They, along with you and Louise ;) will be in my thoughts and prayers.

(((((((((lots and LOTS of hugs))))))))))))))))

Are you going to rescue the dog too?:confused:

Can't you take pictures and press animal abuse charges against her? I know Donna's already asked that... but I had to too. Bles you for saving them!

No Leslie, Two sick flea infested kittens (one died). Idiots have the sick babies in the yard nursing off mom cat (who I also got) and with all the rain the last few days, no wonder they're so sick. Pictures coming soon! I took several pictures of their eyes, which look like raw meat. Advantage put in a small amount on both.The fleas were dropping by the dozens...so I'm sure the lethargy has a lot to do with flea anemia. I'll bring some for that poor dog who is a pitiful sight. All three female adults settled into shelter....I'm pooped! :rolleyes:

My plan is to get the cats they're willing to relinquish, put Advantage on that poor antique dog, wait a few weeks and then call MSPCA etc. The problem is (and I can thank RUTH for this) is that this woman knows where I live! GRRR!!! So if she suspects I did the calling on her, God only knows what will happen around here! I jsut have to bite my tongue and be Miss Nicey Nice to them and get these poor animals away while they're still alive. :mad: :(

Stories like this just break my heart. I, personally, believe that in some cases, abused, ill animals deserve a chance to live, for sure, but also have the option to be put down. I cannot think that it would be possible to save them all, at the expense of infecting others and putting the animal through more discomfort etc. There needs to be a call made early in the animals life. I guess the person(s) making the calls should take many things in to consideration.

My rabbit Cinnamon came from a confisication of cats in Mass. The rescuers went to the basement, just by chance and found the rabbit. The took over 25 cats from a family at the same time. As it turned out, Cinnamon was in good shape. She was unspayed (3 years) and needed to be groomed, but other than that, she was lucky to have survived a dirt basement with no lights.

I wonder how mentally ill some of these people are and wonder if they could be fined? Many do not have money to pay a fine or get a lawyer.

I think some animals are not meant to spend another day of life on this earth, to be treated poorly and that they are better off being put to sleep, where they can finally find peace. Bless their little hearts.

I hope these cats finally find a place to live out their lives - a place that is safe and kind. Is there a no-kill shelter you could involve in this mess?

You are so kind to take on such a situation. Please let us know if we can help in any way.

Sas and her brats

What a horrible story! I pray that all these poor animals will soon have the love and care that they deserve.
Thank you Jan for al lthe great work that you do! I think you should be on "Animal Cops"! You would make a great one!

If I were an Animal Cop...I think I'd be inclined to use my billy club on a lot of so called humans! :D I want a stun gun too while I'm at it....then I can do a quick TNR on them so they won't reproduce any offspring! :rolleyes: ;) I mean just what sort of message/ lessons are they teaching their children? :mad:

People are far more concerned, with themselves,and have no appreciation,for other species!Poor Kittens,we pray that you can help them!

I would definately try to get charges filed on these idiots! They have no right having any animals at all. Poor dog, too. I would take it away from them, as well. Of course, all they'd get is a slap on the wrist. Until we can somehow get the laws changed, this is what will happen. It's sickening.
