Thers nothing sadder tahn a Little Kitten or Cat in a cage, begging for a chance.
We are praying that someone sees this little Face, and takes her home.

I called the shelter about the white deaf kitten and the news is very bad. She is very, very skinny, was covered in fleas, probably has worms (which hasn't been treated), and has started coughing. They have no isolation area for cats at the shelter. I asked if they would take her to the vet, which I would pay for, and the vet keep her while she is treated. I was told, much to my utter shock, that the two vets they have do not board. I asked what happened when cats were too sick to go home and needed extended treatment, and she said they were euthanized. The shelter does not have foster homes for cats. The shelter can't give her the antibiotics she needs but they will take her to the vet for a visit & treatment if I paid for it (fine).

Is there anyone in Illinois who can help me with this kitten? The shelter is in Olney, Richland County. This is now very, very urgent. I need a foster home where she can be in isolation while treated.

This is where the internet can make a fantastic difference. Please connect with anyone you think can help.

I AM WILLING TO HELP WITH THIS KITTEN. I EVEN SENT THE SHELTER AN EMAIL. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO. I AM IN HOMETOWN, ILLINOIS. THANKS.

That's wonderful, Tracey, thank you. If you look at my post on the Bethel thread, you will see that Bethel's shelter in Tennessee is also going to contact the Illinois shelter and offer help. Considering their circumstances, the more help they get, the better. If you go to the shelter's page on cats needing homes, they have some wonderful kittens that probably only have a few more days to live. There are two georgous grey ones that would be snapped up in the right shelter.

Please keep us updated on what happens to this kitten, I would love to take her but I have my hands fulls with strays.

I'll say a little pray for her.

Oh My God, I knew there was a reason why i was sooo wooried about the little white girl! Thanks so much Lizzie for calling about them! You are the best! We need more people like you in this world.

The adoption fee is very cheap for the shelter. If someone who fosters could get them out before they are killed and find them home that would be wonderful!
