MANY MANY Prayers Needed For This Poor Tyke :-(

[catnapper]

Poor little fella! OMG! He's such a handsome guy (I'm seeing past the pitiful state he's in now) Keep doing what you're doing! He sounds like a fighter & my prayers are coming to him at lightning speed to help this tough guy!

[gini]

This just made me heartsick! Thank God you have him now and can give him the nourishment and care he needs.

Please keep us posted on his condition. Let's just hope he is a fighter and survivor. Sounds as though he is if he has made it this far.

People are such idiots!

Prayers are being said for you little one.

Oh poor cat.I'll bet he's been thru so much.
I hope he lives to see the better side of life.
If you need me to help,let me know.

Geesh, You can really see how anemic he is in the picture where you can see his nose pad, and paw pads. As white looking as the lil' guy's gums. Off to give him another nutrient packed snacky! And some antibiotics. No kisses yet...too stinky and dirty still. I'll give him 'air kisses'!

Come on little one, you made it through the first night and are starting to get such wonderful, loving care.
I hope and pray that you make it through another night. One day at a time sweetheart.

Oh Jan I am in tears just reading what this poor little guy is going through. I pray that the hole in his chin isn't anything too serious.

Oh Sweetie, please, you have to make it. You so deserve to know that there are loving, caring people out there for you.

Air kisses and hugs to you sweets.

Hang in there Jan and bless you and Leslie for helping this poor soul.

How old do you figure he is?

Yikes, poor kitty! Gee whiz, does not every establishemnt in town have your number if a stray kitten shows up? Grrrrrrr - what awful people those store employees were! Prayers on their way still.

Lorraine, He's about three months old by my guess. He's very thin and bony so he could be a wee bit older, but not much. Poor little guy was purring his little heart out when I was in there a minute ago! I think he's got a good head start now. I'll give him more fluids later...everything we gave him last night was sucked right into his depleted system. He hasn't peed or anything yet, and I'm hoping he isn't blocked up with leaves and garbage. He's resting comfortably, and loves his heating pad. Karen...don't you think the manager of the Stop & Shop would have a few brain cells? Poor little kitten was there for 24 hours anyway scared to death. I suspect he somehow got into the building via the garbage dumpster that's attached to the building, but there's enough openings for a kitten to find its way in. I'm not holding out much hope that his mom & littermates are alive. I'm working on finding a feeder local to the store, that can go daily and establish a routine so if there's more they can be trapped. It's not close enough to me to be able to take time to get there every day. Prayers are working so far...keep them coming!

Oh Jan, purring his little head off. Gosh here come the tears again.
Bless his little heart.

I am praying for this little guy like i've never prayed before.

He just has to make it, he just has to.

My stomach is just upside down with worry for the poor baby after reading that story. BLESS YOU and everyone else involved for helping him. He's in the best place he can possibly be right now. I can't even thank you enough for all that you do. My prayers are with you and the sweet kitty boy

[Grace]

What a sweet little boy. Sending prayers for a speedy recovery.

Now this stuff that was in his mouth - looks like the innards of a hard-shelled clam??

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

Prayers for the poor kitty... Get well soon, little one!

[carole]

Grace, It looked to be part leaves, and who knows what to gooey part was. It smelled revolting I know that much. Fermenting garbage smell. UGHHHH!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Poor kitty. I'm so glad that this kitty is in your hands now. Prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. Please hang in there kitty. Keep us updated when you can.

we went around and under all the dumpsters. and around and through the marsh behind the mini-mall. (in search of siblings, mom, clues as to how he got there etc). The best bet is that he crawled through the one dumpster that Stop And Shop (major grocery store chain out here) uses to dump their bad food. And I mean BAD! We saw bad meat and spilling over onto the ground, bad veggies etc, this stuff is sent through a shoot right from the store into the dumpster and a kitten could easily, on a quiet night find himself walking through the shoot and land himself smack inside the huge supermarket with no way out! That dumpster was packed full of stinky meats and god knows how many litters of kittens have been hauled away still inside... ugh.
So what was likely impacted under his tongue was a collection of leaves, sticks, and infection. I would like to know what that whitey colored thingy is! I am sure jan has tossed it by now but looks like meat gristle.
so to all you cat lovers out there, when you do your grocery shopping at night, take a swing through the back, see if there are cats in need of real food to prevent them from going into trash compactors! Put down anything you can to stave off their death another day... (waaaaaa!) I feel really bad about the destiny of his family...
