In my last thread, I posted that I was going to pull some kittens and puppies from the Richland County Pound in Olney, Illinois. Well, we met the guy, Jim, in Bradley, Il this afternoon. We picked up four kittens and three puppies that would have been put down otherwise. We brought them home and gave them a flea/tick bath and settled them in to their kennels. They all need to gain some weight and see a vet first thing this coming week. The two Rottie mix pups have scabs all over their back and face from flea bites, but I am sure they will heal nicely. Their gums are pretty white so I am giving them Pedialyte and sugar every few hours to bring their sugar up (thank you Katie for the tip). All will be spayed/neutered A.S.A.P. I have homes awaiting three of the kittens and hopefully all of the pups, but we will see. I know this is cat general, but I am going to post all the animals here due to the fact is was a rescue based on the kittens. Hope nobody minds. So, here they are.
First the kittens:
This is an orange 4-5 month old male. He is very big for his age, he may be older. We will find out when he goes to the vet. We have named him Leroy.
Here is a 12 week old buff male. He has a bad case of ear mites. You can see the aftermath of me cleaning his ears. He did not like that very much. I call him Jr. due to the fact he looks just like Chooch, another rescue who is now living with my brother.
This lil' guy is a long haired orange boy. He is about 8 weeks old. I have been calling him "Puff-ball"...he is so fluffy!
This cutie is a medium haired boy that we think is a Flame Point Siamese mix. He is called Sockie due to his Siamese mixture.
Puppies are in next post.
