Shelagh, our head cat carer, has relayed some stories about kittens that have been brought into the refuge in the past week.
On the 2nd July a female tabby kitten was found in Armadale car park by the trolley boys. These kind boys fed the kitten until a lady came, took her home and after a few days of tender loving care, she brought the kitten into the refuge. We have called the kitten Kylie. She is about ten weeks of age, very cute and affectionate. How she came to be at the car park, we will never know. It is incredible after what she has been through how trusting and friendly Kylie is, she is a real cutie.
On the 3rd July a kind lady brought a tabby and white male kitten to the refuge after she drove over the top of the kitten in her 4 wheel drive, luckily the wheels missed him. Gerry, as he is now known was very skinny and full of fleas. After being de-flea'd, wormed and given good meals he is hardly recognizable now. He is a cheeky little puss who just loves a cuddle. He has now been put in with Kylie and they are good mates already and can be seen playing together and when worn out they cuddle together and go to sleep.
Two kittens were brought in on the 9th July from Huntingdale. They had been on a property for 2 days without being fed. The first thing Shelagh did was feed them as they were ravenous. She had to be careful not to overfeed them after their lack of food. The food, followed by a bowl of milk disappeared in no time. They are about 14 weeks old, one is a black male and the other is a pretty female, semi longhair tabby. Now safe and secure, they will spend two weeks in quarantine before going to the re-homing sheds, from where hopefully soon they will go to their purr-fect home.
