Today on my way home I saw a lady speaking to a little baby kitty outside her house, about 9 weeks old, I said her kitty was beautiful only to be told it wasn't hers!
The story is that he and two adult cats belonged to a lady over the road, who had slung them out on the street to fend for themselves, that the neighbours had been putting food out for them, reasoning with the lady who just didn't care! They had rang the RSPCA, who told the neighbours they would trap them and take them, except today they rang back and said they would be leaving them as they do have an owner!!! so they wouldn't be collecting them, and they would have to fend for themselves,even though they were told the lady didn't want them,that staggered me beyond belief.
We looked for the elder cats which could not be found, so there was NO way I was leaving the baby, the elder cats have a chance to at least fend for themselves until I could do something, so I took the baby who I called Lennon, he was ginger with a hint of white lines on him (like a tabbies markings) gorgeous amber eyes, but ever so skinny and boney and riddled with fleas.
I picked him up and he snuggled up and purred away, I fell in love instantly! I got him home and then I faced my problems, two kitties who was not happy! I fed him and put some water down and then I had to think long and hard...I know about seperating new cats etc, but my doors in my house do not shut properly, they have those roller ball fixtures and my cats just push them open, and I have just (finally) got a new job from a friends brother, so am not here in the day anymore, so I knew in my heart I couldn't home this kitty, as much as my heart said yes, I didn't want to risk Lennon from attack from my two, he was nervous enough.
So I rang cats protection, he's now been picked up, and gone straight to the vets for a check over, the officer saw my tears and told me not to worry, he is so beautiful he will have no trouble at all getting rehomed, and that on the positive side I may have save his life, he now has warmth, shelter, food and his health can be monitored, and very soon he'll have a loving home, but I am heartbroken! I haven't stopped crying, I feel guilty that I've abandoned him and feel such a bad person that I didn't rehome him myself. If it wasn't for the fact mine may attack him, and I'm not here to keep an eye I'd have kept him...I am torn apart, I can't stop thinking of him and my heart is broken.
I am going to ring them tomorrow to check on him, and see if they caught the others as I told them theres two adults also, I hope you can all send vibes Lennons way and I pray he goes to a good home, but for now I feel like the worse person in the world!
