I am new, and sad to say not here under great circumstances.
I work as a weigh scale operator at a landfill site, today our equipment operator brought down two kittens whom he found in a load that had just been dumped from one of our transfer stations... These poor souls had traveleed about 100 km in a roll off bin along with several tons of garbage, then the whole load was dumped at our landfill, how they survived that is beyond me, as the operator was packing in the load he thought he saw a small stuffed animal but felt a pull to get out and look, sure enough it was one of the kittens, he searched though as much of the load as he could and found one more. The sad fact is there may have been more
The vet says one boy, one girl, The boy we have named Oscar, the girl Hope.
I also have a pregnant cat from work, she is soo tiny and the vet figures just a baby herself, she is doing well and getting ready to birth soon, she will promptly be spayed and her baby having babies days will be over.. her story made me mad as she was also dumped, but at least she had a chance and was old enough to somewhat fend for herself.
I am too furious to go into too much detail....
We had one customer suggest that a feral cat may have had her kittens in a bin, and that may be possible if the bins were left for a while, these bins are dunped every 2 days and these kittens based on what the vet said are about a week or more old. They are fat and strong and seem healthy.
Heres my SOS... They are drinking milk replacer and seem to be doing well, they are strong and chubby right now, though they do have some fleas but are too young to do much about that yet. However, I have only been able to get them to pee ( Rescued them about 4 pm, vet saw them at 5:30 ) They will not, so far, have a bowel movement even following the vets advise on how to stimulate them... can anyone help me with ideas?
I am so frustrated and sickened with the human race right now, and worried, I will deal with homes later, as I cannot possibly keep them all. Right now I want to focus on doing what I can for them now.
