Babies Dumped

These kittens were dumped in the park the other day in a cage. Now remember here in AZ it's been anywhere between 108 - 119 degrees! Can you believe the left them caged in the heat? Here they are and they're needing a home! Any takers?

What an act of supreme cowardice!!!!!!!!!! And in this heat!!! I suppose that I need to have a softer heart and think that someone had incredible faith in humanity in being confident that some caring person would have rescued them, esp. in a park where there are likely to be moms & kids...Nah, if that was the case, they'd've left them at a TV or radio station, anonymously, where the kittens would get lots of publicity. Katie, you were a real guardian angel, to come along & rescue these kittens. And they are GORGEOUS!! I can't take any, unfortunately, because I've accepted to take 2 or 3 semi-ferals in, as soon as the kids down the way can catch them. I'm sending prayers & vibes for happy times ahead for you all!

You could contact the nearest Siamese rescue about the little meezer-esque kitty. They will normally take anyone who looks Siamese even if the cat is not purebred. Even if they don't have a foster home available, they can at least list him on their website for you.

He is a real darling. Definetly looks siames like. He is a lynx point, so cute.

They are probably siblings. I wouldn't let a siamese rescue take one and not the other. But maybe they will take both.

Thank you for saving these babies from cooking in the AZ heat. I would definitely take them if I were closer. Poor little kitties!

Cat siblings rarely stay together. I don't see a problem with giving one kitten to the rescue, if the rescue will take him.

Siamese Rescue probably won't take anyone who doesn't look Siamese. It makes sense, really, since people who go to Siamese Rescue are looking for meezers, not tabbies.

I agree that it's better for this kitty to be with his brothers but it depends on everyone's situation. If foster homes are stretched and adoptions are slow, it can make sense to reach out to breed rescue for purebreds and lookalikes even if it means breaking up a litter. But on the other hand, if foster space is available then it might make more sense to keep a cat who looks like a purebred in your shelter or rescue system because they do tend to get adopted pretty quickly. So it really depends on the individual situation.
