I got a call this afternoon.. from a lady out in the country.. saying a barn cat had disappeared.. leaving two 4 day old kittens. They hadn't had anything to eat since yesterday.
I told her to bring them in immediatly, and gave her directions to my house, and she offered to buy 5 or 6 cans of KMR, to help with the upbringing.
But she called about an hour later, saying she went out to get the poor things ( I am assuming she left them in the barn.. which is stupid.. but, whatever) and found them covered in flies.
She rushed them to her vet, and he found that they were infested with maggots, and were near death. So he offered to euthanize them for no charge.
Poor little babies.. weren't even able to see what the world looked like. Didn't even have a chance to live.
So rest in peace, sweet little angels.
