We would like to introduce 5 kittens that were found in a box, outside the medical center that we take our kids for treatment. Currently, they are treating a stray cat named Nick, who has anemia and were passed on to us by people who found us online. We have taken over responsibility for Nick while he fights for his life right now.
While on our visit to Nick, we were shown a box full of kittens that someone left outside the offices of the vet clinic. The hint was obvious, as they knew we would not walk away from the box of kittens, unless we knew that someone would take them under their wing. Sadly, nobody did.
So of course we couldn't just abandon the kitties, they are far too young to fend for themselves. Now we have to hand feed them, using a bottle and powdered kitten formula, and stimulate the kittens to pee and poo, every 3 to 4 hours. This is hard work, as well as financially draining., but the reward is tremendous.
Since we are still hopeful that someone else will step up and claim these kittens, since we are already well over capacity, with more than 30 cats and kittens living permanently in our home. Having so many cats in one place, is never a positive thing. Sickness is much harder to control, so are fleas and worms, since they share everything and all spaces. We do segregate new cats when they first arrive, and release them slowly. But one of the biggest problems, is we are unable to find food that agrees with all the cats. What is good for one, is not always good for another. And it is near impossible to feed them on an individual basis. We are also beyond the limits of our financial capabilities, and one infection that spreads would push us off the cliff of financial destruction.
Basically, we are hoping to find homes, not only for these new beauties, but some of the resident cats we have already. This is difficult in the best of circumstances, in the Philippines, it is next to impossible. We need responsible people to open their homes and wallets to take in a cat or cats. Indoor is also a must, unless they have a completely enclosed outdoor space that the kitties can't escape from. There are far too many dangers in the Philippines to have outdoor cats. We have learned this the very hard way. If you know someone in the Cebu area who matches this criteria and would love a new companion, please refer them to us, sincerely, the kittykeepers.
Meet the new kids.
