Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2006Kittens left for dead now have a home with the man who rescued them
http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3637472a11,00.html > http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3637472a11,00.html I'm glad this story had a happy ending, but that really makes me angry. What kind of horrible person did that?? I love the photo - the two kitties were incredibly cute! Joyce Look at those big blue eyes Praise for the miracle that made him look at that moment > > http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3637472a11,00.html > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Joyce > Look at those big blue eyes > Praise for the miracle that made him look at that moment Yeah, I noticed those incredible blue eyes but I have to wonder if they will stay that way or change to gold when they get older. I'm very happy those kittens were saved! And a POX on the people who tossed them out like trash! A POX on both their houses! (okay, sorry, been reading Shakespeare) Jill >>> http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3637472a11,00.html >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> >> Joyce What a lucky pair of beautiful black kitties. A pox on whoever it was that threw them away. I hope they give that wonderful man and his family years and years of joy. Lily & her mama  SignatureIrulan from the stars we come to the stars we return from now until the end of time > http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3637472a11,00.html Captain and Stanley send their most pungent litterbox offerings to whoever treated those poor little kittens like that. Then again, Captain and Stanley are brothers who were brought into the shelter as strays. I think some moron might have dumped THEM, too. If that's the case, said moron's loss is MY infinite gain. But it still angers me that anyone could treat pets that way, ever, anywhere. God bless the person who rescued them and the vets that restored them to health. Now may the kitties have nine long, healthy, and totally pampered lives to look forward to! Donna, Captain, and Stanley > http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3637472a11,00.html Awwwww. Don't they have the look of Hookikitten in their eyes? I hope they live long, healthy lives with their kind saviour. Dylan certainly knows this feeling...

MaryL Sorry, I thought most people on the group were tired of hearing how Kumani and Tyche continue to fail to realize that there is something strange about their "biological mother" being human and male. It was for similar reasons too...he found them on a slab of styrofoam behind a science lab, three weeks old. According to Kumani and Tyche, a "MomDad/motherfather" is what you have when your mother's a boy. --Fil > > Dylan certainly knows this feeling... > > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > MaryL > Sorry, I thought most people on the group were tired of hearing how > Kumani and Tyche continue to fail to realize that there is something [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > According to Kumani and Tyche, a "MomDad/motherfather" is what you have > when your mother's a boy.

I'm a regular and post frequently -- but I am also guilty of "selective reading." That is, I look at the headers and tend to pick certain messages to read based on subject matter but will often skip others to save time. That means I often fail to make the association between names when I really *should* know the relationship. Thanks for the information.

How much extra does it take to take it to a shelter? Isn't a life worth a half- hour to take it to somewhere it will be valued? Chak SignatureAny sufficiently advanced bureaucracy is indistinguishable from molasses. >> http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3637472a11,00.html > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >Chak I agree. Tiger and Tigger were approximately 4 months old when they were dumped at the end of my driveway. However, the only so-called shelter in this area is a kill-shelter and is in the next county. They will not accept any animal from another county.

It is shear cowardess on the part of so called humans who cannot face another person and admit they are relinquishing a pet. So they sneak out and dump them in the dark of night. I truly hope what goes around comes around. Jo > It isn't the time. It is shear cowardess on the part of so called > humans who cannot face another person and admit they are relinquishing > a pet. Cowardly is right. Perhaps in his next life he'll come back as a cat. Chak SignatureIn a rational society we would want our presidents to be teachers.

I once found a golden retriever wandering around my work parking lot and brought him to the shelter down the street. Because I wasn't relinquishing him, I didn't pay anything. Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca > I'm not condoning or excusing the behavior.

From what I've heard, some people think it's more merciful to 'give an animal a chance' rather than have it put down by a vet. They never stop to wonder just how how kind it is to let an animal fight all the others for scraps from garbage cans to survive, suffer from fight or car accident injuries that didn't kill it outright, or outwit all the older, larger and more experienced predators in the woods. > You're right, though.

Our shelter made another plea today to people to *not* simply dump their pets there (dumping and moving appears increasingly popular) since they have to spend so much on the abandoned pets that they are running short of money to fund their primary focus, abused and neglected animals. Their shelter is located next to a wooded area bisected by a quite busy highway and as long as I can remember, people who don't want to explain to the staff that this really affectionate animal who seems to know them is a stray simply go there after hours and leave the animal behind. There have been some horrific cases of such cats being attacked by other animals, and of course, the staff don't even know the cats or dogs are lurking in the area unless they happed to spot them. Meanwhile, the city pound (or whatever they're called today) will euthanize free of charge if you can't afford a vet, and might, if they have room, hold the animal a few days in case someone wants to adopt it. But that's cruel, gotta give an animal a chance and dump it in a neighbourhood across the city, near a farm or in a nice wild patch of woods!! You can't reason with some people, although the shelter spokeswoman tried yet again, talking of the importance of *thinking* before taking on the responsibility for an animal, and that such a responsibility can last for many, many years.

Even being PTS humanely would be better than being dumped to die alone and in pain. Anything's better than that. I hope the rescuer gets all of the good karma that he deserves. He's a good man.
