A 2-year-old tabby was present in a ditch with 10 kittens. We don’t imagine all of them are her infants, however she permits them to nurse anyway.

A cat-loving Good Samaritan rescued all of them and commenced the method of de-fleaing and medicating a number of who had eye infections.

FYI, eye infections are extraordinarily widespread for homeless kittens and can result in blindness or dying if left untreated.
Four extra kittens and their mother have been discovered at a storage unit on Madison Avenue. Animal management picked them up when somebody reported they’d been wandering across the space and have been more likely to get injured. SOLAS gave them a shower and flea therapy then discovered a protected place for them to remain, far-off from visitors and building equipment. These kittens and their mama will likely be on the lookout for a fur-ever home in a couple of month as properly.
None of the 14 kittens or two mama kitties have names but. The focus has been on housing, feeding and medicating. The kittens are roughly 6 weeks outdated, so they are going to be able to spay or neuter in a couple of month. Until then, preserving them fed and wholesome is an enormous, costly job.
