We had definitely closed our doors to any more cats, quite a few are struggling- Fluffy is losing weight and is anaemic and Pudding ended up on a drip 2 weeks ago, being very off colour and dehydrated. They have both picked up but it's only a matter of time.
However, on Thursday we took in some very new arrivals. Someone we know was working on a farm, jet washing a slurry tank, when he noticed 2 kittens in the run off, presumably to nest was near by and disturbed. He had no idea what to do as they were young, wet and covered in slurry- so he took them to us. They saw a vet and they were only about a week old, eyes still closed. The ginger ( boy!) now called Rufus has a badly broken foreleg and the tabby ( girl?) called Penny, had a head wound and a nasty one on her bottom making her incontinent. The vet has stitched up the wound and she appears to be much better, but over the last few days she has developed a tremor, which the vet thinks is neurological. It's now a case of wait and see how Rufus's leg heals and how the tremor affects Penny.
Rufus.
Penny.
