The New Arrivals

Return to Animal Refuge Page

In the past few weeks 5 kittens and one cat have come in to the refuge.

Griselda, a 4 year old torti-tabby has had a traumatic and desperately sad 9 months. Her owner passed away and her 4 feline friends were taken to a new home but she was left under a house since August 06 to fend for herself. She survived because neighbours threw her some scraps of food. " When we brought her home to the shelter, she had the appearance of an old cat. Her hair was thin and very short but after examining her teeth which were in pristine condition, the vet decided that she was less than 5 years old. She purred the moment we took her out of the carry basket. At present she is unwilling to leave the security of her big holding cage as she has warmth and food there. Most days she curls up in her bed and purrs. It will take some time for her to recover from her psychological trauma and sadness, loss and lack of food. What she needs is a good loving home."

Bruiser and Soxy are a pair of 11 week old kittens who escaped death at the pound at 2 weeks of age. They are now very friendly, playful kittens who love being with people.

Jackie Chan is an 8 week old female tabby and white kitten who was found wandering near a 6 lane highway just before Easter. She was handed in a little frightened and needing veterinary treatment for stomach trouble. She is progressing well.

Two little tabby and white 5 week old kittens arrived with skin irritation to their feet and face caused by food drying on their face like concrete. Some of their face and legs had to be shaved to remove the caked on food. They were ravenous at first but now they are happy and certainly full of beans. These are definitely kittens with character!
