Just got back from a rescue run way the heck up off Ridgecrest Road deep in the forest. A group of hikers found a young black kitten wandering the woods when they were on the back trails. Kimberly, who adopted a kitten from me a few years ago, suggested to the group that I be called. I just met them at the trail head. I know where this kitten was dumped and it is someplace where nothing lives but predators! She is about 3 months old and scared as could be- major skinny- but she is safe now. Did I mention she is pure black? Figures! Hisses me off that someone made a special trip deep into the woods to dump her there. No one lives back there- no one.
At least, she is safe and for now- nameless.
Here she is:
That is horrible that people are so cruel to do that. She sounds like a Black Beauty
Thankfully you were called in to help. Stories like this are terrible because you know somebody did it on purpose
hello cutie – welcome to a wonderful second chance
Did they check to see if that was the only kittie running around? Odds are whoever did that wouldn’t have gone to that much effort for just one ketteh.
So glad this little house panther is safe now.
She’s just a baby! Who could be so heartless. I guess someone was, to be just that low down and wicked.
Safe now little Dahlia, with ample food, a roof over your head, soft bed, and gentle hands to comfort you.
Whoever left the kitten there wanted to kill it but didn’t have the guts to do it themselves. If they had even the slightest compassion, they’d have turned it over to a shelter, even anonymously. What they did was unthinkingly cruel.
Here, the majority of the shelters won’t take a black kitten, nor a tortiseshell or a mackeral tabby. Those are the three most unadoptable cats according to them,
