A family in a town nearby is losing their home. They have 2 kittens; Skye and Raven that they have been trying to place with anyone who wants them. The problem is, no one wants them. I heard about this family through another story shared to me by a fellow cat lover. One of the cats’ family member called a local shelter to find out if they could take the two kitties. According to what I heard this is what the person at the shelter replied:

“Sure, bring them RIGHT over- then we will be faced with having to decide which older cat we need to put to sleep to make room for these kittens!”

I’m astonished- I know the reality and yes, that is the reality most times at over-crowded shelters- but to tell a heart-sick owner this steps over the line.

I found out the family’s contact number and called them. I spoke with the mother and told her I would be happy to take her two kittens. They are on their way now. They have to be out of their house by tomorrow afternoon-

Sounds like a shelter worker needs to have her ears boxed soundly! If she is so on burn-out then quit your job! You aren’t getting paid for it anyway!

These babies are in bad shape- they have been treated with over-the-counter products and are suffering because of it. They are extremely underweight and they don’t have a lot of fur on their backsides and legs.

they also act like kittens who have been hit -ducking their heads away from me when I approach. I don’t think these sweeties came from a very good place.
