TinyKittens, a Fort Langley, British Columbia-based animal rights organization, has received a litter of kittens who need to be rescued. In the rain, the Good Samaritan heard them weeping and discovered them in a cardboard box by the rubbish can.
Kittens That Had Been Thrown Out In A Box
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), approximately 200,000 animals, including cats and dogs, enter the New York City animal shelter system each year. Of those, an estimated 6,000 cats are euthanized annually due to overcrowding and a lack of resources. It’s important to note that not all cats in the shelter system are abandoned, as some may be surrendered by their owners or picked up as strays.
The kittens were quickly rescued. They were just four weeks old and meowed and sought attention from the animal rights activists who had come.
TinyKittens founder Shelley Roche took them in and gave them a home in her living room. Snowdrop, Snapdragon, Azalea, Sage, and Dahlia are flower names given to the fluffy clumps in honor of the wonderfully recovered cat Stan-Lily.
The kittens were healthy and friendly, in good weight. Looks like they’ve had contact with humans before. “It is fortunate that they got to us in time, in safe, warm, and well-fed conditions,” says TinyKittens.
After a long ordeal, when the kittens were examined and fed, they fell into a slumber altogether, forming a small purring mound.
Woolen brothers and sisters were always close and supportive of one another.
Grandpa Mason, a local cat who was saved as a wild and transformed into the most loving grandpa for orphaned kittens, arrived to give the flower kittens what they needed: love and care.
How to save these cats ?
There are several ways to help save abandoned cats in New York City and other areas:
- Adopt: If you are looking for a pet, consider adopting a cat from a shelter or rescue organization. By adopting, you are providing a home for a cat in need and helping to reduce overcrowding in shelters.
- Foster: Many shelters and rescue organizations are always in need of foster homes for cats. Fostering involves temporarily caring for a cat until they can be adopted into a permanent home. This can help reduce overcrowding in shelters and provide cats with a safe and loving environment.
- Volunteer: Many shelters and rescue organizations rely on volunteers to help with tasks such as feeding, cleaning, socializing, and caring for cats. By volunteering your time, you can help improve the lives of cats in need and support the efforts of animal welfare organizations.
- Donate: Animal shelters and rescue organizations often rely on donations to fund their programs and provide care for animals. Consider donating money, food, or supplies to support their efforts.
- Spay/Neuter: One of the most effective ways to reduce the number of cats in shelters is to spay/neuter them. This helps prevent unwanted litters and reduces the number of cats that end up in shelters or on the streets.
By taking these actions, we can all work together to help save abandoned cats and improve the lives of animals in our communities.
The elderly cat immediately took up his new pupils. He squeezed himself into their bed to hug the youth without obstruction and began to lick them one by one, generously giving his love to everyone.
The kittens burst into loud purrs and kneaded their paws while Grandpa painstakingly brought them into a clean and well-groomed appearance.
Another TinyKIttens rescued kitten and Mason’s number one protégé, Aura, joined the cuddling party.
The kittens did not first excite her, but after witnessing Mason’s dedication to the children, she decided to follow in his footsteps.
