🙏 IT TAKES A VILLAGE 🙏
Late Monday night while at work on a sleepover shift, we received a plea for help from a member of the public in ottoway needing urgent support with two found neo natal kittens.
We reached out to other rescues to see if anyone was able to offer immediate care but being late at night, our calls went unanswered until the next morning . ( thanks to AKR and BTC for your messages)
Unfortunately it was a life or death situation as one of the babies was significantly smaller and weaker than its sibling and the member of the public didnt have the skills or the equipment needed to get them through until rescue was possible.
Partner kindly dragged herself out of bed and made a care package including heat pack, ni***es, syringes and kitten formula while I talked the MOP through how to keep the kittens alive overnight. Lots of videos were shared on how to safely feed neos throughout the early hours…and not much sleep was had.
Absolute hats off to Anne Marie for sacrificing her sleep and for taking on a role most would be too scared to perform.
Best news? Anne Marie got the kittens through the night . That gave us time to juggle our kittens in care and free up our bottle feeder Alicia ( and family) .
The kittens were dropped to Alicia in the morning and are currently doing well.
This right here is what we mean when we say It takes a village.
Thankyou to everyone involved in getting these kittens to safety. They were at imminent risk of death .
Please meet the kids-
