In mid May, 61 cats we rescued from deplorable condition in a Kent residence (original article). The majority of the cats are currently being cared for by Rescue Right Inc., which is an animal rescue group based out of Northwind Kennels.
Penelope Smith-Berk of Rescue Right stated, "There are definitely some that are healthy and ready for adoption, but most are in need of extensive veterinary care. Their teeth and gums are in terrible condition and many need full mouth extractions. Two kittens are blind, six have serious eye infections, and two have a neurological disorder called cerebellar hyperplasia. Despite their horrific beginnings, most are sweet and affectionate."
They certainly deserve great homes after everything they've been though!
Rescue Right is desperately need of loving homes to adopt them in addition to donations toward their Veterinary care.
Here are ways to help from the original article:
How can you help?
1- Adopt! These poor babies didn't ask to be born into terrible conditions. They are sweet, gentle cats who will be great pets, especially if they have a companion feline.
2- Donate: we need cat food, both dry and canned, cat litter (not scoopable), antibacterial wipes, towels, small litter pans, and cat toys. Although none of the cats know how to play in a conventional sense, we are introducing them to the normal life of a cat, and that includes having some fun.
3- We are going to need funds! Please consider making a donation for their care. This is a huge, unexpected project for us. Go to our website, rescueright.org, and click on the "donate" for a link to our PayPal account.
