Kittens

In early May there were three kittens brought to the vet. Found in a garbage bin. The vet called us asking if we could have them. Well, unfortunately we do not have many people to help us with that and usually Tanja and Joop take them. But in addition to their own and shelter dogs, they had already 10 cats and 3 more really was a bit too much. Luckily we found a lovely couple from Theologos willing to take care of the kittens. Unfortunately, one of them died, but the others are doing well. They named them Greta and Heino. They are two real beauties, especially Heino with its white fur and bright blue eyes.
Walter and Marie, thank you very much!



And then the phone rang again last week: a Dutch hostess, living in Limenas, saw a mother cat with two children but the mother ignored one of them. The kitten was snotty and one eye was swollen and closed. It is simply the brutal nature that the mother then forsakes and focuses on the healthy child. But who can ignore such a small moaning thingy and slowly let it die? The hostess bought some kitten milk, and a bottle, and ointment for the eye. The little one still needs food every few hours and because of her work it was impossible for the hostess to do that herself. Tanja and Joop once again complied and took him from her. The hostess took the trouble to drive all the way to Kalivia to bring the kitten. Thanks Jolien!
Until now he is fine, though we fear that he must miss his eye. He is therefore baptized Pirate.


Should anyone want to adopt a kitten, then please contact us! Only this makes room for another foundling.
