That was a line from the Brittney Spear days, but applies to me each time I rescue a cat. If you recall yesterday's post, I mentioned how when I pulled up to the Baldwin location to feed that morning, I spotted two 8-10 week old kittens sitting there, and an obviously nursing mother, of which I had never seen before. A tabby nursing mother. There is already a grey nursing mother there, which has been for weeks, and she runs up to me each morning. I poured the food and water for the five adult cats, now two kittens, and drove off in sorrow. When I arrived there this morning, I spotted the two kittens sitting in the groove of the tree there, huddled together. When I got out, the calico one went scampering for safety, but it took a little longer for the tabby. He eventually was out of reach for me, until I was on my way back to the car and I passed him trying to get food off the plate that an adult while male was eating from, and I snuck up and grabbed him. I will never allow a baby kittten to remain on the street if I have the power to recue them. I brought him home, and he felt very dirty, and scabby. I bathed him and it was like the Sea of Blood. I couldn't believe how many fleas I saw. I scrubbed him as best as I could in Dawn dish detergent, but some still remain. I will call my vet and arrange to pick up some flea stuff right after work. This poor little animal. I must find this kitten a place to go for now - foster or otherwise, quickly, or I will need to bring him to Lollipop. I would rather he go to Lollipop than to remain on the street. I cannot bear to think of babies trying to survive out there on the street. Its a crime to allow that.

Tuffy was at the Central Avenue location this morning. He seems to be applying pressure to his paw a bit more - but I am sure its still severely injured. A piece of glass, something is in there.
