"OMG! What was I thinking?"

A letter from the president of Forever Home Pet Rescue Inc.....

Late last night I was contacted by the president of another rescue who informed me that she was contacted by the local pound officer about a blind kitten who was facing euthanasia if a rescue couldn't take him into care.

Unfortunately, her rescue was unable to help. We too were unable to help and I was just about to say "Sorry, but we already have David and can't take on another blind cat"......But then I saw the photo.......How could I say "NO"?

When I woke up this morning and I remembered our conversation..... was it a dream? was it real?

I hoped it was just a dream as our resources are soooo stretched at the moment.
Baby Angus has drained us both emotionally and financially and we also have David who needs surgery next month.....not to mention all the other cats and kittens in our care...

What was I thinking??
Agreeing to take on another hard case.... Am I crazy?
What kind of idiot takes into care a third blind cat?!?!?!?

Then I remembered my mum.... she raised me to believe that everyone is equal, everyone matters, everyone deserves respect and love....that animals like people have feelings too and just because they're animals it doesn't mean they don't deserve respect, love and care.

It made me feel better about my decision to help this poor little baby.....

So I left the house this morning having no idea how we are going to manage this.... but knowing in my heart that the right thing to do is to help this baby kitten...... because every life matters..... ... See more

***UPDATE ON DAVID***

Last Friday, we took David to the same eye specialist as Baby Angus..... we were not expecting good news and unfortunately, we didn't receive any.

It appears that David does have eyes but they have ruptured long ago, probably due to either trauma or untreated infection. We will never know.....

Although at the moment David appears to be comfortable with his eye condition this is not likely to be a permanent or lasting feeling as his open eye sockets are an portal for infection, which could be fatal.

Therefore, after long discussions with the eye specialist we have decided to commence David on the same treatment course as Baby Angus..... David will start antibiotics in preparation for his optic surgery to remove his damaged eyes at the end of June.....

David will be operated on by the same fantastic Optic team who operated on Baby Angus.

In the meantime, we have started training David with confidence building exercises similar to those Baby Angus took part in but due to David's age and life experiences he is less confident and trusting as Angus was.....although he is just as sweet and loving.

If you would like to help us help David with his eye care please donate to:

***IT'S DEJA VU!!! WE DID IT AGAIN!!!!***

We were recently notified of a gorgeous boy named David who was surrender to the local council pound.....

When we saw a photo of David we could not believe our eyes!!

David looked exactly like Baby Angus and he is also blind.....of course we couldn't turn our backs on David, so we rescued him.

Yesterday when we arrived at the pound to pick up David we were told of his story.... David's owner had suddenly passed away and his children surrendered their dad's cats to the council pound to be placed on the euthanasia list.

That's also when we found out that David had a bestie by the name of Kevin.... No way we could leave Kevin behind to face an uncertain future. So without a second thought we popped David and Kevin in the car and they are now safe and loved in our care.

David is bilaterally blind and we don't know how he lost his sight but tomorrow he will be going to see the same eye specialist as Baby Angus.

Kevin is an absolute lover boy.... there is just no other way to describe him than super affectionate.

These handsome boys are 2 years old. They are microchipped, desexed, vaccinated, worm and flea treated.

If you would like to help us help David with his eye care please donate to:

***GORGEOUS BETTY***

Betty came into our care in September 2017 with a terrible eye infection.

At the time, Betty had a family but instead of taking her to the vet they surrendered her to the local council pound where she was placed on the "Euthanasia List"

Sadly due to the infection we were unable to save Betty's eye. It has taken Betty up to now to be well enough to search for her forever home.

At 11 years of age, Betty is a real, well mannered lady who would love a quiet home to enjoy her golden years.

Betty is a Domestic Long Haired beauty and would require a regular brush to maintain her good looks.

Betty is microchipped, vaccinated, desexed, worm and flea treated.

Can you please help Betty find her forever home by sharing this post and her photos?
