Burn Kittens Recovery Fund

Last week the staff at the Prince Albert SPCA found themselves in a critical situation involving a litter of one week old kittens. A member of the public had spotted a group of individuals throwing each of the kittens 2-3 feet in the air. This alone can cause great bodily harm to these young fragile bodies. The public member was able to convince the group to give them one of the 5 kittens, which they then rushed it into our care. Luckily we had a mother who recently gave birth to a small litter of kittens, and she was more than happy to take on this kitten as her own. With one kitten saved, it was a race for our Animals Protection Officers to hunt down the remaining kittens and ensure their survival. Later in the day one more kitten was brought in, and our search continued for the last 3. Late into the evening two of the remaining three kittens were found and we realized they had been lit on fire. These two singed and cold kittens were brought into the shelter and the mother again accepted the remaining kittens. We slowly helped the mom warm up the last two kittens and were able to start syringe feeding them. After a bit of time and a lot of TLC, these kittens are now thriving with their new adoptive mom. The last kitten was found later by a member of the public and taken to another rescue.

Without the leads and help of the public we would have not been able to save these precious babies.

The picture is of one of the burnt kittens. He has wounds that are slowly healing, but he is happy and alive! He is not currently available for adoption, but we will keep you updated on this litter once they are available to find their new homes.

Any money raised will be going towards the medical bills for these kittens as we get their burns treated and get them health checked.
