Fussie seeks a good home

Background: 10-11-2009 - In the early hours of the morning, an abandoned kitten, hungry and cold, thought the warm engine compartment of a car parked in a HDB car park, was a safe place to seek refuge.
Fortunately his loud cries were heard.

SPCA was contacted and a rescue personnel arrived at the car park within an hour.
By then the engine compartment was silent. Has the kitten run off?

At 7pm, shrill kitty meowing was heard amidst the laughter of a group of kids aged about 8 to 10 years of age. One girl was carrying a kitten with a piece of cloth. They found this kitten on the tree just outside the car park. This must be the kitten hiding in the car's engine compartment in the morning!













He was vaccinated at Pet Clinic by Dr Robin Au at about 9pm.

10-11-2009 The early moring was cold. Abandoned, lost and hungry, this tabby kitten sought the wrong "refuge" of a warm car engine in a HDB car park. Fortunately he has a loud voice despite being just a tiny 3-month kitty and his presence was noted. He ran off by the time the SPCA rescue man came. In the evening, he w...as found by a group of kids on a nearby tree. Again his loud meowing was heard by a caregiver who was searching for his at about 7pm in the evening. Would the kids just "play" with him somewhere and then discard him again? The caregiver took the kitten from the kids, fed him some food and brought him to a vet for vaccination. He is now being fostered for a good home. He is totally comfortable in the presence of human beings, a sure sign that the he grew up in a human home but unceremoniously dumped!!

Rosy-J passed away peacefully in her sleep

8:18am, sms from SY

"Rosy passed away in her sleep early this morning.
Her last feed of 15ml of milk was at 3.15am.

When I got up at 7.30am, her body was already hardened.

She looked like she was in deep sleep."

Blogger's comments: "May Rosy-J stir more people to be aware of the plight of abandoned kittens. Please help to stop abandonment by encouraging owners to have their home cats sterilised and to inform them of the sufferings of abandoned cats and kittens such as Rosy-J and Nicha.

The "REAL" cause of Rosy-J's death is ABANDONMENT. May the owners who abandoned Rosy-J and Nicha get to read this and regret what they have done. May they resolve never to abandon any more cats and kittens they may still have in their home and to have them all neutered."

Rescuer's account of Rosy-J and Nicha

Just a summary about the 2 kittens..

Almost 3 weeks ago, we came across a kitten laying in front of a car at a car park.

As understood from the driver, there were 2 kittens sleeping in the rims of the car tires, when he unknowingly drove off..

One of the fall to the floor with the other was stuck in the rims upside down for about 1 1/2 hrs till few guys jacked off the wheels.

One of them (who was stuck in the rims) Nicha, is recovering well. She had a big part of her skin torn off, however the wound is healing very well now.

For her, we hope to put her up for adoption once she has recovered from her wound in maybe a weeks' time. She has also had her first dose of vaccination & been dewormed.

For Rosy, (who was lying on the floor) the vet concluded that she has a head trauma. She was in terrible pain & her pupils were of a different size that nite.

The vet had managed to extract part of the fluid to help reduce the swelling & that helped. In the first 2 weeks, she had seizures sometime up to 4 times a day. After a seizure, she goes blind or faints for a while or sometimes it is so bad she springs out of her box.

I consulted with three vets already & they are of the opinion that I should put her to sleep. But I understand that seizures are not painful, though definitely uncomfortable but do not deserved to be put down. I would rather take her back from hospital but the vets did not think she will survive long. After each seizures, she needed life support of oxygen & injections to stop the seizure which seemed impossible to manage at home without any equipment nor experience.

"She has no more so-called 'seizures'. Can drink up to 30ml of milk each feed, not very keen on diluted AD. She purrs when I carry her. First day, she was so traumatised with every of my movement. Now she loves to be carried. A big change in her. She sleeps so soundly :)"

Rosy -J

Rosy-J and her sister were rescued by Joan from under a vehicle's tyre in Outram Park.
A large piece of skin was ripped off from Rosy-J's sister and Joan is caring for her at home.

Rosy-J was hospitalised in a vet's clinic. Xray showed a crack in the skull.
Now she is unable to coordinate her limbs and the slightest noise will make her cry loudly.
The vet said that she needed oxygen after each "seizure" and concluded that "better off to "pts".

SY took over the care from yesterday.
Vet gave instruction for an anti-seizure medication to be squeezed into her rectum after each seizure.

Diluted AD was fed to her and also milk (meant for cats) was fed through feeding bottle.

Each time when she makes noise, she was carried and she would calm down right away.
She is also responding to Reiki.

Rosy-J might need acupuncture later.
