Abused kittens

Red Lake Rosie's Rescue got a call from a woman that she and her kids had two kittens since October. She explained that the kids were not kind to the kittens and she wanted to "get rid" of them as one of the kittens had bitten her child.
Dan went over there to pick them up. Then the woman called again to say that there was a rubber band around the leg of one of the kittens! She had NOT bothered to remove the rubber band and now the kittens foot is swollen with infection and hard.
 Polly rode with Dan and the kittens and she removed the rubber band. We started the kitten on antibiotics right away. It appears the rubber band had been on the leg for some time - so sad!  :( 

We were very grateful to ACT V that they offered to take the kittens for medical care and foster care.

UPDATE FROM ACT V:
They made it from Red Lake just in time. Taylor had a rubber band place around his leg for an unknown period of time. Karen took it off last week. By the time we got him today, all the skin on the foot fell off. It’s going to take some time, but I think the foot will be ok.

DENISE SAYS:
The kittens look understandably solemn now, but I know they will brighten up in foster care.

Ooooo, that makes me so mad. I think some supervision of the children would've been nice. This happens quite a bit on the reservation - people get pets for their children so that their children will be occupied with the animal and not bother their mother. This really brings out my bad temper. So glad they were rescued - thank you Polly, Dan and Karen!
