Tate & Taylor: Ready for adoption

Tate & Taylor were surrendered to Red Lake Rosie's Rescue by a family because the children were mistreating them. (See earlier blog post.)

It turned out that Tate (the tabby) had a rubber band around his foot and would likely have died of infection or at least lost his leg if we didn't get him when we did.

We were fortunate that ACT V Rescue & Rehabilitation could take the pair for treatment and foster care. Now they are ready for adoption as a bonded pair :-)

If you want Tate, you get Taylor...
If you want Taylor, you get Tate.

No question they should stay together after all they have been through in their short lives!

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.
