Seven young kittens were saved from life on the streets on September 10th, 2018.
The babies were sent to Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC). They were discovered as stray animals in the 5000 block of S. Paulina Street.
The kittens were hiding under the front stairs covered with trash.
The neonates were in serious need of rescuing since their parents were unable to be found. They were just a month old, according to estimates.
They’d need round-the-clock care from experienced foster parents right away since they’re so young.
On September 15th, CARF, the Critical Animal Relief Foundation, rescued a “gaggle” of kittens from the brink of death.
They grew to be known as “The Seven Dwarves.”
All seven kittens had to be bottle-fed, encouraged, and cleaned after each feeding.
This is a great job for an individual to take on!
Two experienced caretakers got up to help and the kittens were separated in the caretaker home. One got three babies, while the other four.
That way, they can continue to grow up with their siblings.
Young kittens may be highly harmful if they are left on the streets for an undetermined period of time.
When the dwarfs were discovered, they were all hungry, dehydrated, and flea-infested.
They were warned that they may have unidentified medical problems. Viruses and illnesses can have an incubation period, therefore the kittens were kept separate from other cats.
Being at animal control might expose them to unknown illnesses, further jeopardizing their life.
Kitten rescue may be a painful experience.
On Sunday morning, one of the tiniest souls’ terrible journey came to an end.
CARF announced the sad news on Facebook, but assured everyone that the surviving six kittens were doing well.
The kittens were finally acting like healthy, happy cats after a week in foster care, with their new tales playing out.
Their purrsonalities were able to shine thanks to the protection of their temporary homes.
Foster parents used the CARF page to share gorgeous images of their children.
Donations for the siblings were donated by dedicated supporters of the charity.
The babies will eventually be available for adoption through CARF’s website.
