The Coventry Animal Centre of the RSPCA was bustling on a Saturday afternoon. The shelter was full, and the staff members were overworked, but they persisted in the hope that things would turn around. An abandoned cat carrier was then discovered in the middle of the shelter’s driveway at approximately 4 o’clock.
The Coventry Animal Centre’s deputy manager, Dave Budd, claimed in a news statement that “despite our reception being open at this time, a guy seemed to conceal until a staff member went away from the area and then rushed away after dumping the carrier.”
The staffers peered inside and found a mama cat and her kittens. They were confused, covered in fleas and in desperate need of some TLC. The shelter was full, but the staffers knew they couldn’t just leave the little family to fend for themselves. So, they figured it out.
“We cannot operate on a system where people suddenly dump animals on us,” Budd said. “Our cattery is full and so are our foster spaces. Thankfully, one of our experienced members of staff looked after the cats on Saturday night.”
They helped the little family get all settled in and started giving them the care they needed to help get them on a road to recovery.
Trinity, the mother cat, was really underweight when she first came at the shelter, but now that she’s eating well, she’s clearly starting to get friendly with everyone. She exudes such joy at having her kittens find safety.
She adores the kittens and seldom ever let them to wander far from her, according to Budd. Madison and Navey are doing well, and despite their social anxiety, they are gradually coming around.
The shelter managed to care for Trinity and her kittens despite being at capacity. They are now secure and receiving all the affection they have never experienced. Once they’re prepared, they may search for their everlasting homes, where they will finally understand what it means to live a happy life.
Budd added, “We’d want to thank everyone who has given to assist us care for this small family and who has provided foster places; we’re really thankful and we couldn’t perform the essential work we do without the fantastic support from the local community.
