This is a ping to try to help save a couple young kittens who were either tortured or simply caught in a trap.
Oh, that’s great! If it is a private pilot flying general aviation, I have a suitable field 3 miles from the farm, and a couple of others that are much closer than the regional airports.
Sounds like an answer to a prayer... Let us know what you find out & when those little angels can come home to you. :)
Bless your heart for taking them to give them a loving home.
BTTT
All of my furry kids were strays or otherwise unwanted by whomever had them. My husband doesn't even bother to object any longer ... he just helps me love all of them. I had one dog that was registered and acquired on purpose, but she died at the age of 13 this past December.
Duh!
I didn’t think of that. I’ll also try PA and WV since they are all closer than most of MD (our own extra house is technically in PA while they’re in MD).
MD ping in case anyone in (Western, specifically) MD might help some cats.
If you know anyone with a PA or WV pinglist, that would be great.
Lots of really good, healthy cats are euthanized each year... Think long and hard whether you think an abused cat will make a good household companion for the next 10 to 20 years. It seems more cruel to let a loving cat or kitten be put instead of one that is damaged. Harsh, but I’ve seen some mean cats in my day that were “saved” and perhaps should not have been. Not saying the above case is such a case, but.. might be.

I don’t think so here. The buff is very sweet and wants much affection. The gray is nice too but he is shy.
We don’t honestly know what happened - cats are dumped at my aunt’s barn all the time. She assumed they were mutilated - but up there in the mountains, I thought maybe a bear trap could’ve gotten them (less likely, given most baby cats wouldn’t venture far from their “nest” with a savvy mommy).
I DID save a cat there once - weird neighbor kids abused animals all the time, and this 3-wk kitten (turns out) was stolen from the owner and abused until aunt and us “stole” her from the kid. However, from the 1st after taking her home she was “wicked”. Most evil animal I ever knew. Don’t know for sure if it was the continuous abuse at the young age or her genetics - and after a couple years of trying to be her family, we gave up.
These kittens don’t seem that way at all.
After seeing your home page, I’m coming WITH the cats!! :)
How the heck did that happen?
Come on ... I can always use a hand around here ;)
May these two handsome kittens get WONDERFUL FOREVER HOMES!:)=^..^=
Any FRpers in the area mentioned, if you can give a loving home to these two special needs kittens, do so please. THANKS!:)=^..^=
Bless you as your heart is in the right place
BUT
There is a reason that they are called K-9 Carts, as dogs take to the carts VERY well, and cats, unfortunately, not so much.
We had a paraplegic cat and had it fitted with a K9 Cart (by the owner of K9 Carts). Sadly Molly did not like the cart and just writhed on the floor until she extricated herself from the cart. She was the single, funnest animal I have ever known. We miss her.
K9 Carts are WONDERFUL, just not always for cats.
FYI, everybody.
Pace and prayers to these two cats.
I have come upon special needs cats and kittens, I have one who is blind in one eye, they love and appricate you all the more! Socialize a few as well at my local no killl shelter.
Thanks for the PING and the info! :)=^..^=
