We found a kitten!

smurfy2day · Sep 15, 2002

We were walking by the orchards by our house tonight, and we found a little orange and swirl kitten.

 

It is a female, and we are calling her Bunnie because it appears that her back legs have been broken, so she hops like a bunny. She is also missing her tail which I found to be really strange.

 

We will be taking her to the vet tomorrow, so please keep her and us in your thoughts and prayers, as we would like to have a new addition to the family.

Wow, neat! I'll pray... I hope her legs heal and she'll be healthy.

Oh yeah. Hope he'she gets well.

I bet that kitty is gonna grow up and slash the person who broke it's legs!

I will pray. I was wondering if since she is missing her tail could she be a minx, or lynx cat? I guess I'm hoping it is that instead of something really bad that could have happened. I can't stand to see animals hurt

, anyways I'll pray everthing turns out okay :pray:

I don't think she's a Manx or whatever they call them. I think she was probably abused and someone cut her tail off or something. I was crying when we found her, but she is SOOOOO good natured. We have two cats already, but one more is just a gift from God!

AnnMercy2 · Sep 15, 2002

oh poo, I was hoping she was supposed to have no tail rather than the alternative. I'm so glad that she is good natured. So many abused animals are angry little babies and I can't say I blame them too much, I'd be angry too if somebody abused me

, I just can't stand people who abuse animals or humans for that matter, makes me angry.

sorry about that I tend to get carried away with that subject.

That's just fine. My husband and I are going to set up a rescue center once we buy our own home, and I feel just the same way you do!

She is crying like crazy right now, and it's making me a little nuts, but she has a right to I suppose. I just have to go to bed soon for work tomorrow!

Yay Kitties are cool, i've seen cats with out tails before..not uncommon.

Divinus · Sep 15, 2002

The vet will be able to tell you if she's a manx cat or not, surely?

I can't understand why people (purposefully) harm animals! Why don't they just buy a punching bag if they want to take out their agression?

smurfy2day · Sep 16, 2002

Just wanted to give an update!

Bunny IS a Manx cat that was abandoned because of the deformities to her back... that is why she drags her legs. The vet said she was born that way! Our cats LOVE her. They are all playing well, and loving on her, so we know that this is meant to be!

Aside from hubby being a firefighter he also works animal control within our town. I can not tell you how many times my home has become a temporary shelter for kitties. I live in gov. housing though, I can not afford to be kicked out over these cute little critters. I really wish there was an assistant program to help the cost of spading and neutering.

smurfy2day · Sep 16, 2002

Mel3- You're right about that one! the vet bill for this poor Kitty came to close to $120.00....... that's a wee bit expensive. $45 of that was for just the office visit itself!

AnnMercy2 · Sep 16, 2002

ALLLRIGHT!!! :clap:

So happy that she did turn out to be a Manx cat. I just couldn't bear the thought of somebody doing something cruel to a wittle kitty. And again soooo happy!!!!! :clap:

We were so happy too.

Apparently her conidtion is called "Mans Syndrome" It's rare, but tends to cause spinal deformations in this breed.

We have two 1 year old cats, and now Bunnie who is only about 5 weeks old.....

Awe Smurf, What a wonderful story! It may have been people who abandoned your new kitten, but the Lord kept watch over it and gave it a loving home where it can and will be cared for. And if he cares that much about that one little kitten, then think about how much more he cares for us, and watches over all our needs also
