On Wednesday, July 29, someone left an injured kitten in front of a house on our street. We know this kitten was left there on purpose, because he was ear-tipped and microchipped. In June, he and his family members had been TNR'd by us in a local trailer park. We don't know why he was dumped in front of this particular house, when all the person had to do was call us for help. The kid who found this little guy named him "Moose", and he was rushed to a local vet clinic. It was discovered that Moose's pelvis was broken in three places. Moose and the vets and techs fought hard, but it was just too much for little Moose's body to take. He passed away around 8:15 PM on Friday, July 31. We are thankful that one of the vet techs had taken him home that evening, and she held him as he took his last breath. Fly free, little Moose, and save us a warm spot......
For future reference, DO NOT DUMP any animals, anywhere, for any reason- especially injured animals! If you accidentally injure an animal that we have TNR'd, and cannot afford vet care, then CALL US. Do not dump the kitten or cat in front of somebody's house, in hopes that "someone" might see them "at some point". Moose was lucky that someone came home and found him before he perished on the street (because he was on the actual street).
