At the end of September, Barbara Gosselin, founder of the Shuswap Paws Rescue Society, was informed of kittens that were found without a cat. They were in the industrial area of British Columbia (Canada). When Barbara and the volunteers rushed to the rescue, they saw that the kittens had moved towards the sawmill. All the mushrooms hid near the metalworking shop, next to a pile of sawdust and scrap.
Volunteers approached the kittens, trying to assess the situation, but the kids were frightened and did not make contact with people. Instead, the crumbs fled, and it became clear that traps would be required.
Armed with the appropriate “equipment”, the volunteers began to wait. At first, the kittens were afraid to even approach them, but the smell of food lured the kids. One by one, they were trapped, and the shelter staff were delighted at this turn of events.
True, the joy turned out to be premature, because it soon became clear that only five kittens had been caught. This meant that another baby was hiding somewhere …
The mission dragged on the next day, but the results were encouraging. The obstinate kid was caught, and it turned out that he was the fairest of all his brothers. If the rest of the kittens are a rich red color, then this one turned out to be a more delicate shade.
However, the behavior of the kids was the same. All of them were terribly frightened when they were brought to the shelter. They hid in the corner of the carrier and refused to even look at people.
Realizing that the babies require special conditions, Barbara took them to her for overexposure. It was here that the kittens calmed down a little, and soon the volunteer was able to make friends with them. After a while, they were already purring with might and main and asking for hands to be stroked and hugged. While the kittens are growing up and gaining strength, volunteers are trying to find their mother in order to sterilize her. They want to stop the birth rate of homeless animals, and the only way out is sterilization. Well, six glorious saffron milk caps are still in foster care, after which they will start looking for owners, and soon each baby will be in the home of caring people.
Let it be so!
