Sandy


Two days ago I sent Debbie and Becky outside to fill up a container with water since I had workers laying linoleum on my floor in the kitchen and the container was too large to fit under the faucet in the bathroom. Debbie promplty returned with this kitten. She was so pathetic sounding and looking. She could barely meow, and was very lethargic. She was dehydrated and looked malnourished as well. She had no strength or will to try and climb out of our little home we made for her in a plastic container. I gave her water right away and she drank and drank.

I called some friends of our who has a goat milking and asked for some. By that night she was trying to climb out of the plastic tub. By the next day she accomplished climbing out, and today she is playing like a little kitten should.

We decided to call her Sandy since when we found her she had sand all over her face, also her tail and the tips of her ears are the color of sand. Sandy is dining on kitten chow and goats milk, we expect she'll be plumping up soon. She'll soon become an outside cat, as soon as I get some wormer in her to make sure she is healthy on the inside.

The picture taken of her was only minutes after Debbie found her.

I think that the kitten Sandy is adorable, and it's good that you took her in and helped her to get better. So many animals die each day because they are alone and forgotten. They are sick and half-dead and so it's great that people are saving them!-grace c.

Ok, Grace, I think you really like the cat. Want me to ship her to you to keep Georgia company? Sounds like she needs a little pick me up anyway since Bear stopped chasing her and started playing with your puppy.
