April 2013

27th April 2013

Filomena and the 3 kittens were taken to the vet.
Filomena is recovering well but has gingivitis.
She had some injections and medication.
Foto
The 3 kittens are doing well but the small Tal-Madonna is a BIG worry!
The vet cut one of her eyes to let the pus out and this relieved her a bit.

We found a lovely fosterer for the Semi Persian and a lovely lady who's going to adopt him in 4 weeks time!
Foto
25th April 2013
This beautiful, very friendly Semi Persian escaped one week ago after he was groomed in a pet-shop in Mellieha. His owner didn't bother and just left....
Today he was found -everybody happy- but the owner
didn't want him back!
We picked him up so he's safe now but he's
very sad in a cage and is waiting for a FOREVER home!

Snug, a 4 months old kitten, was found abandoned.
He's being fostered and we're trying to find the best home for him.

20th April 2013

Three abandoned kittens were found.
They are about 2-3 weeks old and their eyes are infected.
We are taking care of them and are doing everything to make them healthy again: they are bottle-fed, their eyes are cleaned several times a day and we're giving them antibiotics.

We had a meeting with Roderick Galdes, the Parliamentary Secretary for Agriculture, Fisheries and Animal Rights on behalf of FARM (Federation for Animal Rights Malta).
We have high hopes that things will change for the better with the new government!

Late afternoon we got the results of the bloodtests of George and Filomena.
George was already deteriorating during the day and the test showed that he had FeLV.
The vet advised us to put him to sleep because he was suffering (his kidneys were huge) so we went to the vet in the evening and let him go to cat-heaven....
R.I.P. dear George, we loved you so much and you'll be always in our hearts.
Foto
Foto
At least the test results for Filomena were good!
The results for FIV and FeLV were negative and nothing is wrong with her liver and kidneys.
She's only starved and traumatised so we hope that with good food and a lot of loving, tender care she'll recover completely!

The vet made a home-visit.

She examined Muchka, who's going to Germany tomorrow, and prepared her passport.
Muchka is still very young, about 7 weeks, but once she found such a loving home we decided to let her go....
Foto

George and Filomena (the rescued cat of last Sunday) were examined also.
Their blood was taken for FIV/FeLV and kidney/liver tests.

A report was filed to the police.
Hopefully we'll find a lawyer who's willing to help us for free so we can take this case to court.
This is very serious and we hope to make a statement (and set an example) that this kind of bullying is not accepted in Malta anymore!

A female was found skin and bones.
We took her to the vet and is in our recovery.

Another volunteer was attacked when feeding the colony in Etna Road! This time by 3 women and a man; the man pushed her to the ground and spat in her face... swearing in Maltese...
The whole "conversation" was recorded on a mobile-phone and tomorrow she's going to report to the police.

13th April 2013

It has been a very busy week with lots of upsetting things...
First of all we got a phonecall that two cats (Thomas and Jacob),who were adopted 2 and 3 years ago,
had to leave their home because the woman who adopted them was moving to another flat where she was not allowed to keep cats...
We have to deal with this kind of irresponsible people and Thomas and Jacob were taken into the care of one of our volunteers today, untill we'll find a loving home for them... They're very scared and upset because they don't understand what's happening ....
If you can give them a FOREVER home, please contact us!

One of our volunteers who's feeding the cats in Etna Road (Mellieha) every day was attacked by a very agressive woman.
She was swearing and shouting that the cats had to be removed because they were doing pooh in her front garden...
She pushed our volunteer, sprayed the cats with a cat-repellant, put pooh in the water-bowls and said that she was going to poison all the cats!
We're taking this very serious and are going to report her to the police.

Banjo was neutered.
He's still a bit drowsy here...

Bro was taken to the vet for another X-ray.
There's still pus in the bones but it came less; it seems the bones are calcificating and fighthing the infection.
Another 4 weeks on antibiotics!
Is this ever gonna end?! He's on antibiotics for such a long time and we are far from happy with this!
