It seems like not a day goes by without a new request for help with stray cats suffering out in the cold. We do our best to help as many as we can, but we are currently very overloaded with rescued cats.
So, it was refreshing to hear from a resourceful PFA member from Balgonie, who, along with her partner, trapped and rescued a mama cat and 2 kittens that were sheltering under an abandoned building. They had been feeding these cats for some time, but after finding one of the kittens frozen to death last week as temperatures plummeted, they took fast action to get the remaining cats out of the cold that same day. The cats are now safe and cozy in a heated garage, and they have found a home for one of the kittens already!
This is in addition to rescuing a cold, scared and hungry tame cat (the fluffy grey cat) off the street, who has now taken refuge in their laundry room while we wait for foster space to become available.
They did all this with just a bit of advice and encouragement from PFA volunteers.
Every day we have to face the fact that we can not help every stray cat out there, as much as we want to do so. It is comforting to know that there are kind people out there who will take the initiative to become cat rescuers themselves.
Kudos to Janet and Pat for saving these cats from the cold and giving them a chance to be loved in an adoptive home!
