Johnny-cat: An Exception for Safety's Sake



This adorable litte guy is Johnny, a 4 month old kitten rescued from a harrowing experience last night.

Late in the evening Pat, PFA President and Head of Pet Rescue, got a call from a concerned woman who had witnessed a tiny kitten being cruelly tormented near one of our feeding stations.

The poor stray kitten was likely trying to make his way to familiar territory, but he had the bad luck to encounter a nasty man who was continually soaking him with a hose when he tried to get into the yard, leaving him shivering with cold and terror.

The woman grabbed the kitten and kept him warm and gave him some food until a PFA volunteer could pick him up and get him to the safety of an emergency foster home.

Even though we are well over capacity already, we could not fathom leaving a young kitten in a situation involving deliberate cruelty.

Little Johnny is a lovely silver tabby with white paws, very friendly and playful and he definitely prefers kisses and cuddles to cold-water soakings! He will be listed for adoption shortly.
Our foster home situation continues to be desperate, so if you know of anyone willing to take in a cat or kitten in need, even short term, please contact us at saskpeopleforanimals@gmail.com
