Donations Needed for Rescue of 21 Himalyans

PERMISSION TO CROSS POST!

A breeder of Himalayan kittens with dementia could no longer care for her
cats and kittens, several of which were newborns. The woman's family
wanted them out of the house as soon as possible. All vetting was needed
and the family was unable to help with their removal, vetting or care.

The cats and kittens were picked up on Friday, March 19.
Persian Purrbaby Rescue and Hals Haven are partnering with another rescue
group in order to handle so many cats and kittens. All are very small and
strictly volunteer organizations. They do not have the funds to handle
this situation. But they could not stand by and allow these beautiful
purebred kittens and cats to be dumped in a pound, or worse.

All cats and kittens needed physicals, testing, vaccinations, flea and
worm treatments, spay or neuter, and grooming. Many are in need of
socialization. Carriers had to be purchased and a van rented just to move
the cats to safety. The costs have and will continue to add up quickly
but the rescue groups needed to act quickly. The original count was 22.

There were three new born kittens two of which died before the cats could
be picked up and one cat, originally forgotten about, was added.
Upon arrival all were very dirty, most were matted and several were sick.

Those old enough and healthy enough have already been spayed or neutered.
All have tested negative for leukemia with the adults also negative for
FIV and Heartworms. All have been vaccinated, de wormed, treated with
Revolution and micro chipped.

One of the adults (Sabrina) has had over 100 kittens, had kittens in
January and is 11 years old. Sabrina had blood work before surgery.
While she was being spayed she also had a dental and three teeth,
including a canine, were pulled. Sabrina did not handle the anesthesia
well and had to be watched closely for 24 hours until she was alert.

Another adult (Ruby) we believe has been breed every four months for at
least the last two years. Ruby had kittens in December 2008, July 2009,
November 2009 and March 2010. This we know from their registrations and
we believe she also had kittens in March 2009. One of her kittens born in
November may have to have surgery to repair his rectum. We are unsure if
there was an injury or birth defect and have had to wait for the swelling
to go down with treatment to find out.

If you would like to see the pictures of the cats and the environment they
came from you can see them at

used for the care of these kittens and cats.
