For the Animal lovers out there.. (Serious)

This morning we woke up to the feint meowing, that sounded like it came from inside the walls.. After a little look around we found where it came from.. Inside this 4 inch gap between the neibours and our property.

After 3 hours of rescuing attempts the poor kitty eventally held on to a netting that we dropped in to pull her the 4 meters out..

This gap in the walls runs for about 10 meters and is atleast 4 meters deep from the top..

After a few hours at the vet for a check up and a few feeds the poor little kitty is now the newest member of our family...

She is ONLY 2 WEEKS old and spent atleast 24 hours alone in this hole, kittens this age require feeds every 3 hours..

Even the Vet commented that she has a will and fight to live..

Wow! Good job Gremmy!
You guys deserve medals!

Thats a really good deed... :)

I am just wondering - what would keep other kittens from falling in again... :rolleyes:

We looking into closing up the gap with rubble and cement. A nearby friend is doing some construction and has about enough to close in the gaps..

Back to Milli... (Silly Milli) thats what we calling her...

We got special formula called "Kittymilk", 5 - 10 ml every 2-3 hours, I got first night shift (now till 12) and Shaz will do the morning shift (12 - 6 ). And after every feed, wipe the bums with warm moist cotton wool. Then its snooze time for an hour or two..

We now have lots to keep us busy for the next few weeks... ;)

Silly Milli is a really cute name for a kitten that did silly things. :D

I am not sure if filling the gap between two separate buildings with rubble and cement is a good solution... Apart from the fact that it will acoustically couple the two buildings (which will make you hear your neighbour use the hammer), it may cause issues later when one has to be brought down - as it is connected to its neighbour with cement.

Can you just put a net over the gap with a mesh fine enough to keep kittens and little birds at bay? This may be cheaper too...

Gremlin thats awesome mate. I'm a cat lover and that is such a cutie.

But 2 weeks is so very young, she needs to be around her mum. You will have problems with her because she will never learn from another cat how to clean and groom herself, how to bury her droppings etc. Do you have any other cats?

Wow! You are really kind to take care of the poor and defenseless kitty. Good work! :thumb:

Poor kitten, but great job saving it.

I'm a cat lover myself. That one is very cute, I miss the days when my cats were small and cute, now they're fat and lazy. :D

/me hugs Gremlin :thumb:

Just a update...

After having Milli for 2 days she is getting stonger and more playfull, also she sleeps almost through the night.. our doggies have even accepted her as a new part of the family (although we dont let them spend more than a few minutes a day with her)

Spot the sleeping kitty...

Even feeding has become easier... she sucks so hard that there is no need to press on the back of the syrindge. We need to look into getting a bigger one as she eats/drinks about 13ml of Kittymilk a feed and we sometimes battle to pull the syrindge out of her mouth to swop out with a full one...

This has also become a big bonding factor between shaz and myself....

Gremmy...

Great job :thumb: Now I think Milli has become part of CG too :D
Unfortunately not everyone (infact most of them) do not consider animal life at all, often brushing aside the fact that every animal (creature) on this planet has the same rights to exist as we do.

Other good news...

My mom's kitty went missing the day before we found Milli... for the last week people have been saying they saw the cat here and there, but when we go to check - no sign....

This evening we found her sitting on the front wall, with another Kitty friend... My mom called Penny once and she came running.After a little milk and food, she started to play with us all. She acctually came back a much friendlier kitty.

So now everyone is happy...

Off topic... Talking of kittens and pets.

I found a photo in my archives taken about 3 years back...

That was the time when I had moved into my new flat, and on the first night, I saw the little puppy (he is called Teddy) find someone his own size (a cat) at a distance. Being his friendly self, he galloped the great distance to make new friends, but the cat was not amused. She kept her ground and gave the puppy a good dirty look. Teddy's gallop slowed down to a toddle and finally when he reached the cat, he behaved as if he wasn't interested in any game at all.

This is when I take a step forward, both look at me, and I capture that moment...

These were my childhood pets.. a X-Skipper and a Tabby.. Born about 3 months apart, and were almost inseprable ...

Gremmy...

Thanks. :) :D

Gremmy, the photo you probably attempt to link at is not visible... Your post shows an advertisement of a hosting provider... Don't think that was intentional...
