They just keep on coming....

Well.... they just keep on coming! Kittens, that is.

This little fellow was found alone, screaming by the dirt road. It's one eye was badly infected, had an army of fleas (I have never seen so bad case!), a small cut in it's head and was hungry and miserable. Well, long story short: it's in my house now. Has been washed, fleas picked out with tweezers, eye infection is gone, food is available and life is safe now.

Well, my Dimmu of course gives the tiny new one a bit of hard time. Dimmu thinks this is a new toy for her to chase and play with, but the little kitten is a strong, quick one, and does not seem to mind. And when it's done with running around with Dimmu, there is the safety of  it's own basket where it's nice and warm to take a nap.

My house is kind of full already, I do realize that, but what can you do?  If there's a kitten in need, and once it hangs on to you with it's tiny paws and sharp nails, looks you in the eye and says meooow, maybe purrs a bit, I just give up. I do not have a heart to say no, or to throw tiny, needy kittens out and just say "well, good luck! Try to survive!" They need care and a safe place to grow up big enough to make it out there, in the big world.

More cat news quickly:

we have the next 2 animal clinics scheduled. First one will be next month, November 24-30, and then another one in January 2014 (15th until 30th). We will need volunteers to help out, so if you'll be on the island at those dates, please come join us, spend a day or two or more helping!
