Kitsy's story is the Greatest of All Time

Today's Happy Tail is from Kitsy, who is also our September feature in our 2023 Happy Tails Calendar!

Kitsy’s mother, a symbol of resilience, was discovered in the darkest of circumstances. It was a compassionate soul who sounded the alarm to the ISPCA National Animal Cruelty Helpline, shedding light on her unimaginable suffering. She had endured solitary confinement in a shadowy shed, deprived of the basic necessities of life – food, water, and a comforting place to rest. Even though she carried life within her, her emaciated frame revealed protruding ribs, and her poor body bore the scars of countless open wounds.

Thankfully she was soon brought to the National Animal Centre. Here, she received the urgent veterinary care she so desperately needed, her fragile existence sustained by an antibiotic drip. And then, just seven days later, a miracle unfolded as her offspring, Kitsy, made his entrance into this world. But his arrival was not without its own set of challenges; his mother’s wounds prevented her from nursing, leaving Kitsy frail and in need of nurturing.

Enter the dedicated and tireless animal caregivers, whose unwavering commitment knew no bounds. They took on the role of surrogate parents, feeding Kitsy round the clock, showering him with love and warmth. Through their steadfast efforts, mother and kid found their paths to recovery, emerging as shining examples of resilience, strength, and the indomitable spirit of survival.

Today, Kitsy and his mother have embarked on new journeys, thriving in the loving embrace of their new homes, a testament to the transformative power of compassion. But the battle against animal cruelty rages on, and your help is needed. Should you encounter a situation of cruelty, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Helpline at 0818 515 515 or email us at [email protected]. Together, we can be the voice for those who cannot speak, ensuring that all creatures find the care and kindness they so rightfully deserve.
