Ahhh poor little Colby I will say a special prayer for him tonight and god willing he will pull through xxx

Hi Guys,

Just to let you know the little one is not fairing too well at the moment and we are very worried about him.

His mind is willing and he is quite alert but his wee body is just so weak he is really struggling tonight. I've had to put a call into the vet about him this evening and we have given a/b's and regular small amounts of fluids and recovery food and all we can do really is see how he is in the morning but for the moment it really is touch and go and we may still have got to him too late

In all honesty I'm really not sure he will make it through the night but I hope to God that I am wrong and the wee fella is feeling much better then

Sam - we looked up Azrael and got it means the Islamic Arc Angel of Death..... so ... we not going to go with that one sorry! We quite like Colby too.... so may go with that!

Please keep your fingers and paws crossed for this wee mite who my heart breaks for every time I look at his wee face.

Poor little boy - they just don't deserve it - people are scum - I'm glad he is safe and warm with you now and gets a lovely home with people that give him the wonderful life he deserves

Exactly what I was going to say, he's so lucky to have found his way to you

I still Like Colby for a name.

Or how about Azrael (means God is my help in Hebrew).

Poor little mite. Very glad this one is in your care.

Fingers & paws crossed that he recovers.

Completely off on a tangent.....I had a rat called Lazarus, because he was so close to death when he was really small. My friend basically "brought him back" by lodging him under his armpit for warmth and he lived a good few years after that!

Just been looking at that little face - just makes you want to wrap him up warm and feed him freshly-peeled prawns

Oh, lordy that poor little soul, thankfully he is in safe hands with you now and I'll be sending every good wish over his way xx

Lazarus may be appropriate as clearly he was at the brink of death. But more accurately that is a Biblical reference (though arguably, being a New Testament reference may have been recorded in Greek. There are a number of Greek myths relating to rebirth, but Lazarus is not one of them. There was a mystery faith practiced at Eleusis related to Demeter who was a goddess, so I guess this wee baby's gender may determine the appropriateness of a name. Demeter, being the goddess of the harvest (or grain) was subject to an annual death and rebirth and the worship was, in more ancient times, related to human sacrifice - the year king who was feted for a year then sacrificed for the future of the crops ... (short digression, I realise).

So glad this wee lad is in safe hands now, and clearly in the nick of time...

Oh what a little trooper he is gorgeous and now I'm sure in your care Sarah will blossom and grow to

Breeze is a nice name for this little star - lovely name Sharon - we had one except he was the most cat loving Border Collie I have ever seen - everything wether feral or domestic loved him and most night she could be found being used as a kitten hot water bottle.

Whats that name of the Greek god or something that came back from the dead or whatever? Lazarus or something... Sounds like he needs a good inspiring name..Not sure if this is a girl or boy but the last elephant diary had some very good names, Breeze and Babel and Harmigan being several... The last puss cat we had like this we called Isaac.. or Ismale (sorry thats not right)!)) Freeway was another.. Whatever he is a very lovely little puss cat and fingers crossed for a speedy recovery..

JackSpratt · « **Reply #11 on:** February 16, 2009, 19:16:37 PM »

He is so lovely, and he looks so trusting. Poor thing, has he got a name yet? I always think an animals new life starts with their name. What about Voodoo? (It means spirit in African and this guy has that all right!)

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #10 on:** February 16, 2009, 17:20:44 PM »

Just a note to say that the little one has eaten a morsel or two and is resting peacefully on a big thick wadd of warm bedding. Hopefully his strength will pick up in the next couple of days and his soreness will ease and we can start to get some weight back on him slowly.

He was one very lucky little kitty in terms of having been found. He was surrounded by fields on either side and it is a very busy road, often taken at speed by locals. Just a little closer and the poor wee babe could have easily been taken out by a lorry or car!

He is safe and warm now and that is the important thing.....

Poor little baby,i agree with BM the human race has a lot to answer for,

how could anyone leave such a little innocent in such a bad way,thank god a passerby had enouch compassion to take him to the vets or god knows what would have happened to him

ChrisB · « **Reply #8 on:** February 16, 2009, 16:12:29 PM »

Bless him - he has such a gorgeous little face - I am sure he will soon be feeling much better with your tlc.

Poor little mite, so lucky to have been found and ended up at Sunny Harbour. Good luck to the little lad.

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #6 on:** February 16, 2009, 14:48:53 PM »

Ahhhh what a pretty little boy .... I'm sure now he is getting lots of love and attention he will come on in leaps and bounds. Well done to the kind person who rescued him and of course you and your vets

Does the little lad have a name yet? How about Colby.

Poor baby, how anyone could leave such a beautiful little sweetheart in such a condition apalls me.

Thank goodness he has found his way to you, sending lots of love and positive vibes that he gets fit and strong

After a phone call this morning about a 12 week old kitten found at the side of the road and taken to our vets we have spent the morning dealing with this little one. There are pictures below which some may find upsetting.

Initial suspicions are that he is around 12 weeks of age however his teeth seem rather more developed so may be older and through malnutrition is much smaller than he should be. The Little one is starving and painfully thin, back legs are red raw and his little bottom is very very swollen and sore. He was covered in poo from a blockage at his back end when he arrived which was mixed in with weeds / grass from the fields at the side of the road he was found sitting at.

Luckily for him a passer by stopped saw he was in a very bad way and took him straight to our vets. Since his arrival he has been bathed (which showed the true extent of his condition) and has eaten a little and is currently resting in a nice warm bed. We also suspect that the end of his tail has been broken and set at a 90 degree angle which would appear to have been there for a while.

Our initial thoughts are that he has been dumped and we will update as we know more. Our hearts are truly broken over this little one and it brings a tear to our eye to see him so painfully thin and in pain at such a young age.

Pre Bath

Post bath

I'm sure you all join us in keeping everything crossed for this little one who after everything he has been through stil musters a purr for a cuddle!
