Vientidos de Junio
We are currently taking care of four orphaned kittens:
Meet Nico. He is equivalent to a human toddler. He is super needy and will only stop his incessant crying if someone is holding him. He sounds like a deflating squeaky toy and he looks like a cross between a gremlin and Quasimodo. He is SO annoying with his constant need for affection, but one cannot help but love him, especially when he latches onto our pants like velco and climbs all the way up to our shoulders. This is actually a very flattering photo of him. Be not fooled.
Meet Linda ("pretty" in Spanish) Linda is the equivalent of pre-teen. She's like a thirteen-year-old girl going thru puberty.. her voice has even changed! Her meow is 3 ocataves lower and nothing about her is kitten like anymore. She’s not whiny and is easy to please. She spends all day climbing trees and chasing butterflies.
Meet Aries. He is the equivalent of a an 8-year-old boy. He was found drenched on the pavement after a giant thunderstorm. He was dragging his back legs behind him because for some reason they had very weak muscle and had no form to them. The vet made him makeshift casts out of masking tape, which he wore for a few weeks. His legs now function perfectly and his only flaw is a bit of skiddish shyness. His fur is incredibly soft and he is very loving to the other kittens.
Meet Salvadora. We’ve named her this because she is very sick, but we are going to save her. She was also found abandoned and is clearly malnourished and very ill. She has giant eyes that remind us of the eyes of starving children in Africa. She will look and feel healthier soon, I hope. We are feeding her with syringes and keeping her swaddled in a dish towel.
