Hello, Kitty

POSTED: Wednesday, June 23, 2010, 7:01 PM

Steel your hearts, Clog readers:

Blogger-about-town Brendan Skwire (of Brendan Calling) alerted CP to a kitten emergency at his house, and asked us to pass along the info:

Baby Henry has an eye infection and needs a trip to the vet — and a loving home — ASAP. Brendan's already adopted a bunch of cats from the neighborhood and has no more room for Baby Henry.

Brendan says: "We’ve actually done a bunch of the legwork already, getting the little cat used to human touch by petting him when we feed him. Contact me through comments, and PLEASE share this post with other people you know who love cats."

Click here if you or someone you know might want to adopt Baby Henry; then click here to watch a video of a kitten wearing a tiny hat, eating a tiny ice cream cone, because you probably need something to make you feel better right now.

Brendan  - Unless someone else comes forward very soon to adopt/get vet care for Henry,  is there is *any* way at all to get him to a vet or clinic ASAP, and work on adoption later? There are some relatively reasonably (even low)-priced ones in Philly, eg the PAWS Clinic http://www.phillypaws.org/Spay-Neuter-Wellness-Clinic/
Girard Vet Clinic 215-232-0831
Dr. Marsh @ Schneider Veterinary Clinic (215) 226-0610
etc., etc.
Depending where you are, you might want to contact one or more of the Philly TNR/stray cat rescues listed on the PCCC site http://phillycats.org/ (under Members) in case they can help.

Apologies if you've tried all this already - I hope things work out for the little guy.

I don't understand why the cat hasn't been taken to the vet yet. Or give him to the humane society! He can't just exist like that! If he has, then that's great. But what's the status?? Updates, please!!

Like Dan S. said, VET CARE COMES FIRST, adoption SECOND. (or the animal will clearly die or be very sick and you will be responsible.)

Please give an update on the situation - I can donate money if needed.
