Meet the lucky family of 6 cats rescued from a Polish forest. Incredibly lucky because of the current situation, there are more than 10 thousands of stray cats living just in one Polish city of Gdansk, therefore all the newborn litters get put down. Luckily this family came across the charity that decided to fight for them.

They are currently in my house (I'm temporarily living in Poland), however this is not a happy ending yet. Despite all the cuteness, they are a lot of work, and due to the fact that the mother was a stray- a lot of costs too. When she came to our house she wasn't producing any milk so it resulted in 5 very angry newborn babies. We had to immediately purchase some milk replacer and specialistic bottle. We had to also immediately handle mothers malnutrition and get her specialistic mother and baby cat food to make sure she has everything she needs to produce enough food for all the babies. The mum also received the milk replacer to drink, which is high in calories and nutrients what made her breasts slowly start working. 

Due to the fact that babies were born outside, the entire family developed respiratory issues that resulted in multiple vet visits as well as various medication including antibiotic injections. Whilst this is under control and the family is doing amazingly well, it resulted in even more costs.

The current costs account for over 1350 PLN/ 275 GBP already (details on the bottom of the fundraiser page) and there will be way more soon- worming tablets, vaccinations, and of course- neutering. These three things alone account for another minimum of 1300 PLN/ 265 GBP of vet bills in the future. Therefore the target of 500 GBP has been set.

We would be EXTREMELY grateful if you could help us raise the target so together, we could sponsor this beautiful cat family.

Today's picture- they are exactly 2.5 weeks old now!

They are now very playful but still learning how to walk

One of the many vet appointments at VetCare Przychodnia Weterynaryjna in Zukowo, Poland.

Vet bill after the first visit when one of the babies developed severe cough (choking like symptoms). She was then tested and given antibiotic injection which carried on for another 4 days. Unfortunately a week after finishing the course, symptoms returned and she (now called Gina) was returned to the clinic. The vet suspected Pneumonia but luckily the scan showed that the lungs are completely fine. Gina is now on the second dosage of antibiotics and is having another vet appointment tomorrow.
