We don't even have words for the last 24 hours we've had....
As many of our community members know, a plea was made in Owensboro Chat about a community cat that was bleeding from her nose and in labor. Our assistant director, Natalie, sprang to action late last night to get momma veterinary care asap. Luckily for our organization, we are made up of several individuals from the veterinary industry, so momma received fluids and her vitamin K injection late last night. She received care early this morning in collaboration with Daviess County ITV, who had a vet on staff today to see her. This sweet girl was poisoned by someone in our community. She was poisoned and pregnant.... By the time our organization was able to get to her, she had already had one kitten in the middle of the yard, delivered the second one in the transport vehicle, and delivered a dead one later that night.
Despite medical intervention, she passed away in a foster home about an hour ago.... Devastated doesn't even begin to describe it. We are disgusted. We are appalled. We are disappointed.
If you intentionally murder innocent animals, may the deepest darkest depths of hell open up and consume you. Only a miserable, nefarious, vile shell of a human could do something like this and sleep at night.
Please be mindful that our team is mourning and trying to answer every tag/message/email/text about cats/kittens in need. We have to deal with heavy things like this weekly and keep going for the ones that still need us ❤️🩹
