During the week care4cats spent working in San Antonio enevitably there were occasions when kittens were found. Some were motherless and others were in a dangerous situation near major roads and so needed rescuing.
One of the lucky kittens rescued was little 'Toni' a beautiful siamese kitten that had been found by a lady shopkeeper in a compound at the rear of her shop. Toni was motherless, hungry and trapped in the compound, as it was impossible for him to escape to get food as the walls were too high for a kitten to get over.
The lady was feeding him when he was discovered but of course didn't want to continue too long with the responsibility. Also, the shop was closed all day Sunday which was far too long for a kitten of his age to be left without food, water or company.
It was very likely that if he was left in this situation he might not get any food and starve.
Thankfully a home was found with Sabine and Klaus in Cala Llonga and little Toni was rescued from a hard life fraught with difficulties and taken to a home full of warmth and love.
Beforehand he was checked out by our vet Toni in Puig d'en Valls (who he is now named after!) who confirmed he was a boy, about 8 weeks old and a little too thin for his age. We worried a little about his big tummy but all was well after a few days when he settled down into a routine on kitten food.
This little chap is now on the way to full health and is loving his new home! Sabine tells us he is very intelligent, affectionate and enjoys being carried around resting on her shoulder. As he's a siamese he's also enjoying having a chat too!
We've included lots of photos as we think he's such a cute kitten! Enjoy them...especially this one where he's taking a nap!
