MOTHER CAT & KITTEN TO BE REUNITED TODAY!

After 3 weeks of trying to trap an illusive kitten who fled during a late night rescue when a humane trap malfunctioned, last night there was finally a sigh of relief when the final kitten was caught.

The cats had been living on the grounds of a meat market and we were first alerted to the situation by someone who reported that there had been threats that rat poison would be used to exterminate the animals. Though we could not confirm that threat, rescue attempts began immediately. Volunteers have been at the market every day for weeks, trying to capture the kitten, but she was very aware of the trap and we had to slowly-slowly-slowly move the food dish closer and closer to the trap each day until she felt brave enough to enter. We used leaves and grass to conceal the device and try to make it appear to be part of the natural environment. Finally, it worked!

Cold weather has just begun to move in at night, but this pair will be warm and safe. Today mama (left) and her kitten (shown at right during a veterinary exam today), will be reunited. The kitten is about 3 months old and has been eating kitten food all this time and she appears to be in good health. We are so excited to that the two will be forever safe and remain together as a family.

THANK YOU to all our supporters who provide food, medicine and shelter to cats in tremendous need all over the planet. www.HarmonyFund.org

Animal Rescue Chase

The Great Animal Rescue Chase celebrates the art of animal rescue with a worldwide race to rescue one million. It’s a free event, open to all, and is perhaps the only global animal rescue event aimed at helping any animal in distress, anywhere in the world. Our ambition is to create a culture of enthusiasm and pride in animal activism. We believe in teaching, by example, that there is a hero in each of us just waiting to be unleashed. Empowered animal lovers can not only save lives, but build the momentum for powerful animal welfare reform.
