Two critically ill kittens rescued – but we still need help

“Two critically ill kittens, approx. 5 weeks old, are fighting for their lives. Too young, too weak, but not giving up. Help us make sure they survive!”

That’s what we wrote a few days ago. Thankfully, things have changed. The kittens are improving—visibly. Their eyes are almost completely clean now, hardly any crusts left, and they look much better overall. Their breathing is still not good, especially for the smallest one, Bubbles (white with black). She’s still not doing well, but compared to how she looked on Monday… it’s already a world of difference.
 

We care for them around the clock. Medication, cleaning, keeping them warm, feeding, cuddling. They lie under a heat lamp, on a warm blanket, in a soft little bed. We’ve made a playroom for them with a soft floor and toys, so they can just be kittens again. And luckily, they are — they’re playing together again.

We’ve also been to the vet and came home with a mini pharmacy. The medication is expensive, just like the vet visit, and we’ve already spent a lot on food, supplies, and care. The costs are still rising and we’re really feeling it. But we want to keep giving these kittens what they deserve — the best care possible and, eventually, a safe and loving home.

That’s why this support campaign is still online.

We also hope to raise a bit of support for the mother cat and for Domino, the third kitten who has now been safely picked up by our friends. They deserve help too.

We’re sharing much of their recovery on TikTok:

We’re also looking for a GOOD home for the kittens. Preferably together, but separate is okay too. We do ask for an adoption fee — not because it’s about the money, but because we want them to go to real cat lovers. After all, they were once offered for free on a classifieds site, and sadly we know what kind of people sometimes respond to those ads. We want to prevent that.

Thank you for reading and sharing. And for all the support so far. It truly means everything.
