Bittie update

Well, Bittie is at Chez Miles. From the sounds of it, she's (I'll call
her a she, because that is what everyone thinks she is) had quite the
adventure. (

She was found in a rubbish skip this morning, and had a badly
burst/ulcerated eye and a lot of blood all over her. She was immediately
taken to the vet, who has discharged her this afternoon to regroup for
eye surgery on Monday or Tuesday. (Her left eye will be removed).
Because the vet called the RSPCA because of the cruelty aspect, they
became involved and came and collected the kitten from the vet. Cats
Protection threw (quite understandably) a complete sh1t fit, and rang
the RSPCA and demanded the kitten back. The RSPCA agreed because the
paperwork said it belonged to CP and so the swap was done in a B&Q (Home
Depot) carpark. Don't ask. She then found her way to me.

A very dirty, scruffy, long haired tabby and white baby, who purrs as
soon as you touch her. That's the bit that upset me the most. She
presses into your hand as soon as you start scritching and asks for more
and purrs hard. She also has very fine pair of lungs and a squeaky
hoarse meow.

I've nicknamed her Miss Whiskers, because she does have a very
impressive set of whiskers. )

She goes in for an op to remove the eye on Monday or Tuesday. In the
meantime, she's on antibiotics and lots of TLC.

Aww, she sounds lovely, hope she's OK and finds a new home once she's
recovered from her trauma. Which CP are you at? I would like to
volunteer at one, do you know who I should contact - every time I try
to volunteer with someone it seems they're only looking for
fundraisers, which I'm not very good at! I would like to get some
hands on experience so that when I get to move to Greece (and hopefully
help out with cats there) I'll have some experience, so any advice
gratefully accepted.
