8/6/23 – I know many people get tired of seeing posts about abused and injured animals but we believe it’s important for those not personally involved in ‘rescue’ to be aware of what goes on in the real world of stray animals. This is Orange Kid. It was in late May when a 4p1h friend contacted us about this situation. Here is a portion of her e mail:

“This cat was dumped at my house and the idiots upstairs who smoke hooka decided to keep him as entertainment.. they let him in and out 3 days .. my outside cats beating the crap out of him and also children chasing him all over .. 1 kicked him in front of me.. they kept going back and forth on releasing this cat to me for 3 days.. he stinks of hooka smoke.. and is traumatized, he is still sweet though out of this whole situation.. please help vetting this orange kid for neuter and vaccine, combo and treatment please if needed.. they allowed me to feed the cat so I slipped him a gabapentin.. they thought the cat was not feeling well so they finally agreed to release him to me today and rescue friends have offered to transport him to the vet and to help this orange kid mentally heal he needs to decompress after this nightmare but he needs vetting please”

We absolutely covered everything for Orange Kid and pray that he will find his furever loving family but for now he is in good hands. – diana
