NOTTE’ & EBONY’S STORY
20 adult cats and two litters of kittens were abandoned on a very busy road in north Nanaimo, when their irresponsible owner moved away. Discarded along with bags of garbage, they had no food, no water, and no shelter. They were left to fend for themselves or die.
Eventually a passerby noticed the gathering of cats in the driveway of a now empty house. She made inquiries. No one knew how to find the cruel owner.
So the ‘Guardian Angel, Lori’ took it upon herself to bring food and water every day for these precious creatures. She called the local animal welfare organization many times. It was several weeks before they finally responded by trapping 14 adults but left the rest. Apparently they were short of resources and more urgent rescues needed attention. Lori continued caring for the cats and kittens providing them with fresh water and food twice daily. Soon the cold weather was upon them and more kittens were born. Some would likely die over the winter and Lori became more desperate to save as many as possible. It was a heart-wrenching ordeal.
Several months later, Lori became aware of CatNAP, a registered non-profit, volunteer, cat rescue group. Lori worked with CatNAP to trap the surviving 7 adult cats and 16 kittens. They were all given medical treatment, vaccinated, spayed/neutered and tattooed. Foster homes provided tender care until permanent homes could be found. The cost of pain and stress and loss of life of these innocent animals cannot be measured. A commitment by Lori over ten months, plus hundreds of other volunteer hours and donated dollars were required to resolve the cruelty of this owner’s negligence.
Now, we need your help! Longing for permanent homes to share their love and mischief with, we have Notte’ & Ebony:
NOTTE’ & EBONY
These two black beauties are available to complete the home fireplace setting. They are slender females with stunning sphinx-like faces and are full of fun. They have been fostered together and are bonded. Their permanent home will want to keep them that way (twice as much love).
