Abandoned litter waiting for their dinner at The Mayhew Animal Home

One week ago a mum and her 6 kittens was dumped at The Mayhew Animal Home in London. Today, the mother has had a teriible ruptured absess on her mammery glands and can no longer feed her litter of tiny babies.
Staff will now be hand rearing these kitties round the clock as they need fed every 2 hours and monitored carefully. We have nightstaff at the Home so these kittens are able to receive 24 hour care. Here is a short video of the litter in our theatre waiting for the dinner. Mum is now in recovery, but is a harsh reminder of the complications that arrive with pregnancy and litters and why people should vigillantly neuter all pets in their home.

OMG, the poor little sweetheart! She must feel desperate to feed her little ones. :-( Do you let her see them? I know it's possible that she may well forget them if she doesn't see them for a while.
