Charlie’s Angels? August 28, 2007

The picture accompanying this article portrays the cruelest aspect of nature’s survival of the fittest. This tiny male tabby kitten (who has been named Charlie) was abandoned by his mother and left to die after having his eyes pecked out by birds.
His fate would have been inevitable had it not been for a kindly member of the public who rescued him and took him to Glenburn Veterinary Clinic in Crumlin.
The Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary has always had a close relationship with the clinics in the locality so when we heard of the shocking plight of this tiny kitten our manager, Margaret Wade, did not hesitate to get on the phone and find an emergency foster carer.
Solace came in the form of George Anderson and his wife, Grace. They are long-time members of the Sanctuary and have in their care several cats with severe disabilities including blindness, deafness and low immune system. The kitten could not await a home in more capable hands. As both eye sockets are infected it may take a couple of weeks before the lids are in a condition to be stitched closed. In the interim he will receive the best of care and medication to ensure the rest of his life is a much happier one.
If you feel you are the person to offer a home to little Charlie, who has had the most atrocious start in life, please get in touch. If you are ringing the Sanctuary out of hours, please leave a message and we will get in touch.
