Last October, a family of cats moved into a hollow space in my house through a hole. My parents sealed off the hole, without realising that the kittens were still inside. When we finally brought them out, the mother cat took two of the kittens, but left one behind. I took the little kitten, and gave it to my friend for temporary shelter while we try and find her an owner. Sadly, I could not find anyone who would take her in. However, as she was happy with my friend and his family, finding a family wasn't too much of a priority in my life. Especially with my university and visa applications, I eventually stopped asking for anyone. My friend and I had also decided that if we could not find her an owner by February, we would send her to the SPCA.
Unfortunately, Hanabi got into an accident a few days ago. Either she fell down really hard, or she got hit by a passing vehicle. Whatever the cause, she had temporarily lost control of her bowel movements, and her tail is dislocated. It will take us 2 weeks to see whether she can regain control of her bowel movements, but other than that she can walk, eat, jump, and still be the friendly kitten she is.
Now, with these handicaps, even if my friend and I were to take her to the SPCA, the chances of her living past one week are near 0. I have heard that if a pet is not adopted within one week's time at a certain animal shelter, they put the pet to sleep to make room for others. People who do not know what a lovable kitten Hanabi is will not even think of adopting her. She is facing a loveless life at the Animal Shelter, or she is facing a death penalty in a couple of week's time. And my friend and I only have two weeks left as a deadline. We have both tried Facebook and emails, but so far the only things we have found are pity and sympathy, which doesn't help us solve Hanabi's problem.
Therefore, I am appealing to all of you. If you are interested in giving poor Hanabi a home, or if you know of anyone who might be interested, please let me know. Ask around, ask your parents friends, ask your friend's friends. Hanabi has been vaccinated, but she had yet to be spayed. Her medical bill is paid by my friend and I. She is very lovable, and very active. She has also been potty trained, and recently she has shown to have regained control of her bowel movements. She is having trouble walking because of the fracture on her leg, but she is healing and should be alright.
Hanabi is a grey kitten, and is female. She is big sized, but only because my friend may have been over feeding her. She loves being petted and hugged, and is extremely friendly, even to other animals. Her name has two meanings, one is "Flower Petal", because I temporarily housed her in a flower pot while finding a cage, and "Fireworks", which also suits her, seeing as she enjoys pouncing and jumping at people a lot.
