Kitten Rescue: 43 Lives Saved from Euthanasia
29 May
Summary
- A non-profit rescued 43 kittens exposed to a deadly virus.
- The kittens were at risk of euthanasia at a county shelter.
- The rescue group will quarantine and provide medical care.
In a race against time, the non-profit Furkids stepped in to save 43 kittens from euthanasia on Wednesday afternoon. The animals were exposed to Panleukopenia, a highly contagious feline distemper virus, at Cobb County Animal Services. Recognizing the urgent need, Furkids committed to the rescue within a two-hour window.
Transported to Cumming, Georgia, the kittens are now in a two-week quarantine. Furkids' founder, Samantha Shelton, emphasized the organization's commitment to giving these kittens a second chance. The rescue group, Georgia's largest no-kill animal rescue, specializes in such critical veterinary care and is mobilizing volunteers to manage the influx and monitor the kittens for signs of illness.
Furkids is appealing to the public for donations to cover the extensive medical costs associated with caring for so many at-risk animals. The organization is dedicated to ensuring every kitten receives the necessary treatment and support for a full recovery.
