Tot..at 5 weeks of age was being tossed in the air by a ruthless young male.
An elderly lady shouted at him to stop throwing this tiny kitten in the air.Instead of stopping ,the kitten was thrown directly at the woman.
Fortunately it was caught and gently cradled in the lady's arm.
She then took i to the nearest vet who called Kittenaide.
This little scrap of fur had a damged eye and underwent surgery the next day.
He is now recovering at one of Kittenaide's foster homes.

We have reunited a Siamese mix -Riley with his guardians after he went missing nearly three months ago.
 

Angel Kennedy
A gentle giant Kennedy was found in obvious distress a couple of weeks ago.(January of 2008)
He had been dumped in rural area and suffered severe lacerations on his lower back.
They were infected and required sugery and drainage tubes were inserted.
During this process he was also neutered. He will remain in the hospital until the sutures and tubes can be removed.
Then he will need a foster or forever home. If interested in helping with Kennedy's medical expenses or adoption call Linda at 519-324-2729.

Kennedy slipped away in his sleep Monday.  He appeared to be thriving and recovering from his abcesses.
He suffered a setback one week ago but again bounced back.  Prayers and sympathy to the family who tried to save this abandoned cat.
Godspeed to the Bridge ... Angel Kennedy

Tiny Tim's Story
Early in December of 2007, a car stopped in front of a house in the county.The interior lights flashed as a door quickly opened and something was thrown high into the air.
All the resident could see was a white blur and then the door closed and then the vehicle sped away.Curiosity led the homeowner out to the driveway just in time to see 
a small orange and white cat limping painfully across the lawn.It took nearly two weeks of coaxing and feeding to catch this injured feline.He was taken into
the vet's just prior to Christmas.Unfortunately his leg had been torn out of the socket at the hip joint and had already formed scar tissue.Tiny Tim was transferred
to the Kittenaide Nursery.He received the TLC and medical attention that he needed to recover.
Although he may always have a slight limp, Tim is now in his forever home in Merlin and safe.

Meet Hudson

His Story:
Hudson was found three days ago barely alive submerged in water on a pool cover in Leamington.Suffering from hypothermia and malnutition he was rushed to the vet's.
There he was dried off and placed on a heating pad.Hudson was so weak he couldn't stand.Further examination showed that he suffered damge to his right paw.
Saturday's vist to check on his status told a different story.Hudson got up on three legs and tentively tried to apply pressure to his right foot.
What a difference , warmth, a full belly and TLC can make.He will be sent to the Kittenaide nursery to continue his recovery.
When well,he will be neutered and placed up for adoption.

The following are from 2007 and Portia and Buster have been adopted.

This is Buster.
Update! I have been adopted! Update!
He was found in the Tecumseh area recently.
He has suffereed an injury to his right foreleg.
It is possibly a bite wound and it's infected.
He is between 6 & 8 months old and not neutered.
At present he is in the hospital being treated and 
will be neutered if surgery is required to repair his leg.
He is a soft grey male tabby and very friendly.
 

Meet Portia

Under the stone there was a note.

I found her at 9PM ..no idea how long she had been there.I carefully placed her into a kennel.
Her hind quarters were bloodied and raw."Portia"an eloquent name for a porch kitty who underwent surgery
