CATS OF THE MONTH

This month, we are sponsoring 6 month old rescue kittens, Ru & Paul ❤️

Paul & Ru should be crazy teenage kittens by now, chasing toys, climbing furniture, and getting into harmless trouble. Instead, when they arrived at Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge from animal control, they were barely clinging to life.

At six months old, they should each weigh about six pounds. Paul & Ru weigh under three each.

They are so tiny, so weak, and malnourished that their adult teeth were the only sign of their real age. Their little bodies were fighting severe upper and lower respiratory infections, leaving them exhausted from just trying to breathe.

 It’s hard to describe just how filthy they were. Their tails, ears, and feet were coated in thick, black, greasy layers of neglect that came off in chunks. 💔

For days, Paul and Ru were too sick to lift their little heads, let alone walk around. They were terrified and unsure of what human touch meant, yet they allowed rescuers to give them the gentle care they desperately needed. They were accepting syringe feeding, a sign they began to trust.

As they stabilize and begin eating on their own, rescuers at RBARI are hoping they will be well enough for a soft bath to finally wash away all that they have endured. Beneath the grime and illness, Paul and Ru are emerging as mellow, sweet babies who just want comfort.

But they are still fragile as they fight to recover.

Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge is seeking funds to cover the cost of Ru & Paul's ongoing care: including vet visits, medications, and ongoing treatment. Every dollar truly makes a difference in giving these brave little kittens a chance at a healthy, pain-free life. 10% of our profits from orders placed this month will be donated to support Ru & Paul and RBARI.
