After Being Beaten With A Baseball Bat A Kitten Undergoes Life Saving Surgery
When we receive information from others that animals are physically abused we are really heartbroken.
Last Monday, a small kitten was handed over to the AHeinz57 Pet Rescue and Transport organization. The man who abandoned her did not know where to go next, but felt she had to help the cat.
Some neighbors had observed the young cat being battered with a baseball bat two weeks previously. This appears to be not the first time these heinous individuals have acted in this manner.
The woman who saw it all went to the kitten’s rescue as quickly as she could. When she saw the injured kitten, she begged someone to assist her. However, her illiterate notion of assisting the kitten was to have it shot!
Even if it meant ending the kitten agony, he could not do it. As a result, he realized that the woman wanted to help the little kitten and he took the cat to his relative, who was registered as the third person to help.
Knowing that the baby was seeking medical treatment, this man investigated wisely and promptly and discovered the rescue of the pet. He rushed to take the sick animal to a vet.
The poor baby had two weeks that was in agony!
“He was tiny, his jaw was crooked, he had a lot of edema, a lot of damaged tissue, and he had no sensation in his leg,” Christine Adams, Medical Director of the Iowa Veterinary Referral Center, told reporters.
Sunkist, the kitten’s new name, is recovering after surgery. He suffered a shattered jaw and a severely damaged leg, according to the doctors.
Unfortunately, due to his injuries, he had to have his front limb amputated.
Authorities in Appanoose County, where the kitten was first discovered, are presently on the lookout for the offenders responsible for Sunkist’s death.
Please say something if you have any information or see animal abuse in your area.
Sunkist will bear the scars of his trauma for the rest of his life, even as he recovers from his ordeal. That hasn’t prevented him from savoring a delicious lunch and professing his thanks to the hospital and rescue personnel.
On their Facebook page, AHeinz57 Pet Rescue started a fundraiser to assist cover the expense of Sunkist’s operation. Over 190 compassionate individuals contributed to his medical costs, raising over $5,000!

1) By offering free transportation to no-kill rescues across the Midwest and Canada for pets from regular shelters. We also provide nightly rest stations for our furry travelers, as well as interim homes for animals whose time at the shelters has run out but who must wait for a foster space in one of the rescues.
2) By rescuing dogs on death row from regular shelters and placing them in foster homes and permanent homes through our group.
