Jim and Mar's Mobil Animal Rescue

A little while back we found a new born baby kitty just lying in the busy parking lot of the PX.  At first we did not know what is was just this tiny thing moving around.  Upon closer inspection you can imagine my surprise to find a little kitty not even one week old.  The eyes were still closed and his mouth was opening and closing has he struggled to gain footing without success.




Of course we took him with us, the first stop was the RV camp office, were we were provided with a box and big teddy bear.  After calling all the Animal Rescue places in town it became apparent no one was able to adopt him, without putting him down.  The one "no kill" facility takes three days to process.  Well, hum we thought its ours now and named him "Tucson", so we set off to the nearest Petco to get a bottle and formula. 


You cannot feed new kitties milk it has to be formula and they must be fed every two hours..OMG, now I remember that part and I certainly did not feel so "motherly" anymore. 
 
Lucky Us! Turns out one of the employee's at the Petco had just rescued new born kitties and was willing to take on a third.  After "feeding" the little thing with the bottle for awhile I was happy to give up the whole set up, plus a little cash to this wonderful young lady. 
It will of course remain a mystery to us where he came from.  It could have been a feral cat that was transferring him somewhere, however the busy parking lot kind of makes that a little hard to believe.  Of course it is possible someone dumped him, but given the fact that he could not move really they would have had to have left him directly in the path of traffic? 
Just grateful I am not a new mom.....and "Tucson" has found a home.
