Meet Blip, the backyard bred kitten

Well, I have Christened him Blip because he hasn't got a name. I met this little one today at a friends place. Although she is a breeder she certainly didn't breed this poor little boy, he's a victim of an idiot BYB who had him for 5 weeks and he was dying so she then asked a friend to care for him. He is now 7 weeks old believe it or not and is still absolutely tiny. She knows he needs his little face washed but the food's all dried on so it will take a bit of getting off. He is the most pathetic, frail little thing, but absolutely adorable. I am really hoping he will survive. The sad thing is the idiot BYB still intends breeding more 'cause you can sell them for $800 each! She also breeds Cavaliers and one **** has had a litter a year for the last 3 years, no papers of course. Well, who can blame her, there's good money in it.

Thats so sad, have you taken it to a vet? If not do that immediately. You should report your "breeder"-friend because that is just cruel

Sad story. I found one of our cats in the park with a colony of ferral cats. We took her to the vet thinking she would need to be put down. She spent 2 weeks there and survived to be a big beautiful cat. It was worth it.

Ohhh the poor little thing! Sending much love and many prayers that the little guy will be ok. Blip sounds like a great name to me. Please keep us updated on his condition!

It make me so angry that these people get away with this inhumane treatment of animals. There should be stiffer fines and total bans on owning any animals.
If I were there I would take Blip....poor soul.

And yes.report her until someone takes notice..unfortunately, like the SPCA here, if the animal is being housed and fed, there is no cause to remove them from the home..things need to change.
