A new beginning

One day, watching a story during an English lesson, we came across the idea of this blog. We couldn't help but wonder why people mistreat these little animals. So, our project this year is this. Although we are aware of the difficult time we are living, and despite the fact that we cannot do as much as we would like to because of the restrictions, we, the students of José Ramón García Antón School from San Vicente del Raspeig in Alicante, have decided to initiate this project as a means to reach as many people as possible, so that they can realise how much abandoned pets need them.

An angel called Molly

One day my father went to Teruel to work there. His client had a kitten, but he didn’t like it, so he used to hit her. The poor kitten was small, and her eye was hurt. My dad decided to take her home to Alicante because the kitten was very friendly and meowed a lot.

Already in Alicante, the kitten stayed at my dad’s factory. Shortly after, my dad’s boss, who is actually my friend’s mother, took the little kitten home with her.

So now, my friend has not only a rabbit and three dogs, but also a lovely kitten. Her name is Molly and her eye has already improved. She is pretty good and the most important thing is that she is happier than ever.

Great tidings!

Hello, everybody. I'm very pleased to announce that these two cute little sisters have been adopted together by a family in Madrid. 

Gizmo, a survivor

On May 27, on my way to work, I saw a baby kitten with a beautiful red collar standing next to a garage gate. I thought it was so cute I couldn't help staring. However, as I came closer, I realised that there was no necklace. It was actually a trail of blood around the little one's neck. I was so distressed I needed to call my husband to help me. As I was about to miss the bus to school and he had the day off, he took charge of the bloody little thing and took him to the vet. We had to leave him there until the afternoon. I was suffering for the kitten as I didn't know if he will able to survive. Later that day, we went to the vet. The kitten was safe and sound and we took him home. We were  advised to keep him for three or four days. He was healing from a severe attack from another cat, apparently. But, oh, he was so cute! Really? Only for a few days? That was not negotiable. I had already decided to keep him from the very moment I saw the tiny dearie. 

He was named Gizmo after the film Gremlins, and he stayed with us for good. We healed his wounds and gave him a happy home. He started to gain weight, but suffered from several colds and also had a hernia. Soon enough, he will go under surgery to be sterilised and cured from that hernia he has. 

Gizmo is definitely a leader. He rules over Kitty and Rubius, ha ha, and he is the master of the house. At the moment, he is all energy. He runs, plays and even bites the other members of our animal family. We feel very blessed to have him.

Reina, a new friend

Reina is a chihuahua that belonged to an old woman who was ill and could not take care of her.

She told her family about it. A nephew of hers told the story to his friend. She asked him to show her a photo of the little dog. In the end, she decided to keep her. Now, Reina has a new home.

My dragon Mushu

Once I was spending the day at my friend’s house. We were at the pool when we suddenly saw my friend’s mum running to the cat they had there in the country. She was giving birth. My parents and myself were astonished and panicking, watching something like that for the first time. The cat had four kittens: two twins and two identical twins.

Three months later, we came back to the countryside and the four kittens nearly dying. It was so sad! My parents didn’t tell me anything but talked to my friend’s mum and decided to adopt one of them. So, this woman started to clear up the kitten of lies and little bugs. The little cat was grey with brown and black spots. I asked my parents why she was doing that, and then and there they told me that we were to adopt him.

Already at home, we introduced the kitten to my brother and sister. Sadly, a month later, news came of our little kitten’s twin’s death. We all thought that he could have been ours and not this one and be still alive. Nevertheless, we gather strength and named our little kitten ‘Mushu’. My sister chose it because it was given to her due to her great marks in high school. As she liked Mulan so much, she decided to name him after the dragon.

And now we have a ten-month happy cat at home!
