"Pretzel" is a 6-month-old kittten who broke his leg while living with his previous guardians . . . they decided that as Pretzel hadn't lived with them very long they weren't that attached to him, so did not feel they should have to pay his medical bills! Pretzel was subsequently brought to the shelter.
Through the Biscuit Fund Pretzel received the $720 surgery to repair his shattered leg and has since made a full recovery.
During his recuperation Pretzel was placed into a foster home . . . where he is now a permanent resident after they fell in love with this little cutie !
Trích THE CHATHAM ISLAND TAIKO TRUSTFeral Cat (Felis catus)
Feral cats are wide spread throughout the forests on both Chatham Island and Pitt Island and are the descendants of the domestic cats brought over by the Europeans. With their keen sense of smell and excellent night vision, Taiko adults and chicks have no chance if they are caught on the ground by these efficient predators. Feral cats pose the greatest threat to over a dozen species endemic to the Chathams. Over the breeding season around 100 feral cats are removed each year from the Tuku Reserve.
