Kitten thrown in river ....

[Velvet]

Yesterday Gill at Haven Rescue got a call to say someone thought there was a kitten in a river so she sped off with her son. Son had to go into the river to rescue a terrified ginger kitten. *He kept crying & slipping away up pipes or into reeds. *Chris got him eventually & took him to vets. *Vet says he is definitely no more than 6 weeks and very very thin. General opinion is someone threw this baby into the river :(

Any name suggestions?

Day of rescue*

This little boy needs fed up & given lots *TLC so will be with Gill a few weeks and then he has been booked already, so will never have to want for anything again ....*

Isn't he just precious...?

Oh poor wee sweetheart. How could anyone do something so heartless?

So glad to hear that he has a kind home lined up. "Tango" popped into my head for some reason.

Poor little man...Thank goodness they managed to get hold of him, well done to all involved...

I think Magnus suits him, poor wee soul who could do such a thing?

[Elaine]

Poor wee toot, how about Pumpkin?

[cats' staff]

Oh bless him, poor little scrap. How about Kingsley after the author of the Water Babies to celebrate his escape?

[JMPARK]

I think should be named " LUCKY "

Aww that poor kitten! How could anyone do that to such a precious furry soul? Wow, thank goodness he was saved! The name that came to my mind was...Copper. Maybe Sunny or Mango. Hope he keeps getting better :D

He's a little survivor ........... bless him. What a handsome kitten, would tempt me to come all the way over to NI to pick him up if he didn't already have a home lined up.

Apparently hes quite vocal & i agree, he is quite handsome wee man. Once he gains a wee bit of weight Gill will worm
Etc. Still cant believe how anyone would or could throw a kitten into the river. Rescuers have neen back several times to check in case there was more than one but either he was just lucky & survived or it was a random cruel act.

I dont think the home he has lined up would part with him now, i will keep you updated on his progress

He has finally got a name - Oscar, so thank you folks :)

I think Oscar is absolutely gorgeous!! And a very lucky little boy too x
