Safe - 9-2-2017 Brooklyn
SAFE 9/2/17 Poor little Junus and Kite were both found separately yesterday possibly hit by cars, and despite their conditions they’ve allowed all handling. They both needs follow up medical ASAP.
6 week old JUNUS was found injured and crawling down the sidewalk. He has a degloving wound on the left hind leg, and a right femoral fracture. He is able to move both hind legs. This adorable kitten needs further medical and a foster home to recover.
