Gizmo the Chicken Coop Kitten

Meet Gizmo, a tiny seven-day-old kitten who was found cold and alone in a chicken coop in the Wairarapa. Trauma and cold had already taken its toll on the wee thing and he has lost a toe and may lose the tip of his tail.

He is safe and warm now with one of our amazing volunteers who is feeding him every two hours around-the-clock and, of course, providing all the love and cuddles he deserves.

Despite a rough start he seems to be doing well but it is not a good time of year to be a new-born kitten and it’s going to take a lot of time and care to get him through his first few weeks.

We are looking for any brothers and sisters that are out there and of course his mama. She likely abandoned him due to an infection of her milk glands so wherever she is, she is in need of help.

If you can spare anything for Gizmo and the other cats in our care, and to help us bring more cats and kittens in from the cold we would be so grateful.
