Lucinda, a teenage girl near Melbourne, used her birthday money to take 14 kittens by taxi to the Lort Smith Animal Hospital.
One day, Lucinda, was riding her bicycle along the Moonee Ponds Creek track in the rain. Suddenly five kittens appeared on the trail ahead.
“They were so cute. I didn’t want to leave them, they looked so forlorn and lost,” she said. “It was raining so I ran home to get a laundry basket to collect them.”
Lucinda raced home to get a laundry basket to collect the tiny kittens in, and when she returned to pick them up, another group of kittens ran up to her. There were 14 kittens in total!
Once home, Lucinda contacted the animal hospital, and the staff encouraged her to bring them in. With 14 kittens in her care, Lucinda called Lort Smith Animal Hospital and was encouraged to bring them in.
Lucinda’s father gave her permission to use $50 she was given from her aunty for her birthday to get a taxi to take the kittens to safety at Lort Smith Animal Hospital.
“It was my birthday a few weeks ago and someone gave me $50 so I used it for a taxi to take the kittens into Lort Smith,” she said.
Once safely at the center, the kittens would receive health care and go to foster homes while they grew bigger and stronger. The tiny kittens will now be vaccinated, desexed, and microchipped before they are found caring for new homes.
What a wonderful, kind, thoughtful, lovely girl to do what she did with her birthday money. Bless you and your kittens with a good. healthy life.
