Poor Kitty

cute_cow

On the way to the train this morning, I saw somethig horrible. A poor little kitty was run over. She jumped up on the wall as I was walking, so I stopped cos she seemed spooked. But she ran straight onto the road, and into the path of a gardai car.

The cat ran off, as much as she could, did not look good, and I caled the DSPCA, and asked them what I should do, but they weren't much help. Tried to look for the kitty but couldn't see her anywhere, as I said she just ran off.

She was a little giner and white cat, so if anyone knows of someone in the Bayside area (Dublin 13), who owns the cat, I am so sorry about what happened and hope she will be ok and not worst case scenerio

How do you expect the DSPCA to help though? The cat ran off so they cant send out an ambulance driver for a cat they probably wont be able to find or catch as they have many other calls to attend to, and they couldnt really take a detailed description as all you have is the colour and there is probably a lot of ginger and white cats missing from that area. The cat might head home if he wasnt too badly injured

With regard to the DSPCA, I had no idea who else to call as I have never been in that position before, should have probably said they couldn't help more so than were no help, and apologies for making it sound they way I did.

In all fairness I just wanted to try and help, I know if it was my pet, I would like to think someone else would do the same. I did call a few vets to find out if they had any clients in the bayside are with the same kind of cat but have had no luck. I hate to think of the cat lying somewhere suffering and hope she was able to make it home.

Cute cow,

I think you did the best you could. Hopefully the cat made it home and got veterinary attention. A horrible thing to witness.
