Miles is a very lucky kitten.
At only 10 weeks old, he has already been rescued multiple times
by the Newport Beach-based Community Animal Network.
The first time was before he had even been born when his pregnant
mother was rescued from an animal shelter’s death row, said founder
DiAnna Pfaff-Martin.
At 8 weeks old, Miles had to get specialized treatment costing
$985 when his mother pierced his left eye with her claw, she said.
Witnesses said she was frightened by water thrown on the cats by a
bystander.
“We are happy that the public has supported our goals as a
pro-life organization,” she said. “Other groups would be forced to
euthanize animals because of cost.”
The network has started a “Baby Miles Eye Fund” to cover the cost
of treatment. Donations can also be made to “Save the Baby Animals”
to help make it through the financially demanding kitten season.
“Every small life we save brings a smile to a child and joy to
many families,” Pfaff-Martin said.
