Emotional support for a kitten

I donate to Animal Care Egypt (ACE) from time to time. Our niece was married in Luxor in 1998 and we visited the veterinary hospital while we were there. People were very poor and the animals were in terrible condition, all skin and bones. The economy hasn’t improved very much even now and people and animals have a hard time. Animal owners have little knowledge on how to care for horses, donkeys and/or pets.
ACE was founded by an English woman and is totally run by donations. No-one is turned away and treatment is free. While treating animals, the vets give advice and educate owners as much as they can. I check the Facebook site each day and today a young boy brought in a kitten for treatment. What made me smile was that the kitten’s father was brought in too in a cat carrier – as emotional support. It made me go awww! 
The photo is mine of the two cats we had years ago. Every time Blue poked his head out, Smoky would bat him one.

@wolfgirl569 Money and ignorance. They are being shown better ways to pad the cart saddles and nosebands.

I like the persons who run ACE since they care for animals in need and are supported by donations.

That's a good cause. My neighbor would like that. He works for the Denver Animal Shelter. He's a big animal guy.

@teamfreak16 That is really to be commended. The need in those places would be very great.

Some people are so kind. However, some cats are not very nice to their offspring and may even eat them. One of the cats sis has was attacked by her father who mutilated her ears. They don't look that bad, but you can tell they were bitten.Luckily, she gets along with her brother who lives with her.

They do love their pets but need to learn more about how to care for them.

It’s obvious that animals bond together just like humans do. I’ve mentioned my neighborhood cat that I call “Flat Foot” because she crawls under my gate instead of jumping over it. She’s always with her calico buddy. I don’t know if they’re siblings or not, but they’re always together at my house: one jumping over the gate, and one crawling under.
It’s wonderful that people care for the animals affected by bad economies.
Love the story about Blue and Smoky, too!

They truly seem to love their cats and dogs but the equines get a very raw deal. The vets educate as much as they can which is a good thing. They distribute padded nosebands to replace the chains they normally use and show better ways of harnessing.

That sounds like a really good cause that you donate to. I would have smiled seeing that Facebook post about the emotional support cat day at the vet.
Your cars were really pretty.

The way it was written it was obvious the writer would have been smiling too. 
The cats were real characters. Thanks.

I love that the father cat gave the kitten “support”. It makes sense to me. I’ve brought a person with me a time or two at the doctor for support. I could have gone without them, but hey, everyone, even a kitten, needs emotional support every now and then.
