Following a distressing incident, one of the kittens remains missing, while the other was swiftly taken to Lort Smith Animal Hospital after being found by a passerby and rushed to the emergency department.
The kitten, now named Dorothy, is currently receiving treatment for a suspected fractured pelvis and is being cared for in a foster home between hospital visits.
“It’s unfathomable how anyone could inflict such harm on animals, especially vulnerable six-week-old kittens,” expressed Dr. Jessica Wilde, chief veterinarian at Lort Smith Animal Hospital.
“Our team was and continues to be heartbroken by this event. Remarkably, little Dorothy is showing incredible resilience, and we are dedicated to doing everything possible to aid in her recovery.”
Dr. Wilde emphasized that there is “no excuse” for the actions of the individual responsible for throwing the kittens.
“There are hundreds and hundreds of vets around the state and many shelters who would take animals like Dorothy into their care,” Wilde said.
“Tossing them out of a window is simply unacceptable and beyond cruel.”
Lort Smith nurse Jordan is taking care of Dorothy while the kitten continues to receive treatment.
“She is such a beautiful little girl and despite her terrible start to life, is getting stronger every day, we will make sure to stay by her side and give her all the love and care she needs to get through this traumatic event,” Jordan said.
