Kitten in Distress

The IDA India blog hasn't been updated for quite long as I was on vacation for some weeks. Back again now and on the first day of my return, work started in earnest. I heard loud calls of distress and went downstairs to investigate. Our buildings are being painted and a poor kitten had fallen into a bucket of paint. When I rescued her, the paint was quite dry so she must have fallen in a few days previously and also ingested some of the paint as cats lick themselves to get clean. Managed to remove some of the large swaths of paint by combing and then carefully cutting off the fur with scissors but she still has a lot of paint here and there. She is now in our Deonar Centre and the Vet's advice was to let her fur grow a bit and then cut off the remaining painted areas. Hope she makes it. She's a sweet little thing. If anyone wants to adopt her, please let us know!
