When we saw Samuel, we needed a moment to take it all in.
Samuel was covered in open wounds, most prominent of which was the gaping lesion where one of his ears used to be. Instead, there was a hole, a large area void of skin and fur on his face and only a tiny flap.
Samuel’s feet and toes were badly damaged, his back legs were scrapped free of flesh in areas and a toe on his front right paw was badly broken.
All of Samuel’s wounds, from ears, eyes, body, and paws were infected, swollen, weeping and needing immediate treatment.
His condition showed he’d likely taken a serious fall onto hard, rough surface, indicative from falling from a moving vehicle onto the road. And after being hurt, he was let down again by not getting the help and treatment he needed and deserved.

Finn
Finn was brought to RSPCA ACT in a shopping bag by a kind member of the public who found him. They originally thought the kitten was dead. He was missing the tip off his tail, had matted fur and showed no signs of life.
