I rescued two kittens that fell in tar, they were stiff, weak and malnourished. They were not able to walk or sit. And the tar was burning their skin. One also had a severe mouth infection that affected her jaw, she had surgery to reconstruct the jaw. She has a wonky-face now.It took us hours of marinating them in oil and rubbing them to get the tar off.They took some time to recover and gain weight and have the strength to stand in a normal position.Both are doing great now and looking for a home.
