People Bring a Stray Cat to Safety Only to Discover They Have Also Saved 4 Tiny Kittens
A Good Samaritan spotted a stray cat hobbling on the street with an injured paw and immediately stopped to check on her.
The weary cat didn’t flee when her rescuer approached her as if she’d been waiting for help. Relieved to be found, she leaned into her rescuer as she was held. The finder quickly realized the severity of her wound and contacted her local rescue for help.
Despite being full, Chatons Orphelins Montreal didn’t hesitate to take the cat and provide immediate care.
The cat had been living with the untreated wound for some time. “We named her Chalala. She lost two toes from her right paw,” the rescue shared.
Along with the other injuries they found, they suspected the cat had been in a car accident. “She was so amazingly calm, letting us tend to her without any fuss throughout the process.”
After cleaning and treating the wound on her paw, Chalala seemed to feel much better, slow-blinking at her carers and filling the room with her rumbling purrs.
She likely had been outside for a while, consuming whatever she could scavenge. “Her stomach was full of strange stuff.” She was starved and tried everything she could to quell the hunger and survive.
To their surprise, Chalala wasn’t only eating for herself but also for four little ones. An exam confirmed that she was pregnant. “She is tiny for a five-year-old cat. She loves being held in our arms. She is so hungry that she dives into the food when she eats.”
With a loving foster home and boundless food, Chalala began to heal and put on some much-needed weight.
When her bandages were removed, Chalala started walking around as if nothing had happened. She healed up beautifully, and her belly ballooned. “She can walk normally now even though she is missing two toes. She has regained strength and is doing very well.”
Chalala explored her cozy room and sat comfortably in her bed as if giving her stamp of approval.
She tried out every nest and box prepared for her, testing them for the big day. The moment she heard her foster mom, she perked up and made a beeline for attention and pets.
