They Show Up at the Door with Kitten, Desperate to Save Him, Overnight the Young Cat Springs Back to Life
They showed up at the door with a kitten, desperate to save him. Overnight, the young cat sprang back to life.
A week ago, two young people showed up at the door of PuppyKittyNYCity (an animal rescue), holding a tiny, lifeless kitten and begging for help.
The kitten was so frail that he couldn’t keep his head up. Dehydrated and malnourished, he desperately needed intervention. The finders brought the defenseless little guy to the rescue that night, hopeful they could still save him.
Meagan, president of the rescue, and her team took one look at the kitten, quickly brought him inside, and later rushed him to an animal hospital.
The kitten named Inky lay on a blanket, limp and lethargic, but he held on and even made an effort to open his eyes.
Despite all the uncertainties, they were determined to give Inky a fighting chance. Shortly after arriving at the hospital, Inky was admitted to receive treatment and round-the-clock care from the veterinary staff.
When they returned to see him the next day, they were greeted by a “mini panther” full of renewed energy. To their surprise, the kitten had a lot to say.
Inky sprang back to life overnight and found his voice. As they checked his temperature, breathing, eyes, and ears, he meowed his little heart out throughout the exam. He had a tiny body but quite the set of lungs on him.
While evaluating the kitten, they noticed his unsteady gait and slight tremors and suspected he might have a mild case of cerebellar hypoplasia – the wobbliness might subside over time as the kitten is nourished and regains health.
Inky screamed at the top of his lungs until he was held snugly by a little human in her arms.
