We’ll never fully know the endless hardships many street animals must face. Sometimes, they’ve endured so much misfortune that they simply lie exhausted on the side of the road, waiting for the worst to happen. It was in this dire situation that Milly Sotak found a tiny kitten. She was so thin and weak that she couldn’t move, but that wasn’t the worst of it. The little furball couldn’t open her eyes, and her nose was covered in a strange substance. It wasn’t a pleasant sight to behold, but Milly knew she had to help.
Milly had rescued kittens before, but this one was so feeble that she decided to seek help from the California Street Cats Alliance. They took on the case but, upon first glance, they thought the poor kitten didn’t have much hope of survival. They took her to the vet, and the diagnosis revealed countless issues. The strange substance covering her face was the result of numerous flea bites. Additionally, she suffered from exhaustion, dehydration, severe respiratory infection, and calicivirus. To top it off, the kitten also had painful mouth ulcers that made eating extremely painful for her.
Helping her seemed like an impossible mission, but they christened her Dina and set out to treat her. The beautiful kitten received intensive therapy with antibiotics and antiparasitic agents. In a couple of weeks, she looked unrecognizable. The wounds on her face healed completely, and she began to regain her weight. The most difficult thing for her was to trust humans again, but everything changed when she met Rebecca Schneider. Rebecca had lost her pet a few months ago, and after a tough grieving period, she had decided to adopt another kitten. As soon as she met Dina, the connection between them was instantaneous.
Now Dina has a family and a home. She won’t have to face the hardships of living on the streets again and enjoys the happy life that all pets deserve. The kitten felt so grateful that she hasn’t stopped purring and showing affection to her new owner. Rebecca thought she would never recover from the loss of her old pet, but now she has rediscovered the joy of having a furry companion at home.
Sometimes, the best way to honor the memory of our pets is to continue adopting and fighting to make this world a safer place for animals. Share!
