The stray cat wandering on the street، seemingly unresponsive to everything around، is only due to one sad reason…
When Stella looked out the window of her apartment in Sydney، Australia، on the evening of January 5، 2020، she spotted a tiny black and white kitten sitting in the middle of a footpath. Stella and her partner Jay were accustomed to seeing a lot of stray cats in their neighborhood، so she wasn’t initially concerned about the young feline. However، as time passed and the kitten remained in the same spot، Stella grew increasingly worried about the little cat’s well-being. “It was getting dark and cold،” remembers Stella. “The kitten was out in the open for a long time، just sitting there — too small to be alone، with no mother in sight — and wasn’t reacting to people walking past.”
Stella shared her concerns with Jay، and the couple impulsively decided to rescue the kitten، grabbing water and a towel before rushing outside. As they approached the small cat، Stella and Jay immediately noticed discharge coming from its eyes، indicating it was unwell. “We gave it some water and it could not have been happier to drink it،” says Stella. “It took a couple of goes to catch it as it kept bunny-hopping away but it quickly ran out of energy and we eventually scooped it up with the towel.”
Once inside their apartment، the couple gave the tuxedo kitten some goat milk and a box to sleep in، and the following morning they took the little cat to the vet. A thorough examination revealed the kitten was female، approximately five weeks old، and suffering from dehydration، undernourishment، anemia، and intestinal parasites
