Woman Rescues And Rehabilitates A Cat That Was Hit By A Car
A rescued cat with a broken pelvis does not usually get a second chance, but Little Girl, or LD, did. Her story follows the kind of street rescue that starts with fear, then slowly turns into trust, healing, and a very determined home.
Crissy stepped in after LD was hit by a car, and the recovery that followed included vet visits, first meals, and plenty of small milestones. Along the way, LD went from fragile and unsure to a cat with a growing fan club and a human who never seemed to give up on her.
Her progress is the kind of thing cat lovers never get tired of seeing. Read on.
1. It all began when a small cat was discovered.
Fractures of the feline pelvis occur as a result of major trauma, usually from a road traffic accident. It is a serious injury that requires veterinary care, but when managed appropriately, the prognosis for pelvic fractures is generally good.
That injury changed everything for LD.
2. Day 12: She's Taken Their Hearts Officially
I mean, how could she not?
In the United States, it is estimated that 625,000 adoptable dogs and cats were euthanized in 2019. There are simply too many animals entering shelters and too few individuals considering adopting a pet while shopping for one.
However, this heinous figure could be drastically reduced. It only takes two things: more responsible pet owners to prevent animals from ending up in shelters in the first place, and more people adopting rather than purchasing pets.
When you adopt an animal, you not only gain a lifelong companion, but you also free up shelter space for another animal in severe need.
However, cats with illnesses and physical flaws are adopted less frequently. This is because people often think they cannot help or do not have the time.
But this story proves that anything is possible if you put your mind and heart into it.
This is similar to the woman who bought a car to shelter stray cats after condo rules banned outdoor shelters.
3. Day 23
She kept showing up for every step of the recovery.
4. Day 45 - Getting Ready For The Vet
5. Day 80: LG’s own fan club
There is still hope for humankind yet. We do cause havoc in nature and think we are all mighty (thus allowed to do whatever we want), but there are kind people among us.
And they try to create a balance. For every wrongdoing, they will do a good deed.
Let’s help them not lose that battle. Let’s be more careful when driving.
That way, there will be fewer injured animals on the streets.
LD’s comeback is hard to forget.
