In a True Christmas Miracle, Woman Finds a Tiny Injured Kitten, Misses the Holiday Dinner to Take Her to the Vet and Adopts Her Into Her Wholesome Family

Christmas is the most meowgical time of the year, and everyone knows that. The trees, the lights, the music… you can just sense that meowgic in the air. With that meowgic come Christmas miracles. For each person, it's something different, and every year, it's something different. And a few years back, for the person in this story in particular, a little cat-shaped Christmas miracle happened which they finally decided to share. 

This person rescued a kitten on Christmas eve, which is a miracle and a story in and of itself. But the kitten they rescued was one that truly needed their help. If this woman hadn't rescued her, this night would have turned from a Christmas miracle into a Christmas disaster for this kitten, because chances are that in her condition, she wouldn't have made it through the night. But things turned out the way they were supposed to, and it was Merry Christmas for all.

    disdkatster • 6d ago Did the vet have any idea what had happened to her? When I saw the first picture I thought, "please don't let it be of another kitten that didn't make it".

    megggggyb OP • 6d ago the vet said she thinks she may have gotten her arm stuck in something and pulled it free. i won't go into gross details but it was pretty gnarly and she had to fight off an infection for about a week or so before the amputation because they were worried she was too sick to withstand going under. she's a fighter!
