Some cats are fighters. We know that here at ICHC. We don't see it very often on our house cats, considering the fact that they sleep all day, are probably chonkier than they should be and complain if their breakfast is five minutes late or if someone pets them at an inopportune moment, but some cats… stray cats especially are fighters. And that's definitely true for the rescued cat in this story. 

When these kind people rescued this kitty, she looked like she was done. She was sick, freezing and just lifeless. But she was one of those fighters, and once this fluffy feline was rescued, once she was warm again, she made sure that everyone knew she was not ready to let ago. And although the treatment was not particularly easy, she made it through, stronger than ever, ready to be adopted by her furever family, and now, at home, she is thriving.

    BLUE CROSS Blue Cross UK @The_Blue_Cross .. Found freezing, limp and lifeless inside a carrier by a kind passerby, by the time she came through our hospital doors, the team feared this poor cat was already dead - until she let out a tiny cry for help. #Thread 1/4 12:42 PM • Dec 16, 2024 · 184.2K Views 69 17873 8.5K 132 ↑

    It was never specified in this story who saved this poor little angel, but we would like to thank them anyway. It's not easy, saving an animal in need, and we're sure it wasn't easy to take a chance and try to save an animal that was in such bad condition, but they did it, and they saved her life, and we are so thankful to them.

    She seems like an absolute cutie, all throughout this thread. Clearly, she had more life in her. She wanted to live, she fought for it, and now, in her new furrever home, we are so happy to know that she is thriving.

    BLUE CROSS Blue Cross UK @The_Blue_Cross Named Finsbury after the London park she was found in on a cold, wet day, she was hanging onto life by a thread. Rushed into intensive care, tests confirmed she was critically ill with hypothermia and a respiratory infection. She was also covered in fleas. 2/4 • 12:42 PM Dec 16, 2024 16.8K Views •

    BLUE CROSS Blue Cross UK @The_Blue_Cross Follow To give her a fighting chance, she was warmed up and medication and miraculously, began to recover. Once stable, she went to a foster home where she enjoyed all of the attention. Now thriving in a loving home, her previous trauma is all in the past. Just look at her now! O 3/4
