Man Saves Stray Cat Glued To An Object And Provides Her With The Forever Home She Deserves

Emma Ackerman

It is not an overstatement to say that many species depend on humans for their survival. Nevertheless, some people are ignorant of this and treat animals as if they were objects of amusement. For some people, especially children who lack parental supervision and are irresponsible, it may be easier to act in a way that endangers the lives of animals. Similar to this tragic instance, some mean kids glued a cat to an object to use it as a plaything.


The little cat was in a desperate situation when a good Samaritan came across her. The rescuer had to turn to the internet for help. Fortunately, his post received a lot of attention from internet users right away, and coconut oil was suggested as a solution to help the kitten. The little cat was then given the name Coco by the rescuer as a way to keep in mind her unfortunate condition.

Despite appearing to be around two months old, this tiny furball barely weighed a pound and started to exhibit symptoms of respiratory distress.

A veterinary visit confirmed the concerning diagnosis: she had feline calicivirus (FCV), a common but potentially fatal infection.

Coco received a number of prescriptions for medications, but her breathing problems persisted. A second urgent trip to the veterinarian was required.

She had her nasal passages cleaned and received a nebulizer treatment this time.

To everyone's relief, these steps appeared to be effective as soon as Coco began to purr and learn how to clean herself.

When the kitten's story spread to a larger Reddit audience, there was a huge outpouring of support. Many kind users offered to contribute and help with Coco's medical expenses.

Her owner clarified that Coco was only taking two medications at this time: an immune booster, and daily vitamins.

Our brave little Coco would have these companions for the rest of her life, a small but necessary price to maintain her health and vitality.

Despite the fact that she still needs to put on more weight and has a long way to go before she is fully recovered, she is making great strides!

And of course, the most crucial thing was that she had discovered a loving home where she is valued.
