When you walk down the street, do you ever stop and think about the animals who live there? Most people don’t. They walk by and look the other way when they see a homeless animal screaming for help. This was the case for a cat on the side of the road in Greece. The cat had an infection in her eyes, in an advanced form. It’s heartbreaking to think about what she must have gone through before she was finally rescued.
The man who found her took her to the shelter, where veterinarians examined her. They determined that she was suffering from an infection in her eyes, in advanced form. The cat was also malnourished and had a broken leg.
It was unknown if her owner abandoned her or if she was a street cat with a tough life. Either way, she deserved better.
Despite all of this, the cat was still alive.
Her infection was cleared, and the cat was given a second chance at life.
The vets at the shelter watched her for about a month, and she could see. She was no longer crying in pain but purring in gratitude. At first, she was terrified, squirmed, and wanted to run away. She also entered the cage cautiously but eventually got used to it. And she even liked being worried about her.
It’s stories like this that remind us of the harsh reality that many animals face every day. We can’t turn a blind eye to their suffering. We have to be their voice and fight for their rights. Only then can we make a difference in their lives.
