The story of a paralyzed cat who defied the odds with an incredible recovery

A stray cat that was found completely paralyzed in its front limbs has surprised everyone with its unexpected recovery. The animal, which could only move its head, was initially examined by a veterinarian who suggested euthanasia, assuming that it had been run over and, in principle, there was nothing to do other than avoid unnecessary suffering.

However, the determination in the feline's eyes told another story. "You could definitely see it in her eyes. She wanted to fight," said the girl who rescued her. Sensing that the kitten could recover, he decided to seek a second opinion. For this reason she was baptized as Faith-fe in Spanish-.

At the second vet visit, various tests were performed, including x-rays, blood tests, ultrasounds, and an MRI, but the results did not show any abnormalities. "There was absolutely nothing we could find that was wrong with her. And I just took her home," the rescuer told The Dodo.

The change began about ten days later, when the cat began rustling her front paws, a common sign of contentment and comfort in cats. "My God, how did you feel? We just wanted to cry. I think we cried," the caregiver said. This progress gave hope that the cat would eventually be able to walk.

With daily dedication and intensive physical therapy sessions, the kitten began to get stronger little by little. "Every day you could see that she was a little stronger and that she was able to stand on her own," the caregiver continued. This constant effort meant an extraordinary improvement, which transformed the cat's life day by day.

The impact of his story has been such that, after sharing a video on social networks recounting his recovery, more than 500 adoption applications were received. Finally, a family from Belgium was chosen to give him a permanent home. "Look at those two. Little by little they are becoming inseparable," her owner concludes happily as she shows the kitten with her new cat companion.
