Meet
Peaches (Princess Peach). I first found her on September 15th of this
year. She had been coming around my aunt's backyard for a few days (a farm
area with foxes and coyotes. No place for a tiny kitten). We realized she
was in very bad shape and I couldn't leave her there alone. She was
teeny-tiny, skinny, and malnourished (she was about two months and weighed
less than two pounds). Something was not right with her mouth, but we
couldn't get a close enough look. When I was finally able to catch her, we
quickly put her in a box (with holes, so she could breathe, of course) and
drove her over to the vet. He took her out to examine her ... it was worse
than we thought. The skin of her bottom jaw was completely torn off the
bone. It was hanging, bloody, dirty and infected. There was nothing he
could do to fix it. Stitching was not possible, because there wasn't any
skin to connect the stitching to. We didn't give up. The vet gave me an
antibiotic to give her, orally, twice a day, with a little syringe. On top
of that, she had fleas and worms. It's been a little over a month, but
look at her now! She's a fighter! She's happy, healthy, and good as new.
She's lucky she went to the right house and found me, otherwise she
probably wouldn't have survived out there alone. She's very cuddly, loves
to snuggle, and is constantly purring. We know she's thankful to be alive.
