Taken in immediately, the animal managed to survive
The employee entrusted the kitten to his mother, Melinda Shelton. An animal lover, Melinda asked her son to take the cat to a vet. Due to the state of the animal’s health,the vet suggested putting it down in order to put an end to its suffering.
But convinced that the kitten had a chance of surviving, Melinda refused. She decided to take it to another vet clinic to get a second opinion. They then told her that the kitten only had a one in ten chance of surviving, and he was probably brain dead.
Placed under observation with medical care over a period of 48 hours, the kitten started to recover from its injuries and today, its health has considerably improved. Named Fluffy by Melinda, the little animal is now able to go on living with the woman who took him in and although there is a risk he could go blind, we don’t doubt that Melinda will know just how to take care of him.
