Abused Purple Kitten Bonds With Blind Kitten
SAN JOSE, CALIF. — This kitten has endured so much, but luckily he’s starting a much happier chapter in his life, complete with a new friend by his side.
An abandoned kitten, who was just a couple weeks old, was taken to a San Jose, Calif., animal shelter late last month, The Dodo reported. The feline, who’d been dyed purple, was sent to nonprofit Nine Lives Foundation for medical care and the group discovered that the cat was in terrible shape.
“I don’t know what happened to him, but my best guess is that he was used as a chew toy. We have a cat with multiple puncture wounds and abrasions,” veterinarian Monica Rudiger, who runs the organization, explained to the The Dodo. “He can’t tell us what happened to him, but I’ve seen this before. I’ve seen kittens be used as bait and chew toys for other animals.”
The cat, who’s now known as Smurf, was given the medical attention and care that he desperately needed and is now on the road to recovery. He’s received an outpouring of support from people across the Internet as well as from anew BFF — a blind rescue kitten named Wanda.
