The Smiling Survivor: A Kitty’s Journey from Abandonment to Bliss

The Smiling Survivor: A Kitty’s Journey from Abandonment to Bliss

One day, Kelly DeWeese was jogging through a cornfield, feeling down after losing her mom. But fate had a surprise for her! She spotted a tiny, abandoned kitten with weepy eyes and fleas. This little calico was in rough shape, but she didn’t run away from Kelly. Instead, she seemed happy to see her!

Kelly knew she had to help. She named the kitten Snickers and took her home for a bath and a vet visit. The vet said Snickers had a sinus infection, but the medicine didn’t work.

Kelly faced a tough choice: give up on Snickers or take her to a specialist. Kelly believed Snickers was a gift from her mom, so she took her to the specialist.

Turns out, Snickers had problems in her ears and behind her eyes that needed surgery. The first surgery went well, but the second one had a scary moment. Snickers stopped breathing for a bit! The vets did CPR and saved her, but she woke up blind. Kelly was heartbroken but refused to give up.

Then, a miracle happened! Snickers’ vision came back! It was like she got a second chance. Kelly and Snickers were overjoyed.

Today, Snickers is a happy and healthy kitty with a big smile. She loves to play fetch, watch TV, and cuddle with Kelly. They are the best of friends, and Kelly feels like her mom sent Snickers to cheer her up.

Snickers isn’t just any kitty; she’s a survivor with a smile that can melt your heart. Her story reminds us that even in tough times, there’s always hope and sometimes, a little miracle in a cornfield.
