Miracle

One week ago today. J had a life altering experience when he discovered a kitten trapped in his work dumpster. It was stuck with its head outside a drainage hole at the bottom.
I have a picture of the hole but it wouldn't post. J jumped in the dumpster and tried to pull him out but his head was stuck on the other side with his neck stretched through the thickness of the dumpster and the pipe. They tried every kind of lube you can think of and still he was not coming out. His kind co-workers helped by actually grinding and splitting the pipe, without injuring the kitty, and releasing him from his torture. However, the kitten was not doing so well. He was covered in slime and who knows what, and very cold. The police were called and they too were kind samaritans and rushed him to an animal hospital. The vet tech explained that he was basically a corpse upon his arrival and they did not think he would make it. He had no body temp, his pupils were dialated, they told everyone not to get their hopes up.

However, those vets saved his life. They gave him a warm bath and an I.V. and they showed him some love, and low and behold he is fine. He is more than fine, he is thriving in our back room/office right now, as I write he is sniffing my feet and trying to get my attention.

The animal clinic is calling him the miracle cat. We call him Stubby. (note he is missing his tail, but for a cute little stub).

Stubby is now a member of our family, although he has yet to meet his sisters.

This is his first night with us when he still had his bandage from his hospital visit.

We love you Lil' Stubbs!
