If Cats Really Have 9 Lives, This Kitten’s Story Will Amaze You

Sharing is caring!

Meet Stanley, a little kitten who defied the odds, thanks to a kind-hearted construction worker named Dwight. In a heartwarming tale of compassion, a kitten’s journey from near death to a loving home will touch your heart.

Dwight, the foreman on a bustling construction site spotted a nearly frozen kitten. Without a second thought, he rushed the shivering feline to the Planned Pethood Clinic in Virginia, where dedicated veterinarians were ready to spring into action. 

The kitten’s condition was dire. His body temperature was dangerously low, and he showed no signs of responsiveness. It was then that Dwight’s remarkable kindness shone through as he offered his credit card to cover the costs.

One of the vets expressed admiration: 

“With the kitten not having an owner or no one knowing where it came from, the guy put his credit card down… Now, that’s a good Samaritan!”

The veterinary team needed to get the kitten’s body temperature up quickly! But the kitten didn’t even have a blink reflex…

Then Dr. Jeff instructed the team to get the kitten washed and cleaned up with some warm water. 

“Let’s see if there are any major injuries and see if he comes around.”

They gave him a little bath and he started to wake up! However, just a few seconds later, he started crashing…

Under Dr. Jeff’s guidance, the veterinary team worked tirelessly to revive Stanley. Bathed and warmed with gentle care, the fragile kitten showed glimpses of life. Although there were moments of instability, their unwavering determination began to pay off.

He was still in a critical condition, but it was improving slowly…

“The heartbeat is pretty good right now.”

Stanley’s heartbeat strengthened, his temperature normalized, and the real test came – feeding him. Remarkably, the once lifeless kitten started eating, signaling a hopeful recovery.

“He’s doing real good, we’ll just keep giving him the TLC, a little bit at a time. Not overfeeding, not over-hydrating, so we’re slowly bringing him back.”

About five hours after the kitten was brought to the rescue, Dwight, the construction worker who saved him and brought him to the clinic, came back…

“I’m here to check on the kitten that I dropped off earlier.”

“We’re very excited to have him. It’s gonna be a big change because it’s just me and the wife at the house, and now we’ll be three and he’ll be a nice addition.”

Dr. Jeff concluded their meeting by saying:

“I have no idea how he’s alive. I see they say cats have 9 lives, he used 7 of them.”
