Sarah Richardson, a member of Community Cats from Central Arkansas, was informed by fellow rescuers about a troubling incident. According to the report, a shelter in Eastern Arkansas was about to shut down due to suspicion of animal cruelty and neglect. In response, a team of local rescues collaborated to save hundreds of animals from this facility. Since most of the cats were left stranded with no one to care for them, Sarah was asked to take responsibility for them at an unusually short notice. However, upon reaching the shelter, Sarah was shocked by what she saw.
An Unexpected Revelation As Sarah approached the area, she was startled by the sight of numerous cats and dogs wandering around. The remaining ones were crammed together in tight kennels. Among them was Mike, a blind tabby without any eyes, who was also discovered by Sarah. Mike had barely escaped from a loose dog who tried to attack him while he was wandering. Although he was relocated to the cat room within the shelter, he remained unsafe and vulnerable.
The state of the cat room was beyond belief – it was in shambles with gaping holes all around – on the walls, ceiling, and even the roof. Cats were frantically seeking refuge in every available space, clinging onto dear life. The only way they could manage to find something to eat or drink was by braving the dangers that lay outside their kennels amidst the dogs. A sense of utter neglect emanated from the shelter administration which had left these helpless animals to fend for themselves. Mike, who was blind, was in an even worse situation and his survival was doubtful under such appalling conditions.
In an effort to rescue over 100 cats from a shelter, Sarah planned to make multiple trips. However, she felt that Mike, one of the cats, couldn’t wait any longer and decided to bring him home immediately. Although getting him home was only half the battle, as he suffered from various health concerns including an upper respiratory infection, severe diarrhea, and trouble breathing. Despite his suffering, Mike remained loving and trusting towards his rescuers, showing how much he appreciated their efforts. According to Sarah, Mike was the sweetest cat anyone could dream of, craving nothing more than love and care from his new family. It seemed as though Mike knew he’d been saved and wanted to express his gratitude to Sarah.
On the Path to Healing Mike, an exceptional cat with special needs, displayed remarkable intelligence and adaptability. Despite his limitations, he strived to navigate his foster home using his heightened senses of smell and sound. Sarah noticed that Mike was extra careful, possibly because he couldn’t afford to make any mistakes based on his previous living conditions. However, with the help of fluids, antibiotics, and parasite treatment, Mike started to regain his strength, taking all his medications without complaints. Gradually, his charisma surfaced, and Sarah couldn’t wait to share his progress with the world through social media updates. As an unexpected bonus, Sarah received a heartwarming message from someone touched by Mike’s journey.
Sarah shared a heartwarming story about a blind cat named Mike who was missing both of his eyes. He was fortunate enough to find a foster family who not only took care of him but also volunteered to adopt him if everything went well. After a month of receiving diligent care, his health had improved considerably, and he was ready to move to his new family’s home. Mike settled in quickly and made himself right at home. According to Sarah, he is living happily with his new family and will never have to worry about being attacked or abandoned outside ever again.
Mike, a senior cat who was rescued and rehabilitated by Sarah Richardson in Arkansas, has developed a peculiar health condition while residing at the shelter. The shelter where Mike lived was infested with vermin that were larger than the resident feline creatures themselves, making it an unsanitary environment. Unfortunately, veterinarians have been unable to diagnose Mike’s ailment, despite conducting several tests. According to Sarah, specialists are due to examine Mike soon to determine the bacteria responsible for his illness. Sarah is among the few rescuers in Arkansas who take care of senior cats, hospice cats, and injured cats in critical condition.
