When helpless kittens narrowly survive harsh conditions and hazardous situations, it feels like something is right in the world. We were absolutely stunned by this biker's exhilarating save and a fireman's perilous rescue.
In this kitten's situation, miraculous doesn't do his rescue justice.
After nine weeks of surviving on his own after his birth, he is in good, loving hands.
Now named Cassidy, this little guy was born to a feral mother. When he was found, he was starving and on the brink of death.
But his most tragic injury was the loss of his back legs shortly after his birth. While the reason is unknown, Cassidy was fighting an E. coli infection in both stumps.
When he was rescued, he wasn't expected to survive. But this little guy had a fighter in him and made a miraculous recovery over the course of a month. Dubbed "Miracle Kitten," his rescuers marveled at his progress — and now, we are, too!
TinyKittens, the organization that rescued Cassidy, compiled all of the key moments in his recovery into a short video. We can see him grow from a sick, feral kitten to a healthy and strong cutie! Along the way, he was taught how to walk first using a 3D-printed wheelchair, then on his stumps with the help of one of his rescuers.
Now, Cassidy is a kitten who has been given a new life. You can even watch him all day on TinyKittens's live feed!
We love uplifting stories like these, and we love seeing these tiny creatures thriving and enjoying life!
