Health & care

Automatically translated (errors possible)

We initially named her Marina! Because on St. Marina's day, she may have seen light for the first time. Until then, she had only "seen" darkness. And not just literally. The darkness in the souls of most humanoids in this world who passed her by despite her strong cries for who knows how long... With eyes glued shut from a severe infection and blind, helpless, and separated from maternal care, thrown out by a two-legged "somewhere else for someone else to take care of," she could only let out a loud wail. A wail that no one had been moved by for hours... And then we heard her - I was visiting and we were in front of my friend's block. We followed the typical baby kitten cry and there, amidst weeds and trash, lay she - small, blind, defenseless... just meters from the street and inches from passing two-legs who could easily step on her...

I fast forward through the anger, failed plans, and questions of "what do we do, but no clinic is open now, but neither you nor I can take her..." and so on, emotionally exhausting thoughts... well, we didn't take a picture to post in hopes someone else would react (actually my friend tried unsuccessfully and if we relied on that, Marinka would already be a little star)... but we come back to the moment when none of us can take her in forever... we have more than enough :(

Well!!! We didn't pass her by... we saved her, found a place to take her (temporarily in a ground floor room for rent). Three weeks of persistent treatment followed - antibiotics, two types of drops every two hours, rinses and the little one can now see, only drops for the scars on her cornea remain, she has doubled her weight, and has become a playful and happy kitten seeking human attention... ♥️

BUT still no one has recognized her as "their" cat, and she is wonderful, smart, stoically enduring all the suffering, has perfect hygiene habits, and purrs with every touch.

P.S.: My mother, who had to take care of her in my absence, renamed her Neffi (because she was a little nephilim ♥️😂). She has passed three vet check-ups and is due for vaccination. I haven't introduced her to other cats, but overall she is a very calm cat that initially gets scared but quickly adapts to new people. 🙏
