It’s not uncommon for stories about abandoned animals to seem like fairytales. They are abandoned and mistreated and are put out onto the streets, where they must live in appalling conditions.
However, one day, good individuals come across them and adopt them, and these cats completely metamorphose and flourish. That’s the story of Dinah, a stray cat that was previously abandoned on the street but now has a loving home. Scroll down to read Bored Panda’s chat with Rebecca, Dinah’s owner!
This cat was spotted laying on the street
Molly Sotak, a girl, first observed Dinah, who was in horrible condition, in July. Molly followed her for a few days and found she was very sick and needed to see a veterinarian. “She was as though she were skin and bones.” Molly told, “I suppose I was keeping an eye on her for maybe four or five days before I was able to grab her.”
The Stray Cat Alliance decided to look after the kitten when a girl contacted them.
The cat had a lot of health problems.
“Well, it’s fleas and flea filth on her face!” Fleas had infected her entire body. She is malnourished, dehydrated, and suffering from a serious upper respiratory infection as well as painful sores on her tongue, all of which are calicivirus-related. It’s no surprise she can’t eat because of her congestion and ulcers. Dinah is currently receiving flea medication, antibiotics, and IV fluids, according to the Stray Cat Alliance on Instagram.
But she recovered fast and found a loving home.
They took care of everything, even getting Dinah a medical check-up. What was once a stray cat became a gorgeous, powerful, and healthy feline in no time. She even found a great home and a loving family. Dinah’s new owner, Rebecca Schneider, saw that she had been through a lot.
“Our 14-year-old cat got a cardiac issue and unfortunately died.” We felt it was time to give a new feline a loving home after we grieved for her. We went to a few shelters, all of which had gorgeous cats, but we were hoping for an instant connection.
“She seemed very interested in us (my husband and I) but she was terribly shy and unsure. We didn’t know much about her history, just that she was a stray kitten that had been rescued by the shelter and that she had spent some time in a foster home. But ultimately, she ended up back in the shelter’s care,” Rebecca remembers her first reaction when she saw Dinah.
Rebecca took in the kitten and gave her a fresh start. Dinah is now a fearless and self-assured cat who enjoys playing and making her family happy. “She’s a fluffy little clown who never fails to make us giggle.” She enjoys playing and following us around the home.
She enjoys ‘assisting’ with household duties such as making the bed and filling the dishwasher. She enjoys watching TV with us and wants to be a part of everything that is going on.”
