After he was injured, his owner abandoned him, leaving him to pull his body along the hot pavement, scraping against the rough surface. Most people who saw him felt bad but couldn’t do much, so they left.
A Cry That Stopped Them
When he saw them, he began meowing as if begging for help, and they gave him some food. Noticing his enlarged belly, they weren’t sure if he had an internal injury.
Just as they were taking him away, an old lady stopped by, saying it was only a cat, and revealed he had been abandoned, though she wouldn’t say by whom.
The Hidden Truth at the Vet
They rushed the kitten to the vet, where an x-ray revealed he had been holding in all his pee because a spinal injury made him unable to release it. The vets had to squeeze the pee out manually and advised them to give him regular massages, as there was still a chance he could regain feeling in his hind legs.
That was all the man needed to hear. He took the kitten home and began daily treatments.
