Raggedy Ann is 14 years old cat that was rescued from a horrible hoarding situation located in Yuma, AZ. The cat was living in a mobile home with 40 other cats and 2 dogs, and when the rescuers found her, she weighted around 3 pounds and 15 ounces. The poor cat was skin and bones.
Saving One Life, the rescue group from Chandler, Arizona Saving One Life saw a photo of the poor cat on the social media and they were immediately on their feet to help. They decided to take the cat with them and nurse her back to health.
“Saving One Life stepped in to give this sweet girl a chance to find happiness. She has a long road ahead to recovery, but we are willing to fight as long as she has,” her rescuers wrote on Facebook.
In just 5 days after they took her, the cat gained 5 ounces. It didn’t take her long and she began to purr when getting pet. She received a lot of love in the foster care, and this little old lady learned to love again.
For the first two weeks she received subq fluids to ensure she was staying hydrated, and the rescuer gave her so much love and care so she started to feel better. She was slowly putting on weight and started to regain strength in her legs.
“Someone is slowly relaxing with snuggle time. She isn’t flinching as much when her foster mom gives her kisses on her head now. Still not a fan, but warming up slowly.” Raggedy Ann’s rescuers wrote on Facebook.
Ann soon started to socialize with the other foster cats, and in just 4 months, she tripled her weight and now she looks amazing!
It didn’t last long for rescuers to find her a new loving family.
“Today is an amazing day! Today our prayers have been answered. Ms. Raggedy Ann found her forever home. Her new mom drove over an hour and a half to meet her and chose to adopt without even getting to touch her.”
