Humans Pour Acid On Cat’s Face, But He Still Loves And Trusts People

583

ADVERTISEMENT

Back in June, some human deliberately poured acid on this adorable cat’s head, causing him to lose his eye. Being an abandoned animal living in the high deserts of California, he just wanted some food, love, and affection. After spending days wandering in agony, one kind woman found the one-eyed cat on her porch and immediately took him to the vet. But his suffering didn’t end there…

Apparently, the vet didn’t know what he was doing. He just gave the stray cat some antibiotics, tested him for FIV+, and suggested they killed the kitties because of the severe acid burns. That’s when the kind woman contacted Milo’s Sanctuary, a non-profit specializing in giving a second chance at life for cats that have physical disabilities, are seniors, have a terminal illness, or have been abused and need someone to care for, love, and understand them. They named him ‘Sir Thomas Trueheart’ and rushed the cute cat to the vet, where he spent over a month on antibiotics, pain medications, and sugar bandages to help the chemical burn wound heal and granulate. He also had skin surgery.

‘Through it all, Tommy was so brave and purred and kissed the people taking care of him’, Milo’s Sanctuary wrote on their website. Although his friendliness almost cost him his life, he can’t help loving and trusting humans. Now Tommy is at Lifetime Care Foster, and you can sponsor him to support his healing journey.

    There truly are people in this world who hardly deserve to be called human. Fortunately, there are also people in this world who demonstrate the true meaning of being human.

    That's way more eloquent than the angry words swelling in my brain regarding what happened to this poor kitty.

    The person that did that to this poor cat deserves to die a very painful death. I hope this cat lives the rest of his life with a loving family that will erase any pain

    Ugh, I HATE these people. The penalty for animal cruelty really isn't high/hard enough to deter these a******s. It really should be an eye for an eye.

    What the hell is wrong with people, torturing innocent animals, making them go through something so horrible! I'm glad the little cat found a good place! But really, I hope the person or rather the monster who did this to that cat ends up in the worst cell possible, and that they throw away the key!

    1) pour acid on the ... thing... that did this to the kitty. Seriously, why do some people do things like this... 2) fire the incompetent vet for instantly giving up on the kitty.
