Guy Finds An Abandoned Kitten Glued To An Object, Asks Help From Reddit Users, And Provides The Kitten A Forever Home Following The Journey To Recovery

Survival is a difficult game, especially for the smallest among us. Kittens, with their mewling cries and soft, delicate bodies, are particularly vulnerable. In a world fraught with dangers and a lack of understanding, some rather sad situations are bound to happen, unfortunately. People, including children, can be thoughtless in their interactions with these fragile creatures. The disconnect is troubling, a harsh reminder of how humanity can sometimes fail its furred, feathered, and scaled friends.

In this context, a recent story unfolded on the internet, where a Redditor by the handle “ikedness” happened upon a small kitten in quite the predicament. Unbelievably, some rather unkind kids had cruelly glued the kitten to some kind of object. At a loss for what to do, he turned to the wisdom of the Reddit community for guidance. In response, a user named “Com_Trad_IsTime” suggested an unexpected solution: coconut oil. It worked wonders! Freed from her sticky ordeal, the little female kitten earned a new name — Coco.

    This tiny furball, who barely tipped the scales at a pound despite appearing to be around two months old, began to show signs of respiratory distress

    A veterinary visit confirmed the worrying diagnosis — she tested positive for feline calicivirus (FCV), a common but potentially severe infection

    A range of medicines was prescribed for Coco, yet her breathing difficulties persisted. Another urgent visit to the vet was in order

    This time, she underwent a nebulizer treatment and had her nasal passages cleared

    Thankfully, these measures seemed to be successful, and soon enough, Coco was making her first purrs and learning how to clean herself, much to everyone’s relief

    In terms of medication, her owner clarified that Coco was down to just two: an immune booster and daily vitamins

    These would be her lifelong companions, a small but necessary price for ensuring our brave little Coco’s health and vitality

    Fascinated by music, movies and sitcoms, I'm passionate about social media and can't live without the internet, especially for all the cute dog and cat pictures out there. I wish the day had about 40 hours to be able to do everything I want.

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

    Who the f**k is raising children who would do this to a living breathing animal? They need to be arrested and prosecuted for animal abuse, I don't give a F how old they are. I'm so disgusted I can't even think straight.

    Everytime I read stories like this, I remind myself that for every one person willing to hurt an animal, there are ten more people willing to save it.
