Neighbors Extinguishing Backyard Fire Suddenly Hear Cries For Help, And Here’s What They Find (Graphic Content)
A fire recently broke out in someone’s backyard, and luckily, the neighbors were there to quickly extinguish it. Just when they thought there were no victims, however, they saw a tiny paw reaching for help under the pieces of wood. There it was – a tiny kitten who got badly burnt in the fire.
The poor thing was rushed to the local RSPCA, where they named her Phoenix and started treating her wounds. “When Phoenix arrived she was in a really sorry state,” Luka Atkinson, reception supervisor at RSPCA Felledge, said in a press release.
“She was just 6 weeks old back then, and to see such a tiny kitten that way was really hard for us. The skin on all four of her pads was burnt off and the fur on her face, tummy and legs was singed — she was lucky to be alive.”
Sadly, later it turned out that Phoenix’s wounds were even deeper than originally thought. Still, with plenty of painkillers, love, and TLC, the cat who was dubbed ‘the luckiest kitten in Britain’ is slowly recovering. The fur on her eyelids is still yet to grow, but it’s only a question of time.
“She is such a happy little thing and she eats, plays and loves fuss just like any other kitten, and we hope people won’t be scared by her appearance while she heals,” Atkinson said.

Poor baby! Her wounded eyelids give her a surprised look. I hope she finds someone to look after her full-time before she is even healed. She's lucky she survived!

Seeing anyone rescued and saved after horrific burns gives me mixed feelings. Burn scars can cause horrific pain for a lifetime, and in the case of a non-human animal, how would you know?

Some pictures it looks as if she does have healed eyelids so it's confusing.

I might be cruel and twisted, but she looks weirdly cute without fur on her eyelids. I think it just makes her expressions more vibrant. She's super cute otherwise as well, I'd adopt her if i didn't live in the US.

I want her to live with me. Cuddle with me in bed. Sit in my lap while I'm working. Playfully bat at my loose strings.

What a beautiful little kitten! Heartfelt thanks to those who found her and took her to the vet and to those who treated her and looked after her with much TLC. She is a courageous, amazingly little cat and very aptly named!
