A woman from Texas got more than she bargained for one day when she heard a commotion under a parked car and found a kitten in distress. But the woman calmly reacted and got the kitten aid. You won’t believe what happened.

Clarissa was walking beside a parking lot when she noticed a group of people crowding next to a car.  The Texas woman was floored when she looked under the car and saw a six-week-old injured stray kitten. The poor little white cat had one ear dangling by a thread. She was very badly injured. Clarissa knew she had to do something.

Clarissa and her boyfriend quickly formed a plan. First, they brought her some water and food to try to coax the scared kitten out. Their next step was to call on the help of their two neighbors, who were miraculously both vet techs. The neighbors knew just what do do.

The four people worked to coax the cat out from under the vehicle. Finally, she came out safely. She was wrapped in a towel and made an emergency trip to an animal hospital. It was clear that if she didn’t get there in time, the little kitty may not make it alive.

13. Surgery

“It was understood by everyone that the ear had to be removed,” Clarissa said. “Before leaving, they asked if we’d be interested in keeping her if she survived the surgery, and we said yes!” By that time, Clarissa was invested in the kitten. She even gave the kitten a name – Vespurr.

Thankfully, Vespurr made it through surgery and was officially adopted by Clarissa. However, the road to health was much harder than it would appear. The recovery was rough. “Five days later, she stopped eating and playing, so we knew something was wrong. We took her back to the vet.”

11. Diseases

Vespurr was tested at the vet and she turned up positive for both coccidia (parasites) and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV). FeLV is a disease that impairs the cat’s immune system. She would never have survived had she coped with the disease on her own in the wild. But Vespurr’s problems weren’t over.

10. Motor Skills

After the kitten returned from the vet, her new family noticed that she started losing some motor skills. She had some neurological problems from losing the ear. It caused her to have a wobbly gait and to be off-balance.

Like Vincent Van Gogh, Vespurr has only one ear, but she is a work of art. Clarissa decided she needed to learn to paint to be able to capture the fun cat’s profile. Someone else drew the outline and then Clarissa filled in the colors. She captured the cat’s essence perfectly.
