Frightened and alone in the busy streets of Seattle, 6 weeks old kitten was waiting for someone to rescue him, just like many other cats that face such a harsh destiny.
Simba, an adorable Bengal kitten, was abandoned in a cardboard box in the middle of one of the busiest streets in Seattle.
Thankfully, his luck turned around when kind-hearted people noticed him and refused to ignore him. They informed the Tacoma Humane Society, who immediately came to help the little guy out.
Once they brought little Simba to their shelter, they quickly realized why the poor thing was abandoned in the first place.
Most probably, he was thrown out by his breeder, who figured he wouldn’t earn anything from selling Simba.
The poor thing was suffering from a very rare condition called Bilateral perineal hernia, which meant Simba couldn’t defecate on his own.
Luckily, his true savior arrived just in time. Cindy is a compassionate woman who cares for special needs cats and kittens and works closely with the shelter.
As soon as she learned Simba’s story, she decided to foster him and embark on his recovery journey together.
However, Simba’s condition was so severe that he needed urgent surgery. With the help of kind people, Cindy managed to raise donations and Simba was able to get his life-saving surgery.
However, his suffering wasn’t over…
After the surgery, Simba’s skin became so red and irritated that it caused him visible discomfort. Despite all that, he was still fighting like a champ with his foster mom right next to his side.
Simba’s surgery didn’t solve his condition for good, he still needs Cindy’s care and attention daily.
Naturally, it was hard for Cindy to give him up for adoption, so Simba became what I like to call a ‘foster fail’.
Unable to turn a blind eye to him, Cindy officially adopted him and he gained a forever mom alongside a cat brother!
Now, Simba enjoys his new life to the maximum and spends his days playing with his brother Keanu or cuddling with Cindy.
Simba’s recovery journey is far from over, as he needs constant medical care and attention, but this doesn’t stop him from being a happy cat.
His mom documents Simba’s journey over on Facebook, where she updates everyone on his current state. Make sure to give them a follow!
I’m so grateful Simba ended up in the right home, where he has the chance to lead a normal life!
