Stray cats are seriously living harsh lives on the streets. Not only do they have to fend for themselves, but they’re also at huge risk of potential dangers every day.
With that being said, did you know that, according to The National Traffic Safety Administration, a staggering 5.4 million cats are hit by cars each year in America?
Even more heart-wrenching is the fact that a staggering 97% of these feline friends don’t make it after such accidents.
In this somber statistic, we bring you the story of a resilient cat who defied the odds. Luckily, she wasn’t among these 97%, however, she was severely injured in a hit-and-run accident, and her story broke many people’s hearts.
Accidents happen all the time; whether it’s our fault or a cat’s momentary lapse in caution, our response to these situations is crucial.
This courageous feline, who was named Isabelle Mira, was lucky to survive a hit-and-run accident, but not lucky enough to receive immediate help from the driver.
Fortunately, Isabelle was rescued in a nick of time by AWF Cats First. They shared the touching video of Isabelle on TikTok, but the fear and pain in her eyes broke hearts across the internet.
Isabelle’s survival was nothing short of a miracle, as she was rescued in the nick of time. But, sadly, her injuries were extensive. After a thorough examination, the vet affirmed Isabelle would need leg surgery.
Soon, she successfully underwent the surgery, but as soon as she recovered, she continued being a fearful and angry cat, and for a reason. Life wasn’t always kind to her, but now she got a second chance in life.
In the video, you can witness a starved, underweight black and white cat lying in her kennel, meowing at her rescuers with an angry look on her face.
The poor cat was understandably terrified, possibly in considerable pain, with no strength or will to eat.
AWF Cats First explained it all in the video’s caption, saying:
“Could you be this fierce if you were hit by a car, had your legs broken, and only weighed 800 grams? She’s right to be angry at people. We called her Isabelle Mira (for Miracle) as one of you beautiful people suggested. Let’s help this hit-and-run victim baby, she deserves a better life and a forever home.”
Isabelle’s video swiftly captured the hearts of TikTok viewers, amassing over 208,000 views and 67,000 likes.
What’s even more heartwarming is that this viral sensation transformed into a lifeline for Isabelle. Touched by her plight, compassionate users poured in donations to ensure she received the necessary surgery.
I hope from the bottom of my heart that Isabelle continued to recover and improve, and that she found a purrfect family who helped her restore faith in humanity!
