Meet Park Ranger Gumnut! 🐱
This brave little kitten was found on Easter Day after using the very last of her energy to dart across the Square Rock Trail in Namadgi National Park. Cold, weak and barely able to move her back legs, she was scooped up by her rescuer, Chester, wrapped in a shirt for warmth, and carried back to safety.
With warmth, food, and care, Gumnut started to show signs of recovery much to everyone’s relief!
At her vet check last week, she charmed the whole team (and gave us a surprise by bringing along some harvest mite hitchhikers hiding in her ears – check out the video under the microscope).
We treated her ears, started her on parasite prevention, and made sure she was vaccinated to set her up for a healthy start.
Now around 11 weeks old, Gumnut has found her forever family and is ready for a lifetime of love, adventure, and cuddles.
Thank you to Chester () for sharing her incredible rescue story and for giving her a fighting chance and loving home.
