❤️✨ The Paralyzed Mighty Cat Miracle Kitten Who Refused to Die on Molokai ✨❤️
🐾In the middle of the night on our small island of Molokai 🏝️, a local family rushed a 7 week old stray kitten to us. Little Richard 🐾🩵 weighed just 1.38 pounds and was completely paralyzed in his back legs. He had been dragging himself through mud and diarrhea for weeks. His body was covered in sores, and his bladder was dangerously full. It’s a miracle he survived this long, all alone in the wild. When we tried to express his bladder, he screamed in pain 💔
His p***s was blocked, infected, the skin was closed so he could not urinate, and without emergency surgery he would not survive.🥺
It was Saturday. No inter-island pet cargo flights. No local emergency surgical care. No options on Moloka’i other than a fatal outcome. 💔
But he kept fighting. Even in pain, he still reached for a toy and purrred..🐾😿
So we moved fast. 🙏 We flew him to Oahu ✈️, got him to 🏥
Our amazing board-certified surgeon, Dr. Lam, came in on his day off and performed his lifesaving surgery. We love you Dr Lam! He is such a miracle worker!! ⭐️ He later told us Little Richard would not have survived much longer and we got him to VCA in the knick of time 💛🙌
Without enough funds for such a big medical case, we reached out to our incredible partner for help. OKC approved his quickly and made his emergency surgery possible!🙌🩷 Thank you OKC for helping us save the most critical, most vulnerable lives. We are so grateful❤️ Today, Little Richard is back with us on Molokai 🏝️. His infection and diarrhea are gone, his bladder is stable, and he purrs, plays, and radiates joy 🩵
His back legs still don’t work, but he doesn’t let that stop him.💪
On a remote island 🏝️ with no emergency veterinary care, miracles don’t come easy. But this time, everything aligned. People showed up. Help arrived. Love won 🩷
He still has a long road ahead, but he is safe and loved in his foster home with his RKH ‘Ohana.🩷🏡
Welcome back, Little Richard. You are deeply loved 🐈⬛🐾💙💛
