After a garage fire in Sudbury County, Ontario, Canada, firemen discovered a stray kitten last year. The five-week-old youngster was transported to the Walden Animal Hospital, where he was found with third-degree burns on his paws, head, and back.
Veterinarians went to his aid, treating his wounds and relieving his suffering. They meticulously cleaned out all of the soot, applied bandages, and stayed at the kitten’s side 24 hours a day.
Despite his ordeal, the kitten was delighted to have been saved and clung to the employees, begging for attention.
The striped cub, who was named Dobby , did not mind the sock-like bandages on his paws and steadfastly endured all medical procedures. The workers took turns hugging him, giving him the love he needed so badly.
Rob Maguire from Manitoulin Island came across Dobby’s story on social media. “Some of the first photos show pain in his eyes,” the man says. “Part of that is what got me hooked.”
When Rob arrived in Sudbury, he scheduled a visit to the hospital on his first day to get to know the little miracle. “We hit it off right away the day I met him. He had bandages all over him and all he wanted to do was play.”
The cat grabbed Rob’s arm and wouldn’t let go until it came time for him to depart.
“Dobby kept clinging to my arm, and I didn’t want to leave myself,” says Rob. We looked into each other’s eyes for a long time, and he melted my heart. I felt like I’ve known him all my life.”
Rob followed the kitten’s progress online and never stopped thinking about him. He knew that one day he would return for his little friend.
Dobby lost a couple toes during his rehabilitation, but it didn’t disturb him. He cheerfully sprang up and began rushing about the room, playing with toys as if nothing had occurred as soon as the bandages were removed.
“We were scared that he wouldn’t step on his paws owing to lingering discomfort and contracture,” the medical staff said, “but he swiftly dispelled our doubts.”
“He enjoys being a part of everything that goes on in the house.” He enjoys attention, play, and hugs. When I speak with him, he is really understanding.”
The striped youngster is a strong young man who knows how to take medicine. “All I have to do is deliver him the medicine, and he will take it right away.” For a cat, this is an uncommon characteristic.”
Our sturdy tin soldier is growing by leaps and bounds at the age of 10 months. He exudes joy and makes everyone around him smile.
“His survival is nothing short of a miracle.” “It’s as if he’s taken a step back from his ailments and decided to have a good time,” Rob explains.
“Another miracle is all of these lovely people: firefighters, municipal employees, and medical professionals who went above and beyond to assist the kitty. It’s great that there are folks like these in the world!
Rob describes Dobby as “a really joyful and good-natured youngster.”
“I adore him and want to make his life better.”
