This is the heartwarming and incredible tale of Keanu, a cat that was saved from a Belleville, New Jersey, apartment building. A forceful kick from one of the complex’s maintenance staff caused the unfortunate kitten’s jaw to break. Fortunately, though, he was saved by some animal rescuers who gave him a second shot at life.
According to the rescuers, the complex had many stray cats around, but the new management company didn’t want them and always found ways to chase them away. And suddenly, the poor cats and kittens started to disappear. Some of them were poisoned, injured, and others trapped in crawl spaces and illegal leg hold traps.
Because of his intelligence, Keanu was able to escape from the trap. Because of this, when the rescuers arrived to save him, he was interested in them and just glanced at the trap.
He was obviously terrified of people after receiving a pretty violent kick to the face and several times being confined.
“I was able to trap him after a few days. He was taken to the vet who confirmed his jaw is fractured, he also had teeth knocked out, but surprisingly it doesn’t interfere with his eating or drinking.
The vet decided since he is a kitten his jaw should be left to mend naturally and they will closely monitor him. He is thriving,” one of the rescuers said.
He was given the name Keanu Reeves by the animal-lover actor’s rescuers. He was fortunate to receive an 11th-hour rescue and find his everlasting home. Everyone is overjoyed to learn that the kitten has a new home and adoring parents. Life is kind to Keanu, and he certainly makes the most of it.

We think the scumbags involved in harming the precious cats should be arrested and put in jail plus given a major fine. What do you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
