Such a heartwarming story 😺

Felix the cat has experienced unbelievable cruelty from strangers – but he won’t let that stop his love for humans.

At the emergency vet appointment Kate saw a huge wound along Felix’s side that his fur had covered. His leg was put in a plaster cast. ‘He suspected a firework due to the extent of the injuries and where they were,’ says Kate. ‘The firework had shot backwards when it was lit and impaled Felix’s leg in two places which was why his leg was in plaster. Luckily it missed any major organs.

The cat’s injuries were severe, and vets weren’t sure if he would survive. Kate had to wait and see how the following week went, keeping an eye not just on Felix’s physical health but his mental state.After injury cats can become vicious and aggressive as a result of the trauma, so Kate worried he might not return to his old, friendly self.He had to wear a cone to make sure he didn’t lick his wound from surgery, and took 10 tablets a day to avoid infection.
