One day, a wandering feline wandered into a residential area in Lakewood, California and quickly found a friend in a compassionate individual who showed her kindness.
Friends for Life Rescue Network was founded when Noemi Camacho found a stray cat near her home and decided to help. After realizing the cat was pregnant, Noemi welcomed the feline into her home and soon after, the cat gave birth to four kittens. Unfortunately, two of the kittens had unique challenges – one had a twisted leg and the other had only three limbs.
Recognizing that this little family needed more assistance than she could offer alone, Noemi reached out to her community for support.
Jacqueline DeAmor, one of the founders of Friends for Life Rescue Network, saw a desperate plea for help and wasted no time in stepping in. When a friend was asked to find a rescue, Jacqueline happened to come across the post on Facebook and immediately knew she had to help.
The mother cat, now named Nymeria, was initially hesitant and anxious when she arrived at Friends for Life Rescue Network. She closely observed as her kittens were examined by the rescuers, showing a fierce protective nature. Jacqueline explained, “She keeps a close eye on me when I handle her babies and quickly takes them back once I’m finished weighing them.”
Troy, the kitten with a bent leg, received care from Jacqueline at Friends for Life Rescue Network. She introduced physical therapy to help lengthen and loosen his tight tendons. With daily massages and stretches, Troy’s leg showed signs of improvement in just a few days under the watchful eye of his foster mom.
Joining the Friends for Life Rescue Network, Jacquline shared her expertise in massaging to help rehabilitate injured animals. She explained that by gently massaging, she could gradually realign the leg and toes, and relax the muscles. Her aim was to massage several times a day to recondition the tendons to maintain proper alignment. Check out their heartwarming journey in the video below:
A stray cat has found a kind soul to assist her and her little ones. In a heartwarming video clip, you can see the three-legged wonder named Gunther getting around the nursery pen just like his siblings. Despite his missing limb, he doesn’t let it stop him from exploring and having fun. The internet is abuzz with admiration for this resilient feline and the person who is caring for them.
Gunther, the kitty with three legs, is the pride and joy of his cat mom. She watches over her kittens with so much love and joy as they nap in the cozy foster home provided by Friends for Life Rescue Network.
“Her love for her kittens is evident in everything she does. I used to have to bring her food in her nursing box because she wouldn’t leave their side, but now she purrs and rubs against my legs as soon as I enter the room. She absolutely adores chin scratches,” Jacqueline shared with Love Meow.
The loving support of the Friends for Life Rescue Network ensured that she returned to the compassionate individual who cared for her, receiving assistance just in the nick of time. As a result, her kittens were born in a secure environment indoors, rather than out in the cold and dangerous alleyway.
Friends for Life Rescue Network is happy to report that the small, fluffy creatures are growing and doing well!
