I've spotted a cat near my apartment in July. She was thin, hungry and thirsty. I couldn't take her home because of parents, but I fed her for few weeks. Then she is gone. One night neighbours kicked her away from house and she ran away for a week.
She came back in very bad condition, so me and my brother took her to our balcony and locked from parents. We fed her, but she didn't want to eat.
Next day we took her to vet. Vet said she is old, like 15 years, and has a lot of parasites, killing her from inside. We bought a lot of medicines and gave it to cat. She hated us because she couldn't understand why we make her eat gross medicines. It was a two weeks of torture. She lost half of her weight and was completely depressed, just laying down whole day and wishing of death(look at photo)
We thought it can't be worse, ant gave her human medicine, very strong, but dangerous for pets and it worked! In hour she already started to eat food, drink water and move. In few days she already started to run across apartments (yeah, unexpected "surprise" for parents). Now she almost healthy, except broken teeth and bad eyes(that's because of her age).
Parents got use to her, and named her "Murka" as old Russian song. If only I could pin two photos, I would show you how amazing she transformed through months of good care, but in August we was sure that she is going to die. Now she is sleeping with my brother and love all my family, and family loves her.
