A sick, weak cat knocks on the window of the house to be adopted
In an extraordinary display of intuition, a frail and shivering feline sought out help in an almost human-like manner. Amidst the icy grip of a wintry day, the cat approached a residential window and tapped gently, as if politely requesting sanctuary.
Startled by an unusual tapping sound, homeowner Jaelle peered into her garden to discover an orange feline pleading for attention.
Without delay, Jaelle reached out to Marie Simard, the dedicated creator of Un Chant à la Fois, an animal refuge established within proximity of her residence in Quebec, Canada.
“The sight of the kitten’s distress was heart-wrenching. I immediately arranged for his transport to the veterinary hospital. Within a mere half hour, the cat was receiving care,” recounted Jaelle.
Once at the clinic, the feline underwent radiography and bloodwork. The poor creature suffered from dental issues, was riddled with fleas and worms, struggled with diabetes, and had a skin allergy, not to mention wounds from the cold.
A multiday stay at the clinic was deemed necessary for the cat’s recovery.
“We initially presumed he had wandered away from home. The absence of a microchip suggested he was either forsaken or his previous keepers could not afford his medical care,” Marie offered insight. In due course, they christened the cat Aslan, and Jaelle welcomed him into her home on a provisional basis.
“After the necessary surgery and treatment, the vet confirmed that Aslan’s chances of surviving the winter on his own were slim,” relayed the one who gave him a second chance at life.
Fortunately, Aslan’s health began to turn the corner after several days. This prompted Marie to start searching for a permanent home for him.
Yet, it was Jaelle who chose to become Aslan’s permanent guardian. Despite his diabetes requiring a special diet, Aslan can now bask in the joy of a loving home. It’s as if destiny had clumsily arranged for their paths to cross, and now their bond is unbreakable.
