An amazing story of resilience: a cat who was badly burned in a fire has made a full recovery and is now hoping to find a loving home.
Back in April, a stray domestic shorthaired cat named Libby, then just 7 months old, suffered severe burns during a fire in Downtown Phoenix. This information comes from a press release by the Arizona Humane Society.
Libby had burns on her paw pads, ears, and nose. Melted plastic was reportedly stuck to her fur, and her hair and whiskers were singed. She was first treated at a local emergency clinic and then moved to the Arizona Humane Society’s trauma hospital to begin her healing journey. There, she received fluids under the skin, antibiotics, and pain relief medication. Her burns were cared for, and she was monitored for any lung damage from smoke inhalation.
After a month of intensive care, Libby was placed in a foster home to continue her recovery and underwent several medical procedures.
Now, months later and at 11 months old, Libby has healed enough to be put up for adoption. She is eagerly waiting to find her forever family.
Libby is currently available at the Arizona Humane Society’s South Mountain Campus. If you’re interested in adopting her, you can visit their adoption website. Thanks to an “Empty the Shelters Adoption Event” sponsored by the BISSELL Pet Foundation, all adoption fees at AHS are just $20 through the end of the month. We’re so glad Libby has made such an amazing recovery and hope she finds her forever home soon! Thank you to everyone who cared for her!
