This story is about a courageous woman who put her safety aside to save a life in need. When the woman saw a tiny kitten struggling in the ocean, she dove in and swam through the busy port to get to her. With waves crashing and swells building, the woman swam back with the little kitten in her arms. Once she was back on land, she handed the kitten to a man and he pulled the woman out of the water. The kitten’s life hung in the balance.
The kitten was soaked. She was cold and unresponsive. The woman devastated by her condition, resided to the fact she might not survive. Just when hope seemed lost, the kitten began to cry. Her little lungs were working! And now she had a fighting chance.
The kitten was rushed to Spetses Care For Animals. The vet treated the kitten and gave the woman medication to aid in the kitten’s recovery. The woman, named Coco, and her partner, Patrick, bonded with the kitten, Spetzy, whom they named. Since they were in Greece on vacation, they knew they couldn’t leave Spetzy behind once they left to go home.
The couple flew Spetzy back to their country. The kitty was such a good girl on the flight. She mostly slept, dreaming of her new beginning. Once back, the couple was hesitant to introduce their dogs to Spetzy. They had never interacted with a cat before.
They took things slow. Spetzy was placed in a bathroom with the dogs’ blankets to acquaint her with their scent. After a week, the kitty met her doggy siblings through a glass window. They didn’t interact just yet, but at least they all knew what to prepare for.
A tiny kitten was dyed pink, then bathed in Windex and rubbing alcohol, causing hypothermia and shock. This disturbing case highlights a trend where acts of animal cruelty may intersect with untreated mental health issues. Demand authorities implement mandatory mental health counseling for individuals convicted of animal abuse.
