Rescuers took in the kitten, who was barely three weeks old, after she was found all alone in the street.
According to the charity, the tiny kitten approached a passer-by and rubbed against her legs, as if desperately begging for help...
A worrying condition
Fortunately, the kind passer-by didn't ignore her. She brought the kitten straight to the volunteers at Coeur d’Ain Félin. The little rescue turned out to be a female kitten who was still far too young to be away from her mother. Named Meskina by her rescuers, her health condition was deeply worrying.
The poor kitten was extremely underweight and suffering from severe cat flu that affected her breathing. Despite receiving care, she had very little appetite, so the veterinary team put her on a tailored treatment plan to encourage her to eat.
However, the team was shocked by what happened next. Meskina's first droppings contained pieces of cardboard and paper. Volunteers believe the starving kitten had tried to stave off her hunger by swallowing whatever she could find on the street...
A brave little fighter
Despite her alarming condition, Meskina keeps fighting on. The Coeur d’Ain Félin charity is doing everything it can to save her. However, the cost of her veterinary care is very high, so the rescuers are appealing to their community for support.
Every contribution helps them continue their mission to rescue animals in need. Anyone wishing to help can donate through their online fundraiser. We send our warmest wishes to this adorable kitten, hoping she grows strong and enjoys a warm, loving home of her own.
