Anna is not even three years old, according to the vet, but she has already suffered so much, explained rescue charity Les Petites Pattounes in France in a Facebook post. For weeks, she managed to survive on the street, fed by a little girl who gave her her name.
Rescued during a severe storm
During a raging storm, the charity stepped in to rescue her. Anna was soaked to the skin, starving, toothless, wheezing heavily, and her belly was covered in matted fur. The team took her straight to a veterinary clinic for treatment, where the vet estimated she was under three years old.
Ready for a new start
Today, Anna is safe and sound. She will soon be ready for adoption, explained the charity, who hope she will finally experience the warmth, gentleness and love of a home that she has probably never known. To help support their work, a donation link was shared in the post. The charity concluded: "Enough suffering, Anna… Now it's time for happiness!"
What to do if you find a stray animal in distress
Here are a few sensible tips, inspired by the little girl's kindness:
- do not put yourself in danger, especially during bad weather;
- contact a local animal rescue organisation or your local council;
- have the animal examined by a vet, who can also check for a microchip.
