Warrior was rescued from a factory and was badly injured when he was brought in. He had been caught in one of the forklift trucks, so we needed to rush him to the vet immediately. The wounds covered most of his body, so we bandaged him up and put him on heavy antibiotics, but it seemed like a hopeless situation. Warrior, however, had no intention of giving up.
Over the weeks that followed, he fought with fierce determination. He was bandaged twice a day, hand-fed and was kept on medication for 3 weeks. Warrior seemed to gain super-kitten strength when we introduced him to another kitten, Butterfly, who became his best friend. These two played together as Warrior continued to get stronger, and after about 4 months Warrior was fully recovered.
What a perfect name for him and a lovely story. I have two rescue kittens - Stevie Mouse that I rescued at four weeks old, I found her blind and drowning in a puddle and she is now my angel at just over a year old. Her sister Emmy I found at eight weeks old disabled from an epileptic fit. We now have her epilepsy under control though she has some brain damage and Stevie Mouse looks after her. I am writing a book about Stevie called 'I am Stevie Mouse'. I have had lots of cats but some really get you - a bit like Warrior I guess.
Well done warrior; a true fighter and a real looker.
