Monster Stuffed This Cat In A Bird Cage For Almost All Her Life, Now She Lives Free!

Animal abuse runs rampant, no matter where you go. There are always some people who are going to continue seeing animals as being beneath us and undeserving of the same freedoms and attention that humans want. Seeing animals suffer in such a way can break your heart.

That was the case for Holly Peppermint the tabby cat. She was forced to live outside in a bird cage, infested with fleas, and covered up so that she could be ignored by those that kept her. Food and water were being provided, but all this feline wanted was a little love.

When Furry Nation Salvation in Florida received a tip about a cat being kept in a birdcage, they didn’t hesitate to jump to the cat’s rescue. The conditions the cat was living in was deplorable, and her state was even worse.

She was missing patches of fur due to scratching at the fleas, as well as suffering from both skin and bladder infections that required antibiotics.


This poor feline couldn’t even walk long distances without having to sit down for a breather. She wasn’t allowed to roam about like any normal cat would do, resulting in atrophied muscles.

But with a little human contact and medical attention, the cat was soon purring up a storm that warmed every heart in the room.

Once healthy, Holly Peppermint went home with her forever family, an elderly couple, and even has a ten-year old sibling to play and cuddle with throughout the day 🙂 Share away, people.

“I’m Not Leaving You, Mama!” This is What Love Looks Like.

UPDATE: Lizzie and Phantom are currently recovering in an outdoor koala ward within the  Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital . They’re doing swimmingly; Phantom is both gaining weight and exploring his temporary habitat. And of course, mama and baby are sharing more adorable cuddles! For most species in the animal kingdom, the bond between mother and baby is incredibly strong. That's pretty much inarguable. But last week, two koalas in Australia further proved it. After they were hit by a car, Lizzie and her joey, Phantom were welcomed into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Six-month-old Phantom had escaped the accident unscathed. Lizzie, however, wasn’t looking so good, what with facial trauma and a collapsed lung. In order to survive, she needed to go under the surgeon’s knife. But this marsupial mama wasn’t alone during the life-saving procedure. Phantom accompanied her and clung to her as she received treatment. The vets let them be; Phantom was too y...

The Sound Of This Baby Rhino Wailing After Its Mother Was Killed By Poachers Will Haunt You

It’s one of the most sorrowful sounds you’ll ever hear, but it’s also a sad reality check for anyone who thinks protected species are safe from illegal poaching. In a video released this in July, a baby rhino named Davi cries for his mother after she was shot and killed by poachers. Most rhinos spend at least three years with their mothers before weaning,  the Dodo  reports, but Davi’s childhood was cut short at just 8 months old. The baby rhino stood close by his mother’s lifeless body until rescuers arrived. They fitted her with earplugs and a blindfold to calm his anxiety on the way to The Rhino Orphanage in South Africa. Source: YouTube/Terrence Daniels Davi huddles close to his mother’s dead body. It was there that Davi spent the night crying. “His calls for mom echoed deeply and urgently throughout the night, but two carers have been with him every step of the way,”  caretakers posted . “At least he is in good physical condition [and] has no injuries...
