A cat who was severely burned in a fire made a miraculous recovery.
Back in 2023, a 7-month-old stray domestic shorthaired cat named Libby suffered severe burns in a fire in Downtown Phoenix, the Arizona Humane Society wrote in a press release.
The poor cat sustained burns on her paw pads, ears and nose, and reportedly had melted plastic all over her body and singed hair and whiskers.
She was transferred from a local emergency clinic to AHS’ trauma hospital, where she began her road to recovery. Libby received subcutaneous fluids, antibiotic and pain medications. Her wounds were treated and she was also observed for possible respiratory damage due to smoke inhalation.
After a month of treatment, she was placed in a foster home, and continued her healing process, receiving numerous medical procedures.
The update
There was a lot written about Libby after she was burned, but not as much about what happened afterward.
After months of recovery, Libby, 11 months old, healed up well enough that she could be placed up for adoption. And then, after exactly four months of intensive medical treatment, Libby’s journey took a heartwarming turn in July, 2023.
Then, the Arizona Humane Society announced that the cat had been adopted by a new, loving family.
Libby not only overcame incredible challenges but now thrives in a loving forever home. Her transformation is nothing short of remarkable, and we’re beyond thrilled to share her inspiring story.
We’re so glad Libby has made such an amazing recovery – share this story if you agree!
