Due to a strong storm that broke out suddenly and lasted several minutes, a kitten named Ginger Biscuit ended up being dragged into a storm drain, where his life was in danger if he was not rescued in time.
This kitten, a beautiful orange color, looked like he was only a few weeks old, he was alone and scared, but luckily he was found by a person who took him out of that ditch and took him to a safer place: the Greenside Animal Hospital.
At first glance he didn’t look like he was injured, but he did look exhausted and hungry. Veterinarians estimated that he was around 8 to 10 weeks old, so it was essential that they give him basic care, such as a warm bed to rest in and food.
So they decided to take him to the isolation room, a place where they accommodate animals that simply need to recover from an injury and to do so they
place them in large, comfortable cages with blankets and food.
The kitten, whom they called Ginger here, was a little distrustful of humans and didn’t seem to feel completely comfortable in that place. At least, for the first few days. Since then everything would change.
The veterinarians who cared for him described him as a kitten with some shyness, but with a lot of sweetness. They didn’t doubt that he simply lacked a little love and trust to relax. And indeed it was.
The veterinarians, Viljoen and Greube, were convinced that in a few weeks the kitten would be strong, since he was happy when they brought him food, and being so young, he would surely begin to show his curiosity and his fun side in a short time.
On the other hand, and in the same isolation room, there was also a dog named Anne, who was found abandoned in a sports club. When she arrived at Greenside Animal Hospital, she looked weak, covered in ticks and fleas. Like her Ginger, she needed a few weeks to recover.
Precisely, the cat and the dog shared the same isolation room, although with their cages at two opposite ends. However, it would be a big surprise for the staff at this animal hospital to walk into the room and not find the kitten. They looked everywhere and it wasn’t there. Until they finally found him in Anne’s cage.
Ginger wasn’t in any danger, she was simply curled up on Anne’s body, resting, while the dog did the same. Although the staff knew they wouldn’t have any problems because Anne was very peaceful, they still, as a precaution, took Ginger back to her cage.
In the following days the same thing happened again: during the night Ginger crossed her cage and went to snuggle with Anne. Seeing that they got along very well, they decided to leave both animals in the same cage. And it seems that they were not wrong, since they are great friends, they support each other, they give each other energy to recover and it will not be long until they are adopted and start a new life.
