In a heart-warming coincidence, a malnourished kitten on the brink of death, was discovered by two backpackers in Clermont late last week.
Weak and fragile, the kitten was taken in by the compassionate couple who took care of her to the best of their ability. After a week of dedicated attention, they soon realised that they couldn't provide her with the ongoing care she needed, thus, they reached out to Mackay Pet rescue Inc and ultimately surrendered her.
Late Saturday afternoon, ‘Little Lou’ arrived at the rescue shelter, with a hope for new life thanks to the kindness of the backpackers. Despite her rough start, the carers at Mackay Pet Rescue Inc have witnessed the sweetness and joy that has come from Lou since she has been given a second chance at life.
As they work to provide her with the necessary veterinary care, the team have been overwhelmed with gratitude for the caring individuals who stepped up to help her in a time of need.
As Lou prepares for her vet work and awaits her forever home, the team is hopeful that there's a family out there ready to embrace her boundless affection and playful spirit.
If you're able to open your heart and home to Lou, please reach out to Zanika at 0431 433 928. Or if you're unable to adopt but would like to contribute to Lou's care, your donation would be greatly appreciated via Mackay Pet Rescue Incorporated online.
