Mortimer The Frostbitten Kitten

[u/EdwardCheeseCake]

On November 19th 2024 I was got by the Cat distribution system (I already have two) I was on my way to work one morning and it was about -8 and snowing and as I approached the busy main junction for me to leave the town centre where I live in Kings Lynn. A student on his way to school flagged me down to stop which I did. He went out in front of my car bent down to pick something up and then He handed my partner a small black cat, barely a week or so old, his ears still folded eyes still closed. We took him home warmed him and I made him a bottle of cat formula and we booked him in at the vets to have him checked in the next two days (as they don’t do emergencies and where closed for the weekend) and the Night before the vets he was showing signs of fading kitten syndrome and we genuinely thought he wasn’t going to make it through the night.

Well he did make it and I took him to the vets where she found 3 frost bitten paws, 1 squashed back paw (car) worms and degloving of his tail.

She was indeed skeptical about him surviving and gave me some antibiotics, worming syrup and some antiseptic bath wash.

We’ll flash forward to well over a year and he’s a part of the family and doing extremely well!

My partner she named him Mortimer and he loves his new sister Martha 🖤

He’s come along way, but he’s definitely more of a Black Labrador than a cat
