As shocking as it may be, a woman in Alberta, Canada, never expected that one simple daily task of throwing trash would completely bring about an impactful change in her life. One day, she was taking out her trash as usual when she saw an uncanny movement inside a backpack from the corner of her eye sitting in the garbage can. Worried and concerned, she opened the backpack to check what was all that movement about and was extremely shocked to find a very weak and miserable feline.
This poor animal was gravely injured and desperately needed care and attention, so she quickly called Alberta Animal Services, who immediately rushed the cat to its facility. The vets quickly realized that the cat had been a survivor of severe abuse. Furthermore, an examination revealed that the cat had been suffocated, which led to him having neurological issues and blindness. Moreover, not only was he blind but had a broken pelvis and was suffering from starvation.
“The poor cat had severe head trauma, and no one was certain if he would make it,” Erica Coomber, director of operations for Alberta Animal Services. It was clearly uncertain if the cat would even make it. However, with the help of vets and their determination to save the cat, he began to regain his eye-sight. He proved to be a fighter and the strongest cat. We hope that with the right care, he can regain all his senses back and get completely healthy!
Hiro is a fighter, and he is not only a survivor but a ‘Hiro’ who does not need a cape. He defied all odds and stood back up on his paws. He showed that from getting found in a trash can to walking again, he is not going to back down. He is full of life and love despite his hard circumstances. Coomber told that despite the cruelty, he loves everyone and demands affection from the staff at the animal care center. A post on the AAS Facebook page said, “As soon [as he] hears or sees the animal nurses he starts purring and demands cuddles.” He was given the name ‘Hiro’ from a TV show called ‘Heroes’ because he proved to everyone that he is one and nothing can take his title away.
This story is not only inspiring but also shows how strong this little kitty was, he fought against all odds and proved to everyone that he deserved the title. Let us know what you think about Hiro’s rescue story in the comment section!
