CiceroGood Karma Pet RescueAbout two months ago, a Good Samaritan spotted an orange cat lying in the middle of the street and rushed to save him.His fur was patchy from mange, and his nose was badly congested from a severe upper respiratory infection. Too frail, the cat was in desperate need of help. The finder immediately contacted Good Karma Pet Rescue, hoping they could take him in."Our rescue was full with over 200 kitties in our care, but we just couldn't turn him away," Good Karma Pet Rescue shared. Good Karma Pet RescueThe cat, named Cicero, was in rough condition. A thorough exam revealed multiple injuries, and for a moment, the rescue team wasn't sure he would survive. "Then he started purring and making biscuits in the bed.""That small, hopeful act told us everything we needed to know: he wasn't ready to give up." And neither were they. Good Karma Pet RescueCicero's foster mom began hand-feeding him around the clock, ensuring he received every calorie his body needed. When she had to leave for work, the rescue's office manager and vet techs stepped in, continuing his feedings and surrounding him with comfort and affection."He had a village, and they were holding him up."
