She was on a walk and then everything changed …
A woman named Savannah was on her morning walk in Southern California when something happened that changed her life forever. A tiny, skinny skeleton of a kitten emerged from a bush and sat there in the grass at Savannah’s feet. She had no idea where the kitten had come from, but she immediately knew she couldn’t leave her behind.
“The cat distribution system found me on my morning walk,” Savannah wrote on TikTok.
The kitten, later named Gizmo, was struggling, so Savannah scooped her up and took her to the vet. Poor Gizmo had an eye infection and worms, and was extremely malnourished. She was missing a lot of her fur, and all of her bones were showing. She truly looked like some sort of Halloween decoration.
Savannah took Gizmo home and got her settled in a cat bed in the bathtub. She was so tiny, and it was hard to imagine that she was going to be OK.
Gizmo proved to be resilient, though, and now her life looks totally different.
“Never thought I’d find my little soul kitty in a bush, but here we are,” Savannah said.
It’s been a year since Savannah found Gizmo, and all of her fur has grown back. She’s a sleek black cat, who looks nothing like the little skeleton who was found in the bushes. She’s a happy, loved member of Savannah’s family, and the pair can’t believe so much time has passed since the day that changed everything.
“She’s now a healthy, crazy little kitten,” Savannah said.
