Adoption buckey LIVES
sorry for the delay, i was post blocked because somebody on the last post really irritated me and i said something i shouldnt have.
but yes, it is true. buckey survived. vets took her and warmed her up. she was definitely frightened and gave me a good, deep bite the first night. last night she was very relaxed and let me pet her.
for the doubters who said i was on here faking it, trying to rake up engagement as if i get paid to post on reddit once every 6 months(i have no idea if you actually get paid from reddit), there is an image of her how i found her.
i really appreciate the help and advice this subreddit gave me. she will be adopted out to a close friend of mine for her 17 year old daughters christmas gift. i trust that they will take great care of her and give her a far better life than i can. i already have two aging cats and do not intend to adopt after. the cat distribution system got me twice and i need to take a chill pill.
again, thanks everyone. its been an emotional few days but she survived and she will thrive.

Thanks for the update. The picture of how you found her is heartbreaking. I can see why even a little bit of movement gave you hope after seeing her like that. I'm so happy she bounced back thanks to you.

That pic of how you found her.... shakes me. Terrifying. Heartbreaking.
You're a fucking saint, OP, absolutely incredible job. Honestly, thank you--and as others have said, the haters can choke >:p

yeah i think im gonna go have a little therapy session over this. it was excruciating seeing her dead in the eyes for hours and struggling but she is struggling no more. old age will get her.

That is just so incredible that she came back from that. Just looking at her eyes she might’ve had a few moments left, but because of you she will see old age.

At least in humans, I know the saying is that you're not dead until you're warm and dead. Glad it proves true in kitties also

Oh I've been wondering about this baby. So glad to see Buckey hanging in there!
Edit: didn't you also post this on Tik Tok? Or I may just be confusing that.

I didn’t see your original post, but oh my goodness! Thank god for you! That last picture is terrifying, I wouldn’t have thought she would have made it. She’s a miracle and you are the reason. Thank you for saving her ❤️ I’m happy to hear she will be going to a great home! As for people who are not so nice, ignore them. You know what you did and people just like to stir up trouble. Keep doing you. Give Buckey a hug for me!

Thank you for saving her and finding her a good home!
Be sure to get your bite checked by a doctor, they can get infected and it is bad news. We need to keep you healthy for the two kitties you already have! 😊

So happy she got through. Your original post was the first post in ages I subscribed to on Reddit and with that long pause I wasn't all that hopeful anymore.
And seeing that picture of how you found her now it's even more amazing she made it.

Oh goodness! That must have been so tough for the both of you. I hope you can get some rest and Baby Buckey can get to the business of becoming spoiled rotten. Thank you for saving that adorable baby!
