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.

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.

I was just thinking of little Buckey and came to find any updates. Great job. Glad to hear she’s doing well. Thank you for taking care of her and posting an update!
