It was as a woman in Alberta, Canada, was throwing out her trash that she made a shocking discovery. In the garbage, she saw a backpack, and to her great bewilderment, inside the backpack was a cat. The woman immediately phoned the Alberta Animal Services, who rushed to the location to care for the poor cat.
Alberta Animal ServiceAfter further investigation at an animal hospital, veterinarians concluded that someone had actually tried to choke the cat, leading to neurological problems. In that cruel process, the cat had thus been rendered blind.

His condition is quickly improving, and he is already eating better. Following news of his discovery, donations from animal lovers have flowed in, and the hope is to find him a loving, forever home.
Alberta Animal ServiceI will never understand and accept that people do this to an innocent animal, but at the same time, I am happy that there are organizations that Alberta Animal Services. Without you many more animals never had the chance for a life in safety.
