    Rescue Cat Turns Her Crooked Jaw into a Beautiful Smile

    Duchess the Miracle Cat was brought into a Texas animal  hospital. Most places wouldve just euthanised her...
    
      
      
    
         
    
     
     
     
      
      
    ...as she had a broken jaw and other complications. But two vets decided that they were going to take a chance on the unlucky feline.
    
      
      
        
     
     
     
      
      
    Her chances of survival were slim, and Duchess had to have  all her teeth removed.
    
      
      
    
         
    
     
     
     
      
      
    Luckily, everything went perfect and Duchess got a beautiful  smile!
    
      
      
        
     
     
     
      
      
    The best part? After seeing this smile, Crystal Tate decided to adopt her straight from the clinic!
    
      
      
    
         
    
     
     
     
      
      
    "The day I first met Duchess, her mouth was just beginning  to heal, and the feeding tube had just been removed, and she was very thin."
    
      
      
        
     
     
     
      
      
    "The lowest meow caught my attention; her eyes showed so much sadness, but her purrs showed so much love and hope."
    
      
      
    
         
    
     
     
     
      
      
    "The doctors asked me if I could give her a home a few weeks later. I knew immediately we were meant to land  in each other lives."
    
      
      
        
     
     
     
      
      
    "I had never cared for a special needs kitty, and she had never experienced life as a special needs kitty, but we learned together."
    
      
      
    
         
    
      
      
    "And now she's grown so much, and I couldn't be prouder..."
    
      
      
       
      "...from a cat whose chances of survival were at 20% to a spunky little love bug who climbs on everything and loves on everyone." 
        
       
       
    
     "She reminds me everyday that each day is a gift, and that miracles really do happen."

    Looks great, she can eat soft food normally? I just posted the story to FR...a friend forwarded it to me earlier. Not sure about food as I was wondering the same, but I imagine she can handle soft food with her gums.

    As a “momma” to 35 kittehs currently, I’d have happily made this sweet lil girlie number 36 in a heartbeat! She’s adorable!
Glad they gave her a chance at life and that she has a loving home.

    Wow, you got the cat thing down. That’s great.
 
To: beaversmom
    LOL! It’s not by choice! Living on a farm, we get a lot of dump-offs. Just got one last week. He’s had his FLV/FIV tests, gotten his shots, and gets neutered Wed. morning.
They can be a handful but we love ‘em dearly. And once they arrive here, they’re here for life.

    I really needed a story like this today. A few tears of happiness puts life back in perspective very nicely. I would have adopted that kitteh into my cat family in a heartbeat.
