MARYLAND – A stray kitten whose ears had been burned off two months ago has a new home, according to BARCS Animal Shelter in Baltimore.
Duckie– whom BARCS volunteers believe was indeed hurt intentionally, as there were minimal injuries on the rest of her body– went home with her new mom on Monday.
“A big thank you to all who donated to Duckie’s care,” BARCS commented in a Facebook post. “The outpouring of love and support allowed us to not only cover her medical costs, but also the costs of so many more dogs and cat at BARCS. You made this day possible.”
Duckie was found basically lifeless in August on a window sill. The pads on her feet were also burned, her ears were freshly burned from the tips down and her whiskers were singed.
Read these characteristics which almost all cat lovers have in common:
INTROVERTED AND SENSITIVE
It’s the nature of cats that they are not friends with everybody, and the same trait can be seen in their owners too. Usually, they live alone and are happy with their independent lifestyle. They are introverts but are comfortable hanging around with other people. However, they would need some me-time to relax and recharge.
CAT LOVERS LEAN TO LEFT
It has been observed that people with liberal political leanings prefer cats over dogs. You might be a liberal dog lover or a conservative cat owner; if you’re a liberal, you love cats and vice versa.
CAT OWNERS ARE OPEN-MINDED
Five traits – conscientiousness, neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, and openness are often seen in most cat lovers. As compared to dog owners, people who have cats as pets are more open and therefore, have greater artistic creativity.
ATTENTION SEEKERS
Just like their pets, cat lovers seek attention from people around them. They like to be the centre of all conversations. At times, cat owners rely on their pets for emotional support.
THEY RESPECT CATS MORE THAN ANYONE
Cat people respect cats more than humans, in general. The saddest sight for a cat lover is to see the animal on the streets without a home. Cat lovers are often seen making a special effort to rescue or rehabilitate homeless cats.
