As winter is just around the corner, we cat parents need to pay special attention to our feline friends, especially outdoor ones who live in snowy areas.

A single moment of inattention can lead to a CATastrophe, just like it happened to this family in Kalispell City, Montana. 

The owners found their feline friend Fluffy, frozen and unresponsive, buried in the snow. That day, temperatures dropped below -13°C, which resulted in snow and ice frozen to Fluffy’s fur.

Finding Fluffy unresponsive left her owners devastated, but it turned out that she was saved in the nick of time.  

Her owners immediately rushed her to the Animal Clinic of Kalispell, Montana, hoping they’d arrive in time. 

Fluffy was in such a dire state that the facility’s thermometer couldn’t even register her body temperature.

The vets wasted no time in helping the poor cat and put all their efforts into bringing her back to life. They used warm blankets and a hairdryer to warm Fluffy up and increase her body temperature.

After several hours of constant warming, Fluffy finally began showing signs of recovery. It was nothing short of a miracle!

Fluffy was found completely frozen and unresponsive, but thanks to her owners’ quick thinking and highly skilled vets, Fluffy came back to life after just a few hours.

The Animal Clinic Of Kalispell proudly shared the cat’s recovery pictures on its Facebook page, and they swiftly went viral. They shared in their caption:

“Amazing success and survival story from this week. Some clients found their injured cat buried in snow. They brought her to us, essentially frozen and unresponsive. Her temperature was very low, but after many hours she recovered and is now completely normal. Fluffy is amazing.”

The important thing is that Fluffy was saved in the nick of time and that her rescue mission turned out to be more than just successful.

May this touching story serve as a gentle reminder to all cat parents to pay close attention to their feline friends during the winter season. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
