Boston, Massachusetts – Seekor kucing bernama Luna yang dikurung dalam sangkar arnab kecil selama 12 tahun, akhirnya merasai kebebasan setelah diselamatkan. Video menunjukkan hari pertama dia merasai kebebasannya menarik perhatian ramai di media sosial.
“Sudah 6 tahun sejak dari hari itu, lebih 2,000 hari kini dihabiskan untuk memanggilnya ratu dunia, mencium perut kerintingnya, dan memberinya kasih sayang sepenuhnya,” kata pemiliknya, Julie Nashawaty.
Dalam video tersebut, Luna kelihatan manja dan gembira pada malam pertama dia berada di rumah baru.
Pada 28 Disember 2018, Julie menemui Luna di sebuah pusat perlindungan haiwan di Boston. Luna, ketika itu berusia 12 tahun, kelihatan lemah dan kecil.
“Saya pada awalnya hanya mahu menghantar sumbangan, tetapi apabila melihat kucing Maince Coon tua itu, saya tahu dia milik saya,” kata.
Luna diselamatkan daripada keadaan di mana lebih 50 ekor kucing dikumpulkan dan tidak dijaga dengan baik. Mereka dikurung dalam sangkar arnab kecil tanpa penjagaan rapi. Ketika ditemui, Luna hanya seberat 2.72 kilogram, mengalami jangkitan pernafasan, bulunya kotor, dan giginya patah kerana menggunakan botol air untuk arnab.
Walaupun mengalami penderitaan, Luna tetap menunjukkan kasih sayang dan mempercayai manusia.
First night home with a 12-year-old part mainecoon cat who spent her entire life in a rabbit cage. Her paws were all stained from standing in her waste and her teeth were broken from drinking from a rabbit water bottle on the side of her cage. She was on the brink of death when they found her. Its been 6 years since this day and over 2,000 days have now been spent telling her she is the queen of the universe and kissing her curly tummy and giving her the world. #catrescue #catadoptionstories #catlover #catmom #soulcat
Hearing your cat scream is the most heartbreaking noise in the world. When Luna started screaming like this we went to the vet to rule everything medical out and they said she’s healthy (minus stage two kidney disease), but this is what senior cat dementia looks like. She will get lost in our small apartment. She will yell. A LOT. Her memory isnt all there anymore, though we swear she knows exactly what time it is all day long. Give your senior cats extra comfort, extra love, extra patience for those 6am cat screaming sessions, and remember that one day youd give anything to hear these screams again. This is the sad side of growing older your babies.. but how lucky am I to be the one to hug her and always make sure she knows I’d climb to the moon to make her feel okay. ❤️ #cat #cats #seniorcatsoftiktok #dementia #catlover
Enam tahun selepas diselamatkan, Luna kini hidup bahagia bersama Julie, suaminya, dan seekor kucing peliharaan lain bernama Ollie. Walaupun masih menghadapi masalah kesihatan seperti demensia, Luna kekal menjadi kucing yang ceria dan penuh kasih sayang. – Agensi
