A cat was shot in the head and disabled, becoming an Internet star in the form of a mermaid. The story goes back nine years, one day in 2013, when 3-month-old kitten Sally was shot in the head and lay dying in the Santiago Park in Chile. Janiz Jerek, who happened to be a student, passed by and immediately took Sally to see the vet. X-rays showed Sally was paraplegic from her injuries and she would never walk again.
Janice decided to adopt the poor kitten and give it a chance to improve her quality of life. Two months later, Janice picked up Sally from the hospital. He bought a wheelchair with a student loan to give it some room for independent activities. Under the advice of a few friends, he had the idea of wearing a mermaid costume for Sally. According to the vet, Sally can't feel anything below her neck, she can't curl up like a healthy cat to keep her body warm, so it's important to have clothes to keep it warm, and the mermaid tail is a good idea.
Janice designed the tail on paper and asked a friend to stitch it together. Janiz often shares Sally's life on social media, showing the world that unhappy animals can also live happy, fulfilling lives. Sally, now 9, has become an internet celebrity, winning the hearts of fans by wearing a light blue furry tail and posing for a wheelchair specially designed for it. "I want people to see Sally the way I look at it because this cute little guy has suffered a lot, but now it's very happy with its own life," Janiz said.
"I have to make sure to empty its bladder three times a day and make sure it has enough space to walk around without getting stuck. Disabled pets may require you to do some extra work, but they are great companions and are sure to add some magical moments to your life. One netizen wrote: "You deserve it all." Another added: "Beautiful mermaid Sally, you're amazing, we love you. Others said, "You're a perfect meow." ”
