Cat Survives 20 Days As A Jarhead

GREENSBURG, Pa. -
A kitten is lucky to be alive after struggling for 20 days before being saved from the brink of death by a Greensburg woman.
Janine Quinn said she noticed the kitten a couple weeks ago but was unable to get to it before the kitten ran off.
She said she'd see it every now and then with the jar still stuck on its head but she was unable to save it until recently.
"I never wanted to give up on her even though it got really, really bad and I just walked around and cried the whole entire time thinking that she was gone," Quinn said.
Quinn searched for the feral cat for 20 days thinking it had died before corralling the severely malnourished cat on Friday.
"The jar was so tight around her neck I couldn't even get my fingers up there around her but it fit her head completely," Quinn said. "When I got the jar off it smelled like infection. It smelled like death. I thought she was dying. She's an amazingly lucky cat."
Lucky indeed.  Acts of kindness make all the difference to the helpless, whether it's an adult, child or animal. This woman is a hero, not only for saving the animal, but for caring so much.

We needed a happy ending, the news this week has been cruel.  Enjoy!
