Aurora arrived at the scene of the rescue frail and fatigued. "While she was frighteningly slender, she presented with difficulty walking on her back legs. We desired a thorough examination of her and her infants."

When she was given a full bowl of food, the mama cat was overjoyed and scarfed it down as if there was no tomorrow. After a hard ordeal, she could finally rest assured that her family was secure.

Aurora regained strength in her legs after eating some nutritious food and resting in a warm, cozy nest. In the days that followed, she regained the strength to stand on all fours and resume walking.
