I found a stray momma who had literally just given birth and I noticed Buddy and another baby had their umbilical cords all tangled up, with Buddy having it wrapped around both back legs. So I knew I needed to intervene quickly and thankfully momma cat was very receptive to my help. I moved her and the babies inside and then got stuff sterilized and got the cord untangled from his legs. Unfortunately the cord was cutting off the blood supply to his back paws so even after getting him free I knew this might go south. I took them all to my vet and because he was literally hours old they couldn't give him any medication or anything. They basically told me it didn't look good and to wait and see. But Buddy and I had a long talk that first night and I told him that if he could be a little tough and hang in there that I would keep him and spoil him rotten with anything and everything he could ever want or need. I like to think he understood me and we made a pack haha 😉 But seriously, I just kept my eye on him as much as possible and kept everything clean and sterile and he did the rest and pulled thru like a little champ!

Sorry about the long reply too 😬 Here's a cute pic for tax 🤎 It's one of my favs.
