Some stray cats are in urgent need of medical attention and a lot of love, and luckily for the adorable Nicodemus, help came just in time! Nicodemus has had a very rough time behind him and suffered from multiple medical conditions, but despite his illnesses, his rescuers say that he was one of the sweetest little cats they have even seen.
The rescuers of the Stray Rescue organization in St. Louis in Missouri found him with a broken jaw and immediately noticed the severity of his injuries.
The jaw was fractured in two places and needed surgery to recover.
“When we first rescued him, we didn’t know if he would make it. His injuries were so severe,” one of the rescuers mentioned.
Aside from the broken jaw, Nicodemus also tested positive for FIV+ (feline immunodeficiency virus) and his health was in serious peril. The rescuers of the organization were hoping Nicodemus would pull through, but his future remained uncertain.
“When we first rescued him, we didn’t know if he would make it. His injuries were so severe,” the rescuers recall.
The fighting spirit of Nicodemus made him pull through, and after two months of tough recovery, he was now a happy and energetic little feline once again.
“We’re not sure how many other shelters would give this guy a chance, but to us – his life matters,” the organization said.
What’s truly amazing is that Nicodemus’s charming, affectionate and loving personality shined even brighter, when he was fully recovered. With his jaw finally intact, the little cat always gave his rescuers a firm hug and gave them little cuddles and licks. The adorable cat also wouldn’t let go once he went in for a hug and it’s about the sweetest thing ever.

“This kitty beat all odds. To us his life was worth saving, and look at him now!”
When Nicodemus was finally healthy again, the organization put him up for adoption. After a couple of weeks, a woman passed by and instantly fell in love with Nicodemus.
The two met and Nicodemus immediately went in for a warm hug. The cat then continued to get comfortable on her lap as if she was family.
“This amazing person came to meet him. He melted into her lap and of course she took him home.”
Even though little Nicodemus still has some scars from his injuries, he will never stop spreading his love, especially now that he’s found his forever home.
