A Survior's Story: Jellybean

My name is Jellybean, I am just a kitten, and I am a survivor. On Tuesday, April 1, 2008 I was dropped off at the vet's office with burns on my head, tail, and feet. The person who dropped me off said that their 3 year old child had put me in the microwave and set it for three minutes. I since I can't speak "humanese" I can't confirm that story or deny it. I was in severe pain and there was a discussion as to whether I should be "put to sleep" or given a chance to live. The vet decided to give me that chance.

I had to have one leg amputated along with my tail. I also lost my ears. I have burns on the tops and bottoms of my remaining paws but they are healing. I am doing well and will be going to a new forever home with people who will take care of me as soon as I am well enough to leave the vet's office.

Please teach your children that all animals are living creatures and that we need to be cared for. We are not toys. We feel pain when we are hurt. I am one of the lucky ones.

My name is Jellybean. I'm only 8 weeks old. I am a survivor.

  2. Oh that is so sad and horrible. Even little beans should know better (or be supervised better). We're so glad that you are healing and that you are a survivor. You had to go through a lot, but now you're going to your forever home where you will always be loved and well cared for.

  7. We are appalled at your story! I hope that bean got a just punishment, even if it is a little bean. The big beans need punished to, for not watching over things better!

    I am so glad you have a new home already. I hope you are loved and loved cause you sure deserve it!

    Sending you gentle headbutts and lots of purrayers for a quick recovery.

  10. Dear Baby Jellybean...we would like to thank the vet and your new family for giving you a chance. Hope you have many happier years in your future.

    Mom said that there isn't anything nice she can say about the former "humans" who you were with but she does say she believes in karma and they will get what they deserve.

    Many purrs...

  12. Jellybean, you are one tough puddin. We don't entirely believe those beans story about the three year old, but at least it got you away from them and into a good furrever home. We're all hoping you have a great rest of your life.

  13. I don't know what to say other than I love you Jelly Bean. You are a gorgeous & strong kitty. I agree with what Junior said, I hope someone is getting their due punishment..but to be honest, I don't think ANYTHING would be punishment enough...kid or not.

    Thank you VET for giving Jellybean a chance and for his new humans to take care of him!
