The story about the girl Varya and the miraculous rescue of the tailed one in the town of Usman was told by journalists of the Lipetsk newspaper Novaya Zhizn. One spring day Varvara Guznaeva was returning home from school. The weather was chilly outside, slushy and drizzling. Passing by the Olympic swimming pool, she saw a downed and dying, but still alive cat on the side of the road. And I couldn't get past it.
The red-haired cat was covered in blood, broken, dazed from sudden pain and shock. And he was dying. People were passing by, but Varya stopped. The girl was wearing a white jacket, but not paying attention to the fact that the jacket would be stained, she took the poor animal in her arms. Dirty, covered in blood and didn't know where to take him so that someone would help.
Seeing a girl with a bloody cat in her arms, a boy from a nearby school helped her and escorted her to the nearest Pulse veterinary clinic at the railway crossing. Varvara carried the cat in her arms for about half a kilometer. And steadfastly kept herself from crying.
The only thing the eleven-year-old schoolgirl could beg the vet for was to save the cat. And here ginger was lucky for the second time. The clinic staff, led by doctor Vitaly Terentyev, did not dismiss the girl with no one's dying animal in her arms, took the animal for examination.
When Varya's parents arrived, the veterinarians did not hide it - the cat was very bad, the poor guy no longer had a fever, he was not breathing, but wheezing.
"After reassuring Varya that the cat needed to be treated in the hospital, we went home. Suspecting the most likely outcome of this whole story, I tried to distract my daughter. The cat is recovering, we have to wait. And the cat… The cat, realizing that someone else needed him in this world, remembering the warmth of his hands and the beating of a child's heart, tried his best. He was climbing out of death, clinging with all his weak claws," said Varya's mother Snezhana Guznaeva.
The staff of the veterinary clinic also did not stand aside and, by all means, tried to make the cat survive. "If a child was able to help a poor animal not to die on the road, then so am I.……I'll get him out..." the veterinarian said at the time. And a miracle happened. Two and a half weeks later, Guznaev family received a call and said these important words: "The cat is alive and it can already be taken away!". Moreover, for treatment, medicines and care, and the cat was in a coma for several days, the vet clinic did not take a penny. They were so imbued with this story there.
"Varya's joy knew no bounds! We decided to find the owners of Chad, as we called him, from the words Humanity + Kindness. I wrote posts on social networks, waiting for the owner to be found. And while time was passing, we treated the cat, gave him injections and took him to the vet for examination," Snezhana continues.
The cat with the new name Chad turned out to be a rare clever one. He understood human speech perfectly, obediently did what was required of him, endured procedures and injections with fortitude.
After three weeks of a new life in a new family, the owner of the cat was found, who literally sobbed into the phone and asked to come to her red-haired friend. It turned out that Chad is a Barsik who left home for a walk. Now he has gone back to his masters.
"Of course, we are proud of our daughter, her act, and at the same time we think how she was not afraid," Varvara's mother shares. - She didn't know where to go to ask for help, but she found it anyway, asked and saved the red cat. And we tell her: "Varya, the good always comes back! This ginger cat is sure to bring you good luck!"
