Cat Spent 52 Days Locked In Home Without Food, Miraculously Survived

A Dutch cat miraculously survived 52 days of confinement in an empty house with no food, surprising the new owners of the property when they arrived at their new home.

The ingenious cat’s name is Finn, and it’s still unclear how he got to the empty house, as nothing is known about the former owner of the premises and alleged owner of the feline since early July.

In any case, to the surprise of the new owners, when they arrived at the house they saw a Finnish rather emaciated, very thin and fearful of humans. Fortunately, his condition was not serious and when checked by animal health services, they discovered he had bits of paper in his stomach that he apparently ate to survive.

According to Dutch animal welfare chief Dik Nagtegaal, Fin has recovered from gout disease and is “understandably reluctant to spend time with people”.

“There had to be a leaky faucet somewhere he could drink. Finn is upset with everything that has happened. In due course we will find a suitable owner ”Nagtegaal added.

However, the cat has become a celebrity and even A crowdfunding campaign has been launched to gather resources to help her pay for her medical bills and her process of finding a new home, which has already raised thousands of euros.

The campaign even doubled the initial fundraising target which was to pay for the drip treatment, But with the surplus, you can now pay for deworming, vaccinations, a microchip and an operation to neuter Finn.

The police are still looking for the cat’s former owner, who could face animal cruelty charges.

The previous owner may have left Finn alone in the empty house, no food or water to subsist.

Finn may also have escaped from the house, with the owner now too embarrassed to introduce himself.

The cat has a habit of evading contact, so his initial instinct when found by new owners was to escape them.

Now, the centre’s employees are patiently waiting for the cat’s attitude to change with all the love and attention they give him. In reality, On August 28, Finn weighed three kilograms, a small advance considering that when they found him, he weighed 2.6 kilograms. They feed it several times a day and little by little it gets stronger.
