One Sindhu SJ on Facebook recently shared that her husband found a kitten in an industrial area, injured and in pain.

Found to be paralysed

According to Sindhu's post on Jan. 14, the kitten was alive when her husband found her. However, she was dragging herself along, and moaning in pain.

This is the kitty:

She said that the kitten, which was discovered at a "heavy industrial area", could have possibly been run over by a vehicle or crushed by machinery.

Her husband immediately took her to Mount Pleasant, an animal hospital, where they discovered that her anus and hind legs had been crushed.

The vet also said that the bottom half of the kitten's body will be permanently paralysed.

She is only about one month old.

Looking for experienced fosterer

Sindhu said that they were faced with two options: euthanise her, or find her an experienced fosterer.

The couple expressed their unwillingness to take up the first option, and so, they are hoping for the latter.

In the Facebook post, Sindhu stressed that they are looking for someone who has fostered cats with such conditions.

Because the kitty is paralysed from the waist down, she will require a caregiver who can help her urine and poop. She will also need to be on long-term medication.

Here's a video of the poor kitty:
