Blanquita, a cat who fell victim to animal abuse in Cuba, now has a fighting chance at life thanks to the generosity of several individuals on the island.

On May 16, a group of children threw the cat from a significant height, causing a spinal fracture. Her owner rescued her, and since then, they have been battling for her survival, despite facing personal health challenges.

Blanquita was taken to Havana for treatment, but after initial recovery, she still requires special care due to urinary incontinence and mobility issues.

Her caregiver, Mileydis Suárez, launched a campaign on social media to collect funds and materials like wet wipes and a small blanket to aid in Blanquita's care.

Recently, with donations from several Cubans, they managed to purchase a special walker to help her move and gain more independence. Although Blanquita is still adjusting to her new device, her owner remains hopeful that her quality of life will soon improve.

The story of Blanquita is a testament to the power of collaboration and love for animals, showing that with a little collective effort, a significant difference can be made.
