Hairless Cat Suffers Congenital Disease, Resembles a Bat; Owner Says: 'It's Just Beautifully Unique!'
Lucy is a hairless cat, it was born different from its other siblings right from the start.
Its head is big, its eyes protrude outwards, it looks like a bat!
After a veterinary check, Lucy was found to have congenital hydrocephalus, a rare disease. The doctor also believed that there was no value in treatment and recommended euthanasia.
Zilla Bergamini saw Lucy for the first time at a friend's house and immediately decided to adopt it.
However, she wasn't acting impulsively, she spent three days researching Lucy's illness and learning relevant care knowledge before bringing it home.
And after bringing Lucy home, Zilla began to search for the best neurosurgeons nationwide, starting to save money for its treatment.
When Lucy came to the house, she took it to the doctor, and the doctor said that Lucy's hydrocephalus caused her skull to deform and her cornea was constantly rubbed, and she might need eye drops for the rest of her life.
Such difficulties didn't make Zilla give up, she found the best doctor locally to treat Lucy, and it gradually recovered its bowel movements and eyesight.
Lucy is more fragile than other cats, Zilla had to take care of it more carefully. During Lucy's illness, Zilla put it on baby diapers and carefully held it, as if caring for a newborn baby.
Zilla also took it to enjoy the outside scenery and watch birds on the windowsill. The other cats in the house gave Lucy, the unfortunate little sister, a lot of care.
Gradually, Lucy got better, day by day healthier.
Now Lucy has 2.5 million fans online, it's a true internet celebrity cat, and its unique appearance has become its strong symbol.
Most congenitally disabled cats like Lucy have to be euthanized, but Zilla's love for Lucy proved that they are just different in beauty, and giving up on them is not the only choice!
