Michi Bebé’s Second Chance: From Neglect to Healing

Cat-alog Blog: Michi Bebé’s Fight for a Better Life

Not every rescue begins with an abandoned cat on the street. Sometimes it starts with a conversation.

That was the case for Michi Bebé, a family cat who had suffered years of neglect, not out of cruelty, but out of misunderstanding and fear. He was unsterilized, constantly in fights, scarred with battle wounds, and left with a mangled paw that would not heal.

When Dyana noticed him, she took the time to track down the family. They loved him but were terrified of the vet because a past visit had convinced them that nothing more could be done and that Michi would die. With limited income and five other cats already in their care, they did not believe help was possible.

But Dyana did not stop there. Together with Kirsten, they guided the family, explaining that there was still hope if they brought Michi to the right vet. The vet confirmed that his paw would need to be amputated and made it clear that healing after years of neglect could not happen instantly. What Michi needed most was patience, continued care, and a chance.

Since then, Kirsten and Dyana have accompanied the family through vet visits, treatment, and medication. Michi has been kept indoors and is finally getting the steady care he never had before. He is struggling with the adjustment and shows signs of depression after always being an outdoor cat, but he is safer now and has a chance at a more comfortable life.

This has been a journey not just for Michi, but for the family as well. They are learning what real cat care requires, and thanks to Dyana and Kirsten’s persistence, Michi is being given a second chance.

💙 Looking ahead, there is hope for Michi Bebé. With continued care and compassion, his life is slowly being stitched back together.
