Stray White Cat Picked Up on the Roadside: "Ears Swelled Up Bigger and Bigger" Veterinarian's Examination Was Also Dumbfounded: It's Not a Cat

In a heartwarming yet surprising turn of events, a TikTok user's act of kindness led to an unexpected discovery. User @lucky.angel31 shared a video on January 31, which has since garnered over two million views, detailing their encounter with what they believed to be an abandoned kitten.

The netizen stumbled upon a tiny, rain-soaked creature struggling on the road. Overcome with compassion, they decided to take the "kitten" home, providing warmth and care. "It was just heartbreaking to see this poor animal suffering," the user shared.

Strange Developments

However, as the days passed, the rescuer noticed something peculiar. The kitten's ears began to swell, growing larger and larger in a way that seemed disproportionate to its body. Concerned, they sought veterinary advice.

A Surprising Revelation

The veterinarian's diagnosis left the netizen in disbelief: the "kitten" was not a cat at all, but a fox cub! "I was completely shocked," the user admitted. "It looked so much like a kitten; I never suspected otherwise."

Handed Over to Professionals

Recognizing that foxes are not suitable as domestic pets, the user made the responsible decision to hand the fox cub over to a wildlife conservation unit. The cub will receive expert care and, once it matures, will be considered for release back into the wild.

This story serves as a reminder of the unexpected twists and turns life can take, and the importance of seeking professional help when dealing with unfamiliar animals. The kindhearted netizen's compassion ultimately ensured the best possible outcome for the little fox cub.
