Nebraska kitten recovering after serious burns

Posted: Updated:

She was found on the side of the road with burns covering her left side. Now, a kitten from Omaha named "Hope" is on the road to recovery.

Someone found this kitten last month with life threatening burns on the left side of her only pound and a half body.

For a while, no one was sure if the kitten would survive. Veterinarians say her skin required antibiotics and specialized wraps over the burn areas. It's a painful process to help replace the dead skin.

It's a process that shows strength and hope from a kitten not ready to use any of her nine lives.

"She'll have one good side, one different side but she'll make a full recovery," says Veterinarian Elizabeth Farrington.

Hope's recovery could take weeks to months, and the Nebraska Humane Society is not sure how the kitten got the burns.
