Purple Kitten Rescued From Life As A Living Chew Toy

No one can say for certain how the first weeks of Smurf's life played out, but his broken body and frightened eyes hint at abuses unimaginable.

His spirit, however, remains intact.

The sweet but scared kitten, thought to be less than 2 months old, was dropped off at a San Jose animal shelter in California this week. While it was obvious that someone had dyed his fur a deep shade of purple, staff soon discovered his body was covered in deep bite marks and abrasions.

Rather than euthanizing Smurf, the shelter alerted the Nine Lives Foundation, a rescue center for injured and abused cats run by veterinarian Monica Rudiger.
