Imagine this — a tiny, scared kitten trapped in a dark manhole in Zagreb, with no food, no water, exposed to the scorching sun and high temperatures, with no one to help. But don’t worry, this story has a happy ending! Thanks to the quick action of Zagreb Roads employees and the Dumovec animal shelter, little Izabela was rescued from danger and given a new chance at life.
It all started when concerned citizens noticed a poor kitten struggling for life in a deep manhole in Dubrava. They immediately called Dumovec, but even their field workers couldn’t help the frightened animal alone. That’s when Zagreb Roads staff stepped in, arriving without hesitation, opening the manhole, and saving Izabela from the perilous situation.
Veterinarians determined Izabela is about two months old and likely had been without food and water for a long time. Despite everything, she showed incredible strength and will to live. Now she’s safe in the shelter, where they are looking for her forever home. If you’re ready to adopt this brave kitty, you can contact udomljavanje@dumovec.hr.
This story isn’t just about saving one kitten; it’s about the importance of quick community response and cooperation between different services to save animals in distress. Izabela proves that even the smallest among us can be true heroes. Have you ever seen something like this? Or maybe you have your own animal rescue story?
