When love and kindness arrive at the proper time, they have the ability to save lives. It can happen to both humans and animals at the same time. This story’s 14-week-old mountain lion cub is an excellent illustration. Firefighters discovered the malnourished and terribly dehydrated tiny abandoned lion. Luckily, she was rescued and cared for, and she is now healthy and thriving.

The mountain lion cub was discovered beside a road in Idyllwild, California, by firemen from the Vista Grande Fire Station in September. Her situation was serious at the time: she was malnourished, dehydrated, and weighed less than 11 pounds.
The poor little cub was thankfully saved. The firefighters sought assistance from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. After that, the agency contacted the San Diego Humane Society, which agreed to take the small lion in. She was given special treatment in the shelter and is now healthy and thriving after five weeks.
“She was given hydration therapy and medications on a daily basis. She went from five to three small, nutritious meals each day in a couple of weeks. They include ground proteins and milk replacer to help her body adjust to solid foods gradually. We’re happy to report that she’s gained over a pound, bringing her total weight to 22 pounds!” The San Diego Humane Society’s director of public relations, Nina Thompson, told the reporters.
The mountain lion youngster is currently active and receptive. She is still undergoing treatment in order to achieve a full recovery. We hope to hear more excellent news from her in the future!
