True to her name, Miracle came into the BC SPCA’s care after being found trapped in the wheel well of a vehicle in Surrey. It took the effort of a whole community to save little Miracle, whose cries could be heard from inside the car as neighbours and first responders removed parts of the vehicle to try and reach her. It took the expertise of a local mechanic who knew just what parts of the car needed to be moved to free her and bring Miracle to safety.
Once she was out of the car, Miracle was rushed by an attending veterinarian to their clinic and immediately started on fluids, pain relief and antibiotics. Unfortunately, her leg was too badly injured and needed to be amputated to give her the best chance of survival.
Miracle has been recovering from her ordeal with a special foster from the veterinary clinic where she was treated while she has been patiently waiting to find her forever home. Although the newly released 2025 Hill’s Pet Nutrition Canada State of Shelter Pet Adoption Report shows that 48 per cent of Canadians would likely adopt a cat from a shelter, poor little Miracle has been in the care of the BC SPCA’s care for 3 months already without any interest from a potential adopter.
The same report highlights the cost of veterinary care directly impacting the decision to adopt a new animal for 72 per cent of Canadians. Although the cost of Miracle’s care to-date has been generously covered by the kindness of BC SPCA supporters, Hill’s Pet Nutrition has also offered to provide a year’s worth of premium pet food to her future adopter to help with some of the initial costs of getting her settled in her new home.
Miracle is a sweet and playful cat who gives gentle headbutts and tiny chirps to show her affection. Interested adopters should visit her page on the BC SPCA’s adoption website to submit an application.
