Meet Social Media Star Keçi
Keçi from the Aegean region in Turkey is an extraordinary female cat of three years who survived tough challenges and gained fame on social media. Due to her illness, she sometimes exhibits aggressive behavior, but she calms down when her current pawrent, Pınar Göktaş, plays a traditional Turkish song. These calming moments were captured on video, which made Keçi a well-known cat. Now, let's dive into the remarkable story of Keçi's survival.
A Rough Start
Keçi (Turkish for goat) lived with her mother and three siblings. At the time she was still living with another person, a male student. One day, during a party held at their home, someone accidentally stepped on Keçi. This unfortunate incident marked a major turning point in her life. Keçi suffered a severe brain injury and was quickly taken to the veterinary clinic. She was placed in intensive care, where she experienced frequent seizures, and the seriousness of her condition was communicated to her pawrent. The veterinarian had little hope for Keçi: if she survived, she would likely live with partial disabilities.
Dire Conditions
However, Keçi’s previous pawrent, being a student, said he couldn’t take care of a disabled cat and asked for Keçi to be rehomed. At that time, Keçi’s condition was dire; she couldn’t eat, and her body trembled so much that she couldn’t even receive an IV. She spent most of her time in a dark box, hungry and thirsty. People who visited her often closed the box with pity, leaving Keçi to wonder if she would ever see her mother and siblings again.
On the fourth day, a woman - Pınar - came to the clinic. Upon seeing Keçi’s condition, she reacted immediately and, after hearing her story, noted down the student’s phone number. The Pınar rescued Keçi from the clinic' and rushed her home. Initially, she tried to give Keçi water and wet food, but she was unsuccessful. With patience, she managed to feed Keçi and give her water. When Keçi swallowed her first bit of food, tears rolled down her eyes, and Pınar who adopted her shared in this emotional moment.
Fighting for Life
Keçi was taken to many clinics in the following days. Most veterinarians believed that with her severe trauma and being just a 20-day-old kitten, survival was impossible and recommended euthanasia. However, Keçi’s new pawrent was determined to fight for her, and Keçi managed to survive this difficult period.
Soothing Songs Makes a Social Media Star
Due to her illness, Keçi sometimes exhibits aggressive behavior. However, she calms down when her pawrent, Pınar, plays a specific traditional Turkish song. These moments were captured on video and gained significant attention on social media, making Keçi popular. Born on May 31, 2021, Keçi now lives on as a well-known cat on social media.
