Marlena Kiely was scrolling through Instagram when she came across a tiny black kitten who didn’t have use of her black legs. Kiely, a cat foster caregiver, decided to pick her up from animal control and take her immediately to a veterinarian.

After examining Raven, the veterinarian concluded that she was fully paralyzed, and she recommended euthanasia, which Kiely quickly rejected. She told the veterinarian, “I just need you to show me what to do.”

According to a video by The Dodo, Kiely describes her as sassy and independent with a special spirit.

Michelle Bellican was also scrolling through Instagram, and saw Raven. And the rest as they say, is history!

Watch this adorable story unfold and have a great weekend!
