ICE BEAR:
ICY NAME WITH A HEARTWARMING STORY
Mela Cervantes Abrera, a mental health advocate and a mother of two children and two fur-babies, has already rescued and fostered many kittens. But there was something special about Ice Bear the puspin that made Abrera adopt him.
After finding Ice Bear in the trash, a neighbor gave Abrera the kitten. Abrera said, “When Ice Bear was found, he was too small for his age, obviously malnourished.”
“Ice Bear was a very sickly kitten. During the first month he was with me, he was rushed twice to the vet for emergency care: The first one was when he had severe diarrhea, while the second time was when he had a seizure. He has had three seizures so far,” Abrera shared.
Ice Bear’s delicate condition triggered Abrera’s maternal instincts, especially when she found out that he was also deaf. He might have been a small kitten, but it was obvious that he had a special place in his foster-parentturned-forever-human’s heart.
