Chipper The Miracle Cat Is Still Holding On

If cats have nine lives, this little guy used up eight and a half of his. Struggling to stay alive, but hanging on with every whisker, Chipper the cat had a run in with a wood chipper. The incident occurred at the end of June when the kitten decided to take a nap in the machine. Workers were unaware of Chipper's presence and turned the machine on. Amazingly, Chipper lived although his neck and legs were broken and he suffered severe head injuries. He was taken to the cat sanctuary where he received surgery. According to local10.com, the sanctuary has received over 800 emails wishing the kitty a quick recovery. There were also about 100 people who offered to adopt Chipper once he is feeling better.
