Maggie must have been the friendly neighbourhood cat, approaching people, rubbing herself against everyone legs.

She was an easy victim.

What you see here is the condition in which she has arrived to us. She was terrified inside that box. Hiding under the shredded newspaper. Her blood covering the entire wall of the carrier.

Brutal lacerations on her neck consistent with injuries caused by rubber bands. Someone must have enjoyed himself torturing poor little Maggie and placing extremely tight rubber bands around her neck. The bands put an terrible pressure and the more she tried to pull them out the deeper they got into her skin. There is an area where the skin tore completely and the bands cut the muscle tissue.

It must have been absolute hell for her… Cats love their freedom. Seeing herself constrained, unable to breath properly, with those two rings of fire shredding her skin must have driven her crazy.

We don´t know how long she was in this condition and she was unable to eat and drink… her blood levels are terrible, white blood cells are through the roof fighting the infection caused by her injuries. She has extreme anemia and we are watching for any signs of liver or other organ failure. The positive news is that she is FIV and Feline Leukemia NEGATIVE.

 

Please help us save Maggie… at this point we are optimistic we found her in time. There is no end to the evil perpetrated by human beings, but our mission is at least try to fight against that, and to save as many innocent victims as we can.

Please, if you can, help us save Maggie and donate to her care. She is in Intensive Care. Next 48 hours are critical.

UPDATE 1 April

THANK YOU to everyone that is helping us save her life!!!
She is, unfortunately scared of us, obviously what she went through left a mark.
It will be our mission to make her trust humans again…
WE LOVE MAGGIE!! Do you?

Update 10 June… 

Maggie is a new cat now… amazing right?

November 27… 

Maggie is now in Germany… living the life with her friend TAY!!!

After what those people did to her she was left with severe trauma… she hated people and would run for cover whenever anyone approached her…

And then… well… then LOVE happened…

Many thanks

    Donated 50 in memory of our beloved cat Figaro.

  6. Viktor, please save her and thank you so much for all that you do. She is so sweet. Donated a small amount to help .

  7. OMG there is truly some sick people in this world, I won’t mention what I would do with a rubber band to the person who done this!

  8. Shelley Ball says:

    Poor little Maggie, how could anyone do this to you, little sweet one? Just increases my dislike for the human race! Have donated a very small amount, but I hope it might help a little bit. Thank you again, Viktor and Team LAG! xxx

  9. Viktor, if you ever find this person……I will personally fly to his or her location and tie rubber bands around their neck……….

  10. People who do such things are not human… THEY are the worst monsters. Donated and want to say thank you, Viktor.

  11. Juerg Hartmann says:

  18. Victor, may God bless you always for all that you do. I follow your posts with great interest. I already currently give close to 15% of my income to animal rescues and can therefore unfortunately not extend it anymore. But, you and your work are in my prayers. You have such a good heart.

    Thank You for not giving up on your mission in spite of some people trying to take you down.

    Please let us know the continued progress of precious, precious little Maggie. <3

    – Karin

    1. Viktor Larkhill says:

      Many thanks for being there Karine. Don’t worry, giving up is not something we do 🙂
      Love
      Viktor

  19. Vickie Hollar says:

    I will donate next month Viktor. I am donated out this month. Thank you for all the wonderful things you do to save these precious fur babies. I wish I could take her, but I have a 15 yr old, CRF kitty and don’t want to disrupt his chi. He is doing okay right now.

    1. Viktor Larkhill says:

      Many thanks Vickie.. Please take care of your kitty, sounds like he needs you right now.
      Love
      Viktor

  20. Robin Kerns says:

    I donated what I could and am praying for sweet Maggie. I can’t believe how evil humans can be, but I hope Maggie will be saved by the kindhearted humans that are still in this cruel world. God bless you for helping these defenseless creatures.

  21. omg I seriously hate people. Who is the monster that did this? Please keep us updated. Will donate next pay day :’-(

  22. Is it terrible that I hope whoever did this gets what’s coming to them? Karma… Thank God you all have her now, where she will be loved and cared for, and where I know you’ll do whatever you can to save her and give her the good life she deserves.

  23. i am praying for a swift and full recovery for this poor angel and a curse on those who did this to her!!!!

  24. David Starr says:

    I donated. These sadists really annoy me. I wonder if there is any legislative laws that can be enacted to make these type of actions a crime with a severe enough penalty, that people will hesitate to do these type of things where the cat was located.

  25. Hi Viktor, I live in the UK and I have 3 rescue cats! I could quite happily give the horrible person who did this the same treatment he gave this poor defenceless cat! I have donated to help her and if I can adopt her to join my fur family she would have nothing but love and cuddles! Thankyou for all you do for these animals xxx

  26. Oksana Romalis says:

    I donated $50.00. Hope this will help . Please save a girl. Please keep posted her condition.

  27. Jim Corriere says:

    Disgusting act. Not even a human being!

  28. Lin Somers says:

    Dear Viktor, I can’t donate, but I can share. With the number of older cats I have and their medical issues, I am behind on all my other bills. But my cats do come first, no matter what, and I know you always put the animals first also. I will send healing and prayers for poor little Maggie. I hope the perps are punished to the full extent of the law. Thank you for all that you do Viktor. You are an inspiration!

    1. Viktor Larkhill says:

      Thank you Lin! Viktor

  29. All of your stories are sad but this one has really got to me! What’s the adoption process? I live in the uk x

    1. Viktor Larkhill says:

      Hi Lou … Most of them end well hope Maggie will too..
      Email me on viktor@myletsadopt.com and tell me everything about you and your animals… Well take it from there…

  30. Daniela Kirby says:

    I donated a little bit. Poor cat! I hope she will heal fast! Thank you so much for all you do!

  31. jude mignacca says:

    Children frequently put rubber bands around pets’ neck without understanding the consequences. Check your pets frequently if you have small children!!

  32. Nancy Knuth says:

    I am so angry that someone would do such a thing to an innocent animal!! People who bully animals and/or children are a waste to society and I pray their karma will strike! Thank you for everything you do, Viktor!! You are truly a hero!!!

  33. Maureen Douglas says:

    I’m thankful Maggie is now in your care , I will share and share in the hopes of donations twards her care , my thoughts and prayers for Maggie’s smooth recovery..,

  34. Beverley Covert says:

    Please do all you can for this little girl! My opinion of people who are deliberatley cruel to animals, and what should be done with them, is quite severe.I have donated and shared for her recovery. Love & kissess to Maggie.

  35. Naomi Bergner says:

    Sorry if this is a repeat. I don’t see my original comment. Okay, I’ve calmed down, I won’t strangle whoever did this, but I’d sure like to see them punished. How can people be so cruel? A donation has been made. I hope she pulls through.

    1. Viktor Larkhill says:

      Thank you Naomi.. Pls don’t let this enrage you…

  36. I also donated what I could…thx for all you do Victor!!!

  37. Karelle Scharff says:

    I too become enraged at the brutality in which some people engage – to animals and to each other. I too, in my weakest moments would like to do to the perpetrator the kind of harm we see done to Maggie, in some pretty creative ways.

    But I am also seeing that we engage so much in our righteous and well deserved rage that we can’t see the beauty around us, the animals who do recover and offer their love once again, the people who even without acclaim go to extraordinary lengths to save animals, each other, and sometimes even the damaged and demented individuals who do this kind of thing.

    I am not noble enough to love the sick brute who did this, but I also am learning (the hard way) that holding onto anger is like poisoning yourself and expecting the other person to die (a quote from some Buddhist luminary or another). I am not condoning, excusing, or making light of the horrific nature of this torture, and I firmly believe that the perpetrator should be brought to justice, but I also firmly believe that our energies should be directed to supporting the good we see – in those of us who come forward and donate to the care of animals we don’t even know, those who adopt and care for the survivors against all odds, those who rescue animals and those who take in rescues, and even those who just treat their own animals with love and kindness.

    I’m off to donate once again and to pray for peace for all animals, including humans

  38. Jacqueline Robinson says:

    I am so sad that this sweet girl ended up somewhere in this condition. Now she is getting the love and care she needs. Donated $10.00 to help in her medical care. Please keep us updated on her progress~

  39. Seyfi Levent Kalafatoğlu says:

    As someone who cares about all creatures much more than some human beings, i donated a small amount from paypal to save maggie, and will help others in the future as much as i can… Many thanks us to make them help the way we can from afar Viktor Larkhill…

  40. Never a shortage of sick, fucking cruel people. Don’t know how they can live with themselves. There are just so damn many out there….

  41. Cathy Murphy says:

    I hope my donation will help. Poor kitty.

  42. lori reinhard says:

    i don’t understand humans. God gave them a brain, but they refuse to use it. i used to have a dog named maggie. i’ll try 2 find money and donate to maggie. my money is on her.

  43. Have donated a small amount, thank you for what you do for tortured and abandoned animals everywhere.

  44. David Kelly says:

    Viktor, please accept a donation for this beautiful little cat’s fight from my wife and I.
    I can’t write anymore as I’m too upset at the terrible injuries she has.
    Please update me on her progress.

  45. Laurie McRae says:

    Precious Maggie, I hope you know & understand, now that you’re in Viktor’s loving hands, that not all people are evil, like the monsters who inflicted such pain on you. I hope you can feel the purr-ayers, pawsitive vibes & love that’s being sent to you from all over the world! I wish my donation toward your care could have been 100X more!

  46. Mary Prubant says:

    Glad to donate $. Thank you for helping this innocent baby. Was the sadistic bastard who did this to her found? Unless these abusers are apprehended and charged/arrested they will continue to commit these atrocities.

  47. Victor- thanks for all you do to help these babies! I try and donate to them all…Bless you and I will pray for “Maggie”

  48. Volpina bianca e nikka says:

    I have made a little donation for Maggie 6P00866583178841C.
    Hoping foe her life and wealth, i thank you with all my hearth the angels that are helping little Maggie . YOU.

  49. Thanks for saving her, humans we are really bad, where are our hearts??? Little donation for Maggie from Spain.

  50. Vickie Hollar says:

    Viktor, I just read the note you posted on FB about giving out your vet info to that jerk. There is not a one of use here that disputes the good you do. Should anyone ever question you or your ethics, 1, tell them to go look up all the fur babies you have saved and then adopted out, 2, send them my way and I would be ever so happy to give them a good verbal lashing, and bets of all, 3, tell the to go f*** off (or the equivalent in his/her native tongue, LOL)

    Like they would euthanize their mother/father/sister/brother/etc. if he/she was in a car crash and had multiple life threatening injuries.

    I am sorry this happened to you, but please know, the rest of us so appreciate all the wonderful life-saving interventions you do.

    Thank you.

    1. Viktor Larkhill says:

      Many thanks Vickie… well.. live and learn…
      Many many thanks.. Ill update on Maggie in a few hours..

  51. Why would people want your vet details. I thought Wonderful Victor was the vet. He appears in all the video’s with ant injured animals. Some people have to spoil everything.

    1. Viktor Larkhill says:

      Hi Lynne… no.. I´m not the vet, I´m the rescuer and founder of Let´s Adopt Global. We work with the best vets in every location we rescue.
      Some people believe we didn´t go to the moon… enough said 🙂

  52. How is this poor girl now? When did this happen? I don’t see any dates here so just wondering her status.

    Thank You for Helping this poor girl!!!!!

  53. Cathy Logan says:

    just saying people…if you think uthanizing is the answer…just look in their eyes and say that,,I think its awesome what you guys have all done for the babies their and getting them back to health and finding them forever homes! Amazing…and this is going to be another Happy Ending again:) Praying and yes…If you don’t have nothing good to say…please keep it to yourself this is not your place to be,,,Thank you !

  54. Prayers for innocent little Maggie. The cruelty of some of the human race is appalling! If anyone can pull her through this it is your organization with God’s help. Thank you for your care and dedication to another innocent soul.

  55. Kim Worthington says:

    Maggie will overcome her fear soon. Animals always know when they are safe – even if it takes a while. Bless her. xx

  56. I have a cat who had an unsheathing accident (from a pane of glass), from his neck down over his shoulder and through to his abdomen. He made a miraculous recovery and once healed, you’d never know he’d almost died.

    I’m keeping fingers crossed that Maggie recovers similarly and then finds a loving home to give her the life she deserves. Such a beautiful cat. I wish I could take her in, but my 3 cats are enough to handle in my current state of health. Small donation sent. It’s all I can afford right now.

  57. A little late on making this post, but on March 30, I donated $1,005 🙂

    Looking forward to seeing that video you guys post!! 😀

  58. Hi Victor, how is Maggie doing? x

    1. Viktor Larkhill says:

      Hi Jenny… Maggie is doing well… this morning we had to sedate her again to cure her neck throughly… her injuries evolve well but she remains quite scared of people.. I need to take few pics, just have some of today´s procedure.. She´s well, up update soon.

  59. ken gaines says:

    I am sure your jobs, as vets, are so oftimes difficult, endless, even discouraging.Please always remember, you are doing God’s work, whoever you think God may be .You are admired, and yes loved and appreciated, for you do what we wish we could.

  60. Hi Viktor, how is sweet Maggie doing?? I know you are all so busy but if you could update on her soon that would be great. Thank you….and thank you for everything you do…

  61. Jennifer Cassill says:

    Anyone who would do this sort of thing to any animal is nothing but a pathetic, sadistic, evil, nasty, disgusting lowlife. Karma is a bitch and I know for a fact that what comes around goes around and whoever it was that did this WILL PAY UP FOR IT SOONER OR LATER!!! I pray you can save this sweet cat and help her heal and help her find a loving fur-ever home!! Thank you for all you and your staff do to help these animals and thank you to all who donate and share!! Please recover from this and live a long healthy and happy life with a wonderful family Maggie!!! XOXOXO

  62. jeanie Tottenham Tave says:

    Blessings love, healing..& a wonderful loving forever home..to Maggie!! ♡♡

  63. Please sweet Maggie pull through. You are loved. Praying hard❤️❤️❤️

  64. Kathy Witmer says:

    Where is Maggie located? Interested in helping.

  65. Sandra Grasley says:

    How is Maggie doing? Hope the news is good.

    1. Viktor Larkhill says:

      Dear Sandra, Maggie has been adopted in Germany. She is flying home very soon ..

  66. Ruth Garland says:

    I will continue to pray for Maggie, would love to give her a loving home, I am 73 and have 4 kittens and 2 adult cats, my cats come first just like my children were growing up. They are all well taken care of and I am so sadden by what has happened to Maggie, I so hope they find out who did this. God will take care of her! Thank you for all your help!

  67. Mary buron says:

    Please find who did this

  68. Donated!

  69. VIVIAN ELAINE VIGIL says:

    I AM PRAYING FOR MAGGIE TO RECOVER AND PRAYING WHOEVER DID THAT EVIL ACT TO HER GETS CAUGHT AND BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. >^..^< <3 🙂 POSITIVE VIBES AND LOVE COMING FROM DENVER, COLORADO. BE BRAVE LITTLE ONE AND CONTINUE TO FIGHT TO LIVE ,LIVE TO BE FREE AND PEACE AND HARMONY IN GOD'S FOLD AND EVERLASTING LOVE THROUGH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST

  70. This is so awful :/ I am praying for this poor little angel and I hope that the pathetic excuse for a human being who did this is brought to harsh justice. Anybody who could do this to an innocent animal deserves to have rubber bands put around THEIR neck. Love to you from Germany, Viktor.

  71. This is one of the worst things I have ever seen. I’m almost crying. I’m glad someone caught her and brought her in. It’s not a lot, but I gave $10.

  72. My heart is aching and breaking over this. How can anyone do this. What monsters are these. I pray for justice in the worst way to the scum that did that to her. Maggie, I am praying for you, hang in there and trust these wonderful people that saved you. I would love to take you but I am too far. you are beautiful. Headbonks from my three furballs.

  73. Anonymous says:

    That is really sick. What they did to her. They should spend, the rest of there life, in jail and get punished, for what they did.

  74. Thank you for saving Maggie!
    Does anyone know who did this?
    I didn’t see any mention of an identification or arrest. Poor baby! How can people be so cruel?
    🙁

  75. Denise Babjack says:

    I gave the first time Maggie’s story was posted. Thank you dear God, and the vet staff for saving her. Prayers being for continued healing and that one day you too will fin a LOVING, FOREVER HOME!!!!! xoxoxo

  76. Poor Maggie! I hope that her recovery is quick. My heart hurts for her. I am dumbfounded that people can be so cruel.

  77. Rui Almeida says:

    please do not call the humans to monstres who made this to the poor cat, humans are we!!!!

  78. Anonymous says:

    I would definitley adopt her if I could! We have four cats though.

  79. Marge Martin says:

    These photos of this innocent cat are despicable. The lowlife piece of garbage who did this should have the book thrown at them. Get some nice tight rubberbands and put them around his neck and maybe even other places. Prayers for Maggie to make a complete recovery. I do wish I could help but right now I am in debt due to the IRS and I am a widow on a pension.

  80. Just donated and praying for Maggie. Sending good vibes and thoughts from Northern California for a speedy recovery. God bless you Viktor!

  81. Shaunya Horton says:

    I could give her a a great forever home. I know I’m too far away but I hope someone will take this baby & love her & heal her heart

  82. I am glad she was found alive and is getting treatment. Including pain relief I hope ! Who ever has her, please make her a inside cat. One trauma in her life is enough ♥

  83. Paul Quartermain says:

    Thanks Victor, for doing so much for poor little Maggie Cat. I only hope that she does learn to trust humans again, but I’m sure she’ll now always be somewhat wary of strangers, & for the rest of her life. Sending love, peace & prayers her way, plus a small donation. I’m sure if Maggie no longer needs it there are plenty more tortured little souls that still desperately do. Keep up the great work @Victor. Paul:animal lover (of course!)

    1. Viktor Larkhill says:

      Many thanks, wonderful to meet you Paul…

  84. karen farish says:

    Bless her so sad why do humans have to be so cruel:(

  85. How is Maggy now??

    1. Viktor Larkhill says:

      Hi.. Maggie is well.. her injuries are very improved but she is still on treatment. I need to publish an update soon.. bear with me. Ah.. she has been adopted.. the moment she is out of the clinic she´s going straight home

  86. Although I live in poverty, I gave what I could. This story broke my heart as do all animal torture and murder stories. I already have more cats than I can take care of, as I feel they all need more love than one person can offer in a day (I have 6) but I do my best. Please Maggie, get better so you can find your forever home, and be loved and loved and loved.

  87. Has Maggie been adopted?

    1. Viktor Larkhill says:

      Yes, adopted in Germany.. she´ll be travelling home soon..

  88. Thank You !!!

  89. Pam Garlisch says:

    Is Maggie still afraid of people? I am so happy for her though! She will be treated royally!

  90. Carol Allaire says:

    I am NEVER AFRAID, when Animals are treated by Dr. Viktor..He is the BEST DOCTOR, God has given to us to HELP THE ANIMALS..I have been on this Website for a long time, I Love it and all the Staff working with Dt. Viktor, because they are there to Help the Animals, even though the Owners say to,put them down..I don’t like that word, so I hate using it..I can see Maggie is in terrible pain, while the person/s are probably laughing at us, but we know through Gods plans, that we do what we must, and fight for the Animals, just like if they were ours..I think it is terrible, but who know what others think..I hope it’s positive, but I will leave it there..I know Maggie is in for a complete recovery..She is a fighter, and with Our help, she will come out of this with Flying Colors..Till she is ready for people to Love her, and maybe be that Forever Parent, I will keep the Hope and Understanding, for where there is a Will, ther is a Way..I just want to Thank Dr. Viktor for his dedication for all the Animals in his Hospital, and when he has to rescue them, he is on his way..Not too many People do these things, but he does, and that is being a Good Person to me..I hope to hear from Dr. Viktor on the process of Maggie’s recovery, and I hope it doesn’t take so long, till she is ready to go..Maggie has gone thru a terrible piece of torture, something that’s notneeded her way..We must involve the people, to make sure nobody does the wrong things..Animals are People, they have everything we do, so if you feel pain, they do also..I will be going now, and again—-THANK YOU to Dr. Viktor and his Staff, for going out on the limb and rescuing Miss Maggie Mae.. Love everyone xxxxxxxxxx

  91. Thank you for the update and for saving Maggie. She is beautiful !

  92. Kim Worthington says:

    I am so happy to say that as many people who mistreat and hurt animals, there will always be us animal lovers and rescuers. Thank you Let’s Adopt and Viktor for you work. She looks amazing xxx

  93. Toni Hector-Zepeda says:

    Thank you so much for helping these precious helpless animals. I know as a rescuer there is only so much we can do for them and when we loose one there is tremendous sadness for that precious life we lost but the success stories are what keeps us going.
