In a heartbreaking yet inspiring story, a cat named Peggy was recently discovered in critical condition, her injured leg infested with maggots. Despite her severe injury, Peggy showed an instinctive will to survive, even attempting to escape from those who came to help. Without immediate intervention, her chances of survival would have been extremely slim.
