A 3-month-old stray kitten found with severe burns likely caused by hiding in the engine of a vehicle is now being cared for by the Animal Rescue League of Boston.
The kitten, now named Cynthia, was rescued in late October after a good Samaritan spotted her in a grocery store parking lot in Dorchester. She was severely injured, with burns, lacerations and abrasions.
The ARL said Cynthia is amazingly resilient and friendly. They expect that she will make a full recovery, but there is no timeline for when she will be ready for adoption.
Cynthia's medical care is already in the thousands, according to the ARL. To donate, log onto https://arl.boston/arl-cynthia.
