Aaimina, (“ah-MEEN-ah”) the Somali name for “feel safe” was found in the high desert by someone who feeds feral cats there. This emaciated girl crawled up to her in search of a hand out. The kind person had no dog food but offered her what she could. Eventually, she was able to coax Aaimina into her car to get her to safety.
Aaimina is suffering from severe malnutrition. She is a very young girl who craves human affection and gave kisses to her rescuer. She is not feral and clearly belonged to someone at one time but had no collar or microchip. Aaimina is receiving life-saving care but requires blood testing, xrays, vaccines, deworming and, when she is stronger, spay surgery. For now, she is decompressing in a safe place.
