Thanks to the actions of two strangers named Kris S. and Nate P. went after a 20 year old male cat was seen floating on a piece of ice at the Nabnasset River on Monday.
Nate were able to use a rowboat to get to the area where the cat fell into the lake while using a shovel to break the ice and save the cat from dying from freezing by getting the cat out of the lake.
Both Nate and Kris took the cat indoors and warm the cat with blankets before Westlake Animal Control arrived to take the cat who is named Tiki to a veterinarian to be treated for shock.
Tiki may have been chased into the frozen lake by a person who preyed on the cat the night before and Tiki was stuck on a block of ice in the lake according to the animal control officers.

Thank goodness these two were around. I feel so bad for blind animals. It's bad enough when humans are. Someone preyed on this poor animal? Nerds to him/her.

I am in agreement with you that the person who tried to harm the cat will get what is coming to them.

I am amazed as well that an old cat is alive despite being left out in the cold overnight.

Poor Tiki! Bless the souls who rescued the cat. Both Kris and Nate ensured the first steps after rescue. Need to respect the fact these two took the cat toa veterinarian to get the treatment for shock. And Tiki was lucky to survive the ordeal. I cannot think about the normal cats undergoing the ordeal and here we read about a blind cat going through these. Hope Tiki could find a better home and have a better life than what she had so far. Thanks for sharing this news .It brings hope to humanity , especially during these times!

That is a sad indictment on that community if some miscreant was preying on an old, and blind cat; a sorry state indeed.
It was good the cat was saved, and will live to live another day, or more, without needing to use up another of its nine lives, at 20 years young.

You are right that someone who is evil would try to harm a cat.
