Cici was just a few days old when tragedy struck—her mother passed away suddenly, leaving the tiny newborn orphaned and confused. Weak, cold, and clinging to the last scent of her mom’s fur, Cici cried through the night under the tall trees of the forest. The rest of the troop had already moved on, and little Cici was left behind, vulnerable and silent.
It was a local wildlife rescuer who first heard her faint cries in the early morning light. When they found her, she was curled up beside her mother’s lifeless body, too exhausted to move. Her eyes barely opened, and her breath was slow and fragile.
She was immediately brought into care. The first challenge was getting her to feed—without her mother, she refused milk at first, pushing the bottle away. But with gentle coaxing and warmth, Cici eventually began to suckle. The team wrapped her in a soft cloth and kept her close to a warm heater to mimic the comfort of a mother’s chest.
Days passed, and slowly, Cici started to show signs of strength. Her eyes became more alert, her tiny limbs stretched wider, and her cries grew louder—clear signs that she was fighting to survive. She even began to grip fingers and respond to touch.
Though her journey of healing has just begun, Cici is showing a strong spirit. The sadness of losing her mother remains in her eyes, but she’s surrounded now by care, warmth, and gentle voices helping her take her first steps toward recovery.
Cici’s story is one of deep loss, but also of hope—proof that even the tiniest, most broken hearts can begin to heal with love and time.
