We told you the sad story of Doudou (renamed Riku). The poor kitten had suffered acts of abuse from his master before being rescued by the 30 Million Friends Foundation. Today, Riku is a young adult who is better off thanks to the benevolence of a volunteer from the shelter who took him in.
The city police stationPlane in the Pas-de-Calais called for help 30 Million Friends Foundation after discovering the abuse inflicted on Riku on June 28.
Indeed, when arriving in a dwelling following a report for domestic violence, the police had found the unfortunate “virtually in a coma, injured in the eye with bleeding. He suffered from a subdural hematoma and central neurological symptoms”. His master had punched him before showering him unceremoniously.
The foundation had then obtained the cessation of the animal by the owner and had entrusted it to the partner refuge of the Tilery.

After several weeks of struggling for life at the veterinary clinic, Riku had to learn to trust humans again.
Fortunately, Emelinea volunteer at the shelter, took him under her wing. “When we welcomed him, I took care of him a lot. After the trauma of his recent past, I wanted to give him lots of hugs. We had a crush. It’s kind of him who chose me.”said the young woman who finally adopted him.
The tomcat therefore shares his life today with a loving mistress as well as Soraa 9-month-old kitten who had meanwhile been abandoned in a parking lot.
“They immediately hit it off. It’s to the point where Sora washes Riku! They don’t leave each other anymore. It’s a pleasure to see them play.”told Emeline.

Riku has made great progress since moving to his new home, although there is still a long way to go. He is playful and affectionate with his benefactress, but is always afraid if Emeline makes sudden movements.
With the time and kindness of his adoptive mother, Riku flourishes day by day. A news that delights the members of the 30 Million Friends Foundation as well as the whole community that followed the painful story of the kitten.
