Jenay Chartier, a Macomb County Public Works employee, discovered a cat in need of help in a cul-de-sac north of Detroit. Examining the cat, he found the back legs, one front leg and tail were frozen and stuck in the snow. He managed to free the little black cat with towels and water and took it to work for the rest of his shift.
Jenay’s colleague checked the cat (named ‘Freezy’) for fleas and mites before Chartier took it to the vet where it was estimated to be one to two years old. Freezy’s story went viral on Facebook and drew attention from Macomb County Public Works Commissioner Candice Miller who reminded pet owners to keep their animals inside during the cold weather.
Jenay said
“Maybe it was just meant to be. I just want him to have a good life.”
Cat rescued in Chesterfield Twp. is frozen to the ground, ‘almost alive’
Jenay Chartier was driving through what would become a new subdivision in Chesterfield Township when she saw something black in the middle of a cul-de-sac. He wondered if someone had dumped the trash, so he parked his work truck to check it out. “Before I opened my door, I was like ‘Oh, my God, it’s a cat!”
