On Thursday, a Denver kitten was found frozen after it was covered in snow in a neighborhood just north of LoDo. But thanks to heating pads and a hair dryer, and the help from Dumb Friends League, the lovely animal was brought back to life.

According to ABC Denver, Allison Baker spotted the kitten in the snow. Unsure whether the kitten was still alive, Baker put her on a heating pad and brought her to the shelter.

“Her temperature was not even registering on the thermometer, so it was below 90 degrees,” said Dumb Friends League Health Care Supervisor Morgan Schneider. “We put little booties on her and had a hair dryer.”

Veterinary staff even placed her in a bed of heating pads and warming bottles and administered warm IV fluids to get her temperature up.

“Even after about 45 minutes, her temperature still was not registering on the thermometer, so it was still below 90 degrees,” said Schneider.

After more than an hour of treatment, the kitten finally began to perk up and vets were able to stabilize her temperature and feed her some food.

“The most recent temperature was 102, so it was great,” said Schneider at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday.

She said cats temperatures should be around 101.5 degrees.

Staff at the Dumb Friends League has now named the kitten Elsa, from the character of the movie ‘Frozen.”

What a lovely story!
