Cat who was hit by a car and buried, EMERGES from his grave and finds forever home!
This is one miracle cat!
Bart was one and a half years old when he was found hit by a car. After being presumed dead, he was buried.
5 days later, he shows up in his neighbor's yard, alive!

"He had dug himself out of the grave and slowly made his way back home, albeit weak, dehydrated and in need of medical attention," Humane Society of Tampa Bay wrote on their blog.
Bart was brought to Humane Society Tampa Bay's Animal Health Center where staff quickly began treating him for a broken jaw, open facial wounds and an eye that wasn't salvageable, but HSTB veterinarians expected him to recover.
After learning about his previous home environment and the circumstances leading up to his burial, the HSTB decided to find this cat a new home.
A few days after Bart arrived, he surprised everyone by taking a few bites of food.

Day by day Bart started to get stronger.
In a few weeks, he was walking about, greeting people and staff with friendly meows and chirps!

"When we went to visit him, he was cleaning himself and full of meows and headbutts for us," HSTB said in an update. His personality was starting to shine through.
He was eating and using the litter box like a good boy. You could tell he was feeling better by his playful and loving attitude.

"He is a courageous, friendly, silly and affectionate kitty who greets us each day with happy enthusiasm and makes us laugh with his goofy way of jumping on our keyboards and trying to eat our lunches," HSTB wrote.
Today, HSTB was legally granted ownership of Bart. Hours later, his foster family made his place in their home permanent!
Bart bonded with a feline sister and a feline brother at his foster home, and now they will be together forever.

Bart now weighs twice as much as he did when he was rescued. And now he'll get all the warmth and love he could ever need.
