Strunka luckily survived after being hit by a car and was taken to a shelter for homeless animals. She managed to survive despite serious injuries, such as a damaged eye and a maimed jaw. After long treatment and recovery, she was diagnosed with feline leukemia virus (FeLV). Despite this, Strunka remains a cheerful and sociable cat who appreciates affection and attention. She adores being petted and arches her back in pleasure.
