A stray kitten whose ears were burned off two months ago has a new home, according to BARCS Animal Shelter in Baltimore.

Duckie-- whom BARCS volunteers believe was hurt intentionally, as there were minimal injuries on the rest of her body-- went home with her new mom on Monday.  

"A big thank you to all who donated to Duckie's care," BARCS wrote in a Facebook post. "The outpouring of love and support allowed us to not only cover her medical costs, but also the costs of so many more dogs and cat at BARCS. You made this day possible." 

Duckie was found nearly lifeless in August on a window sill. The pads on her feet were burned, her ears were freshly burned from the tips down and her whiskers were singed.
