Fluffy the cat was discovered in a snow bank on January 31.
Fluffy was frozen in the ice. The low in nearby Whitefish, Montana, "was a bone-chilling 8 degrees," according to one report.
The area had received 16 inches of snow during the month.
Dr. Jevon Clark, who works at the Animal Clinic of Kalispell, told ABC News that when Fluffy's new owners brought her in, she was so cold that her temperature didn't even register on a thermometer.
Fluffy's temperature registered at a bottom range of 90 degrees.
Dr. Clark says normal temperatures for cats are around 101 degrees.

Fluffy was taken to the emergency room when doctors realized her temperature was still too low after about two hours of using warm water and blankets.
A few hours passed before she finally began to show signs of recovery.
Just look!

That's probably for the best.
