about two months ago Penny RichardsA foster volunteer with the Arlington Animal Welfare Federation has adopted three kittens in dire need of around-the-clock care. one of them was very small.

“When we moved him out of the carrier and into the incubator, we immediately realized that Sebastian[puppy]was half the size of our sisters,” Penny told Lovenya. “His eyes were popping out of his skull and he barely moved around.”

Sebastian was emaciated and badly dehydrated, but against all odds he mustered what little energy he had to eat.

“I was really surprised to find out that he could hold onto a bottle and drink three milliliters by himself. ‘, said Penny.

“This strength showed that he had the will to live and was ready to fight me through.”

This little fighter could eat small meals around the clock. Twenty-four hours later, he regained his vigor and began to chew on his blanket when it was time for him to feed. “He was crawling around in an incubator and climbing on top of his sister.”

Sebastian was steadily making a profit while being treated for an infection. His energy level increased significantly and he started looking for food.

“He wanted to eat and get stronger. He wanted to get better so he could play with his sisters Annette and Kathryn.”

A week after arriving, Sebastian’s weight had more than doubled. He looked very happy with clear eyes and a plump belly. “He put a lot of effort into this round body and vibrant spirit.”

Sebastian was the first to scream for food. As soon as he finished eating, he purred non-stop and rolled around on his adoptive mother and had all the pets and bellies rubbed.

Around the 4th to 5th week of life, the points of the frame/cream began to appear, and the character began to blossom.

Sebastian soon adopted another rescue kitten, Blaine, who was found alone outdoors. Blaine was overjoyed to have her close friend.

Sebastian’s rumbling motor seems unstoppable. Penny likes to rub her face and stare into her foster cat’s eyes while sharing her lap with the other kittens.
