Kitten that was only given a week to live finds the purrfect forever home where he makes a stunning transformation: 'Broke my heart to see him like this so I adopted him'

One of the things that we have been saying for the longest time is that all cats deserve a chance. We know that most people, when adopting, look at adopting kittens, and we get it, we really do, but those other cats… the ones that we have been sitting in shelters, patiently waiting for their forever homes, they deserve a chance too. Senior cats deserve a chance, sick cats deserve a chance, even cats that have only been given one week to live deserve for that week to be the best week of their entire lives.

The latter is what this adopter decided to do. They had no reason to believe that the kitty would live longer than what they were told, but they took the kitty in anyway. And now, just look at the little guy. It's been much longer than a week, and although you could never know exactly how long someone has left, we think that this little fighter has decided that this forever home is worth living in much, much longer.

We cannot even tell you how much we appreciate people who take cats like this in. There was no reason not to believe the vets when they gave their diagnosis, but these people took this cutie in anyway. Without them, he wouldn't have found the peace and joy that he had, and maybe that diagnosis really would have come to fruition.

Some cats really do want to live. That have that something special about them, that spirit, that keeps them pushing forward even through the hardest of times. And you gave him a safe and warm place to fight. And to win.
