Champ was fitted with a small red sock to prevent any rubbing or chafing from the genius device. Now he can scoot around with his foster brothers and sisters like any other rambunctious kitten! "They just fell in love with him and accept him just the way he is," said Terry Peck, founder of CARMA, about the foster family. "Humans could learn a lot from animals."
