Henry was just four weeks old when he was abandoned on the street. He weighed only 110 grams, which is only a quarter of his body weight. He was critically ill and dehydrated and barely moved or made any noise. When the rescuers from Best Friends Felines found him, it seemed like Henry had already given up on life. But against all odds, this little miracle kitten refused to give up.
Henry was immediately taken to the vet and given fluids and antibiotics. He was also put on a special diet to help him gain weight. The vet said Henry’s prognosis was good but would be a long road to recovery.
Henry battled the gastrointestinal disorder around the clock with supportive care. He was so tiny, but he put up quite a fight. He grabbed the bottle like a champion and calmly accepted all challenges.
Henry wanted to explore everything as soon as he felt confident in his legs. He was absorbing. He considered everything and was drawn to people.
Although he was a fighter, Henry’s road to recovery was not without its setbacks. He contracted an infection and had to be hospitalized for a week. But that didn’t stop him from bouncing back and continuing to grow stronger daily.
After a few weeks of treatment, Henry started to improve. He began putting on weight, and his energy levels started to increase. He even started playing with the other kittens at the rescue!
It took months of care, but eventually, Henry made a vital recovery. He is now a healthy, happy kitten who loves to play and cuddle. His story inspires everyone who meets him and reminds us that even the weakest among us can be vital when we need to be.
