Despite Odds, Cat Reaches Healthy 2nd Birthday

Despite Odds, Cat Reaches Healthy 2nd Birthday

When Curious George was just a kitten, vets learned that he had a broken pelvis.

“The poor wee thing was still managing to run and jump around on it!” says his foster parent Amie Whiting of Christchurch, New Zealand. “The vets were pretty adamant that he was going to be put down, but we said, ‘no way!’ ”

After two months in a crate with as little movement as possible (“Seriously, try keeping a 3-month-old spastic kitten in a cage!” says Whiting.), his bones had knit, and he was finally healed.

“Celebrating George’s second birthday after he was destined to be put down is pretty awesome, especially because he is such a kooky, weird little dude.”
