kitten sleeping curled @catasticalmeows

Owen was very small for his age, but he had a lot of fight in him. They came home that day loaded with supportive care to help him get over this hump.

After a couple days of fluids, medication and syringe feeds, Owen started to perk up. As his appetite returned, his big voice was also restored.

He would scream at mealtime like he used to and groom himself again with his newfound strength. His coat was getting healthier and shinier, and he was back to making steady gains.

“When he started eating on his own and demanding food every few hours, we knew he had turned a corner,” Erin told Love Meow.

“His weight was finally going up and not down. He started at 566g (at intake) and dropped drastically to 485g in a matter of a day. He has rebounded and now is 740g.”

Owen’s energy level has picked up nicely, and his playful side has reemerged. He bounces around as if he had springs under his feet. He adores his people and is eager to have a constant buddy to play with.

If Owen does something mischievous and gets caught, he will keep going and won’t let anything stop him.

“His favorite thing to do right now is escape his playpen. It’s almost a game to him. Once he escapes and sees you, he’ll run around the room like the muffin man, catch me if you can.”

When Owen tires out from all the antics, he’ll curl up sweetly on his foster mom and doze off to the sound of his purrs. To Owen, there’s no place more comfortable to nap on than his people.

“You can’t help but laugh and fall completely in love with him.”

Once Owen is clear to socialize with other kittens, he will have two foster buddies awaiting him. He’s making great strides, getting stronger and bigger each day.

“He will make someone really happy and bring so much joy to his future forever home.”
