abandoned kitten

You should have seen it in person, Suzzz. Jerry can be onery, but he has his sweet side too.

Those pictures are too sweet. Benny looks like a real love bug. Jerry looks like he understands that Benny is a little fragile.

Benny is looking much better than he did in your very first pic of him. His facial fur is growing back quick nicely. He is quite small for his age, and I suspect the cause was lack of proper nutrition before you got him. No idea if he'll ever 'catch up' with other kitties his own age sizewise or not, he might just be destined to be a little guy. If he doesn't 'catch up' he'll just be a precious little lovebug. Wonderful things DO come in small packages!
Hi Jerry just made me smile and go Awwwwww.......

Was he playing in "Being Silly"?

He was playing a little bit, and rolling around on the fleece blanket--kind of showing off for the big kitties.

Oh, that's so cute! Nothing like having big brothers around to make a young'un do his best to impress. What a great motivation for our babe to get better!

Benny is lying on my lap right now, and purring up a storm. His eyes are clear, his fur has grown back on his nose, and we can pet him without feeling every bone in his spine. We think he's gonna be ok.

Sounds like, can you give us some snaps of Skinny.

Wonderful news!

I can't handle the skinny boy yet without welding gloves. Tomorrow I'll try for some time washing his face w/ him wrapped in a towel. For the rest of you Mutties, Kevin and I caught a little feral kitten today. I'll put up a new thread about that in a few minutes. Maybe I'll try for a snap of him in his kennel, just for a before and after kind of thing.

I am so thrilled to hear Benny is loving your attention and purring up a storm for you. I had a feeling about him.....and this proves it. I'd love to see a pic of him now that he's filling out and much better.

I'll be trying for new pics today. I was going to try yesterday, but my cat Ace wouldn't leave us alone. Ace is NOT tolerant of other cats, and I didn't want him to hurt Benny. I also may try for a "before" shot of Lennox.

Feeling better--gotta love those toys.

OMG. Benny doesn't even look like the same cat.

OMG, indeed he doesn't! Why, his ears almost fit him now!

I've overwhelmed by cuteness. Benny, you're doing great. Way to go, kid!

He definitely does look so much better.

He sure does! It won't be long now before his true personality starts to show up........hope you're ready for kitten antics from him gbste.

Benny with his foster bros. Walt the lab pup was giving him kisses earlier, but that interaction was too wiggly to photograph, or even video. Benny likes Walt a lot. (The tuxie is Mr. Tony Rings, the orange tabby is Jerry, the other orange boy almost out of frame is Errol Feline.)

Too precious.

Benny looks positively blissful!

Well, he's certainly the warmest kitty in that pile.

They all look so HAPPY!

Too cute.
