Cosmo
"Cosmo showed up to the vet clinic in appalling condition - hypothermic, dehydrated, anorexic, covered in fleas and was anemic. It took 2 weeks of intensive nursing care to get him looking somewhat like a normal kitten again. On day 4 we almost had to let him go, but he had other plans. A few hours later he finally began to eat on his own! He began gaining weight and colour started filling into his gums. Our little Cosmo is a fighter, and my grandparents fell in love with him and ended up adopting him! Once he grew a little bigger and his little body started to fill out we realized that Cosmo wasn't a he but a she!"
