This is Justin. He's tough, he's cute, and his story is going to break your heart.
Baby Justin was found at five weeks old in Philadelphia after being the victim of heinous abuse. He had been set on fire.
He was brought to the Pennsylvania SPCA, and with the help of the Animal Alliance of New Jersey, vets and volunteers have worked tirelessly to help Justin get better.
Vets used laser treatments on him to help him make a speedy recovery.
Understandably, he was a little reluctant to embrace the fashion statement that is the cone.
But after a few weeks at the veterinary clinic, Justin was doing great. He was eating on his own, playing, and was ready to be discharged to a foster home.
Like anyone as cute as him would, Justin made fast friends with his foster family, even snuggling up on the couch.
As he healed, his luxurious coat started to grow in.
He soon developed a love of learning, and made sure to get in on the homework action.
He's a ferocious hunter.
I mean really, just look at that concentration!
And even at a young age he's mastered the "if I fits I sits" lifestyle.
He's a big fan of hugs.
And he really likes his foster parents who have helped him grow into his handsome, healthy self.
But mostly he likes being a normal, adorable cat.
Oh, and snuggling. He really likes that.
And so we say thank you, Justin! You're an inspiration to us all.
We wish you and your foster family the best of luck!
