Dawn Firestone has an inspiring and heartwarming story to share about a small, helpless kitten that captured her heart. This tiny furball, barely a few days old with closed eyes, was found in a critical condition. But against all odds, this resilient little kitty defied expectations and proved to be a true fighter.
Dawn fondly recalls the early days, when she first laid eyes on the struggling kitten. "When I found him, he was barely breathing, gasping for air every 10 to 15 seconds.
In that moment, I made a promise to him, 'If you make it, I promise to give you the best life ever.' And then, he started meowing ever so slightly." Dawn named him Rocky.
Rocky's journey to recovery was far from easy. He was rescued just in time and had to overcome numerous challenges. One major obstacle was his difficulty with feeding. Dawn remembers those tough moments, saying, "I had to slowly dribble milk into his mouth, hoping that he would lick it.
It was a struggle. I would squeeze, he would suck, and then suddenly stop."
Despite these early hardships, Rocky's determination shone through. Day by day, he grew stronger, thanks to the love and care provided by his dedicated human family. Dawn proudly recalls, "He started eating a little bit of wet food and formula on his own, although he would still get it all over his face."
As Rocky improved, another concern arose.
