September two years ago I saw a post on lost and found group someone needing help taking over care for a 3 week old kitten from a farm. I thought about it clearly not for long and offered to take the kitten. Omg what was i thinking sitting in the car. So it began. my husband and and took turns bottle feeding every 3 hours . after his vet checkup he became Silvio. Shortly thereafter he got really sick with an URI. He slept with us and soon he recovered. At around 6 weeks we started weaning him and he got sick again. This time we really were worried considering a medical issue. Within a month again Silvio was sick again and we started to see a specialist. As Silvio grew our local vet finally saw the problem a soft cleft palate. We were devastated Then up to uc Davis and we’re hopeful. But after extensive testing it proved too complex to repair. That was a year ago now and as Silvio is getting older he’s having much less infections. He’s the love of our lives. We cherish each day we have with Silvio
