Okay, this is a HAPPY STORY but fair warning that it starts sad. But it ENDS HAPPY, I promise.

See the kitty above? The one with the adorable face?

This kitten was found by a roadside, abandoned and in desperate shape at just eight weeks old. He had been abused and thrown from a moving car.

He was found, and vets worked to save his life despite terrible injuries. One leg could not be saved. 

So they named the kitten FURIOSA.

Which, of course they did, because that is the best thing I have ever heard.

There was concern that no one would want the kitten. 

Here’s where the story gets happy. It turns out, EVERYONE wanted the kitten. As word got out, the Humane Society was inundated with requests to adopt Furiosa. 

And here’s my favorite part. A friend of mine, the wonderfully talented JOANNE ELLEN, prevailed, and she got to take the kitten home. Joanne is a comic book creator, she does a wonderful strip/graphic novel called RUMMBLESTRIPS, about the adventures of a girl and robot. Here’s her facebook page

So, once again, COMICS CHICKS RULE!

And the best part is, Furiosa is adapting beautifully to having a forever home, and two older sister cats. He’s happy, active, and remains completely, hopelessly adorable.
