This sweet cat lives at a veterinary center in Bydgoszcz, Poland. Before Rademenes was taken in by the veterinary center, he was living on the streets, and he was very ill. Rescuers found the little kitten, and they realized he had a bad respiratory infection. They brought him to a local veterinarian for treatment.

Since Rademenes was so young and sick, the veterinarian didn’t think he would survive surgery, and she considered putting him down. But then, Rademenes started purring, and the vet’s heart melted. She decided she would do whatever it took to keep this little cat alive.
