He was born into a home with so many cats that the homeowner had little money to care properly for. PAWS got an emergency call that one of the litters of kittens was dying, so a volunteer went and got the litter. They had so many fleas that they had sucked all of the kittens blood (flea anemia) and the kittens were dying. The entire litter were given fluids and force fed, but all died during the night except for Chance. He was syringe fed (forced feeding) for 2 days until he was strong enough to eat on his own. He is steadily putting on weight daily and has gained more than Charlie and Chester now.
UPDATE: Chaz and Gracie have been added to the group. Charlie and Chester have been adopted.
