Frankie Says Relax

I got Frankie when he was weeks old from the Hummane Society. He fit in my palm of my hand. I never had a cat before but I wanted to have an animal and we weren't allowed dogs, I figured I'd give it a go!
I soon found out that when Frankie was born, the mother had the litter in a park and abandoned them. They got into a fire that was being used to keep homeless warm. Some died, but my Frankie made it out!! If you look at his mouth you will see he is missing his whole bottom lip, and part of his ear. The Vet said it would cause tartar problems, but just to watch it.
Today is doing just fine and occasionally has big chunks of food stuck around his mouth but, is the cutest survivor kitty ever!!
