00:00Mark Anthony is a straight cat who is found crying all alone in the snow in New York City.
00:03His front leg was severely infected and he was in so much pain that he could barely move.
00:08That's when Puppy Kitty in New York City rushed him to the vet and they spent weeks doing everything
00:12they could to help him. During his treatment they learned that he was FELV positive which
00:16is a diagnosis that unfortunately scares away a lot of potential adopters. And while they do tend
00:20to need a bit more love, cats who have FELV can still enjoy many years of a high quality life
00:25full
00:25of love, comfort, and play. Despite everyone's best effort to save his legs, the infection
00:29unfortunately had spread to his bones and his legs could not heal.
00:33You don't look great.
00:35So they made the tough decision to amputate and for Mark Anthony it was an instant relief.
00:39His physical pain was finally gone. After he recovered Mark Anthony spent months in the
00:44kennel waiting for someone to give him a chance. He saw so many other cats come and go while
00:48he was left behind. See Mark Anthony doesn't even know he has FELV and he probably doesn't
00:53even care that he's missing a leg. He's just a cat who's misunderstood and needs someone
00:57to believe in him. Now recently he has found a foster who is willing to help him.
01:01Good morning Mark Anthony. How are you today?
01:05He's finally getting the chance to feel safety and comfort of a home and he's made a lot
01:08of progress already. This video was originally going to be about why you should adopt Mark
01:12Anthony. But as I was putting together this video I just got the sweetest update. He will
01:16never have to roam the streets of New York City in pain ever again because recently he just
01:20found his forever home. His foster ended up falling in love with him and they decided to adopt him.
01:25Mark Anthony finally got the second chance he deserves after waiting so long in the kennel
01:30and I'm so happy for him.
