The Tiniest Houseguest

Meet Jiji, one of the luckiest kittens ever born on a Korean street.  She was found under a car outside our friend's business when she was only about 2 weeks old - with a completely smashed eye.  He took her in, got her vet care, and hand fed her kitten formula from a syringe several times a day for 2 weeks, intending to keep her.  When his dogs started harassing her, he called us.  She's actually going to live with another friend soon, but in the meantime she is hanging out at our place.  The difference in just the 5 days we've had her is enormous - her fur is getting fluffy and shiny, you can't feel every rib anymore, and the swelling in her bad eye has disappeared so she can open and close it like normal now, even though it's still blind.  She loves to play and to cuddle, is a huge ham, and is very smart - I suppose you'd have to be to survive the rough start she had before getting taken off the street!  It's going to be hard to give her up, but we're thrilled she is going to another great home.
