After Being Deserted, This Day-Old Kitten Fights to Live and Finally Gets Adopted Along with His Siblings
Buzz did not get much of a chance at life before everything went wrong. Found with his siblings in a container in Vista, California, the day-old kitten was so tiny that his umbilical cord was still attached.
Love Your Feral Felines stepped in fast, but the first foster setup did not go smoothly, and the kittens quickly needed more help. That is when Amanda Hodder of Kitten Rescue Life drove for hours to take over, and Buzz, the shyest of the bunch, turned out to have the longest road ahead.
From a rough start to a surprising adoption, Buzz's story keeps getting better. Read on.
The little kitten was found with his siblings in a container in Vista, California
The kittens were around one day old.
Amanda shared that the four kitties had a rough start, as they were the smallest box babies so far. They were at least one day old, and the littlest one weighed just 80 grams. Amanda added that they were experiencing stomach issues, had difficulty maintaining their weight, and began to lose their appetite, which caused them to lose some weight.

After about a week of subcutaneous fluids, Albon, and Karo on their gums, they began to perk up.
Things finally started looking up for the tiny litter.
Hey, little one!
Thus, the little Buzz was given the name Fat Boy II. Fat Boy was somewhat of an introvert, and it took Amanda some time to finally get to know this particular kitten.
Fat Boy was an extremely shy kitty
Amanda shared on Facebook that Fat Boy is finally coming around. Unlike his siblings, he was extremely shy, and it took Amanda a long time to earn his trust and cuddle time.
It also reminds us of the abandoned Ed Sheeran lookalike kitten found in LA after a heavy downpour.

However, the name didn't quite fit him, as he was the only one among the "Appreciation Litter" that had difficulty gaining weight. He was also the last one remaining when each of his siblings was adopted.

To ensure that Fat Boy didn't feel lonely, Amanda sent him to another cat foster home to spend time with other felines. He was named "Fancy Boy" during his brief stay there.
That little detour gave him a better shot at settling in.

After many highs and lows, Fat Boy actually got lucky and found a home in a way they could never have imagined. A woman saw his photos on the internet and immediately alerted her friend Mallory, who had recently lost a feline that looked exactly like Fat Boy!

Mallory reached out to LYFF immediately, and after spending nine hours on the road, Amanda and Fat Boy finally arrived at Mallory's home in Reno, Nevada.
That was the moment everything clicked into place.
Cats are indeed adorable animals
And he has a home of his own
The strong kitty now goes by the name "Buzz" and is currently living his life with his sibling, Bolt. It was a long journey for Buzz, but we are glad that he has overcome his intense past and grown into such a bright and sweet kitty now.
Best of luck, Fat Boy! Do share Buzz's magnificent story with your animal-loving friends and family!
Buzz finally got the ending he deserved.
