In a devastating fire, a four-week-old kitten named Crouton was left behind and trapped in a flooded basement. Thankfully, he was discovered the next day by fire investigators and handed over to the BCSPCA. Despite severe injuries, including third-degree burns to 35% of his body, the amputation of parts of his ears and tail, and burns to his face and right side, Crouton showed incredible resilience.

A constable at the BCSPCA refused to euthanize Crouton, recognizing that he had survived the night and deserved a chance. A foster, who was also a veterinary technician, stepped in to care for Crouton during his long recovery.

After only a few days, it became clear to both the foster and her husband that Crouton was a special cat with a bright spirit. They decided to make him a permanent member of their family.

Crouton's treatments continued for about six months, but all the hard work paid off. He is now fully healed, happy, and healthy, living with his nine cat siblings – all of whom were also rescues. Despite his physical differences, Crouton leads a normal and healthy life and serves as an inspiration to everyone he meets.
