Before and after of Jackpot
Here is the original story we posted below. 
The suffering 😞 never ends.
One of our longtime dedicated fosters reached out early this morning July 24th by messenger and this is what she said
“My boss just found a skinny kitten in the middle of the road on the way to work and is on his way in with it. (he was actually coming out of a tipped over trash can that was on the side of the road of a neighborhood with several unaltered cats having kittens)
Mike is setting up a crate in our bathroom. We will figure out a space: Not sure if ASAP is able to support right now and I’m not sure what condition but I couldn’t say no. Guess I’ll figure it all out later. I’ll send more information when have it.”
Of course we said yes. As soon as the kitten got to her workplace, she grabbed it and went straight home and got to work on him. He is such a little boy that most likely has never eaten on his own and only nurse from his mama. So as you can see the one video, they finally got him to figure out how to eat. This is such a victory 😃
And as she states she figured it out. As you can see in the pictures and video this little guy is in bad shape.
If Only people would spay and neuter we wouldn’t have this problem that becomes everybody else’s problem.
So again we are asking for donations. We know you are tired of it, but we are also frustrated and exhausted. And even though it’s not your fault or our fault, we still have to continue to do our best.
The Foster has named this little boy Jackpot, and that’s exactly what happened to him this morning. So this one will be fine. This one will make it, but there are many out there that won’t and we can only do so much😞.
In the last few weeks, this boy has made a miraculous recovery and transformation and he truly did hit the jackpot. He was one lucky boy, and with a quick actions of the finder and our foster parents. He will have a full loving life
He was given a lot of TLC, medicines, vitamins, high calorie food and now he’s looking for a home. Jackpot is now been neutered, utd on shots, given rabies vaccine, he is -4FIV/FELV, wormed and flea treated and his adoption fee is $75 cash 
We believe he is a young 12 week old boy and he is ready for a family. He’s very sweet and loving and has acclimated well to the Foster‘s cats and dogs and would probably love another playmate in the home.
He is still in his foster home, but we can arrange a meet and greet if you are interested in him.
When you adopt from ASAP, you sign a contract agreeing that our cats cannot go outside or live outside and they cannot be declawed. We want them to be treated like family members and well loved.
Also, if you have existing pets, we recommend to acclimate slowly and here is a link that will guide you through that process.
