A kind young woman went for a jog but came home with a tiny stray kitten who desperately needed lots of help, love and TLC. It is amazing how much one's life can be transformed with a second chance.

"(I) went for a jog and found this little guy with his eyes sealed shut from an infection," said dmitrigreene via imgur. "I gave him a bath, but he was so dehydrated he was trying to drink the water."

"The next day, he was sitting up, but still had a hard time holding his head up. This was when I was really worried he wasn't going to make it through..."

The kitty was so small that his face was the size of a teaspoon.

She gave him a very needed flea bath and fed him water to help him cope with dehydration. She named the little buddy Dmitrius.

The next day, he was still not out of the woods and was having a hard time holding his head up.

Once he got his appetite back, things slowly started to improve.

Dmitrius is not in the play mode yet, but is starting to get interested in things around him.

Then suddenly he starts to play in his mom's lap and clings to her wherever she goes.

Another flea bath! "Slowly figuring out how to groom himself...He still isn't very good at it since he never had a mom to teach him."

All cleaned up! What an adorable little guy!

Dmitrius taking his first trip in mommy's shoes.

He never wants to leave his mom alone.

And he follows her around, demanding lap time.

A kiss to his favorite person in the world!

He's very affectionate and loves being cradled like a baby.

This is what Dmitrius looks like today! Healthy, happy and loved!

What a handsome kitty he has become! Share this beautiful story.
