Although he was hardly bigger than a chapstick when he was rescued from the bushes near a house, he fought his way to good health and happiness.
Stuart Little had been abandoned in the bushes with his mother and brothers, all of whom were considerably larger than him when he was discovered. Stuart Little was taken in by Fabulous Felines NWA and discovered to be utterly immobile. Nobody knew if he’d make it or not.

“But we had to give it our best go,” they said.
“Stuart Little was rescued from the streets by a Springdale neighbor in August and brought to me with his mother and six littermates”. “The mother was underweight and semi-feral, and the kittens were in desperate need, Stuart Little being the worst of them all,” rescuer Amanda Rhea said.
The fur on his face and head did grow back, and he gained weight in less than a week.
“I went ahead and had her spayed and relocated to Cat Haven Ranch for her own safety and well-being because the mother cat stopped nursing her kittens and wasn’t interested in eating,” says the owner. “Until a surrogate mother could be identified, I bottle-fed the kittens.”
Stuart Little’s human foster mother received some assistance from Bessie, a loving feline surrogate.
Age 6 weeks old. Stuart Little’s body still hadn’t caught up to his head yet.
About 8 weeks old, having grown to a healthier weight over the course of a month since the last time he was shown with a ChapStick.
Stuart was put in a loving, forever home.
