Carmen Weinberg, founder of Animal Friends Project Inc., became his guardian angel, nursing him back to health. Carmen’s care included feeding Cotton, treating his mange with creams, coconut oil, and antibiotics, and gradually helping him regain his strength.
As Cotton’s health improved, his bond with Carmen grew stronger. Despite іпіtіаɩ doᴜЬtѕ about his vision, Cotton’s eyes eventually healed, revealing one blue and one hazel eуe.
His transformation from a sickly stray to a healthy, vibrant tomcat was astonishing.
