With students away, animals reign at the University of Pennsylvania. As if Lentil wasn't cute enough, meet Elvis - the boy kitten who lived. After a dangerous ingestion of some dastardly lilies, this year old kitten needed cat dialysis, which shockingly is a thing. Owner Paula Armstrong turned to Dr. JD Foster, one of the many miracle doctors at Penn Vet. The doctors then determined that Elvis needed a new kidney, and the search for a donor began.

Elvis struggled heroically for weeks, including a 'House' style operating table death, but with the help of medicine and regular injections he has finally recovered to his precocious self. Grab some tissues and read more about this heart-warming story here or here! Long Live The King.
