It's no secret that we love cats. They're adorable, they're funny, they're silly and full of character.

And, as people who adore cats wholeheartedly, there is not much more heartbreaking than seeing an injured or sick feline. We dread our fur babies becoming ill or hurting themselves, but unfortunately, it just happens sometimes.

Of course, when our pets are unwell, we do everything within our power to care for them and make them feel better. However, not all pet owners are so caring.

Sadly, it's all too common for people to give up on their animals if they become costly due to poor health. There are far too many stories about pets being abandoned or neglected because they have become unwell or injured, and their humans can't afford or don't want to give them the care and attention they need.

So we love to hear stories about pets who are lucky enough to have owners who go above and beyond for them. And this little kitten is about as lucky as they come.

Little Sonny was born with a protruding "crab eye," which had to be removed when she was just a baby. The sweet kitten has been fostered by a loving couple who has dedicated their time to ensuring Sonny receives the care and medication she needs.

Keep scrolling to meet the adorable little pirate cat and her foster parents below. Get ready to say, "Awww."

Meet Sonny!

"This is Sonny. We are fostering her. She has a crab eye. The doctors are going to remove it Monday. She has gained 2oz or 56g since we start fostering. She is a little baker with all the bread kneading she does."

Sweet Sonny was born with a protruding "crab eye."

Awww.

The eye had to be removed when she was just a baby.

Luckily, Sonny has been cared for by her loving foster parents.

Update!

"UPDATE on the majestic one-eyed foster kitten, Sonny. She is doing better. Oregon's Human society (OHS) gave her some pain meds and antibiotics that have been causing diarrhea. She was 1.9 lbs before last week but has dropped weight to 1.56 lbs. She is more energetic since the oral pain meds and they gave us a medication that will stimulate appetite. We apply it to her ear but we must wear gloves and we can't touch her for two hours after. So we plan on giving it to her tonight before bed so we don't have to worry about touching.

If you are in the Portland, Oregon area OHS is in need of volunteers. Find out more by visiting https://www.oregonhumane.org/get-involved/volunteer/."

We think you're beautiful, Sonny!

And, by the looks of it, so do your foster parents!

Ohh, that face!

Sonny has been receiving medicine and healing well.

She's gaining weight slowly, although the medication has knocked her around a bit.

The little tongue!

So much love.

Precious.

A ferocious lion.

Good luck, Sonny!

Could little Sonny be any cuter? We very much doubt it!

We hope Sonny will live a long and happy life with a forever family of her own. Every animal deserves to be cared for by such loving humans.
