Sebastian has lived a life that would not be the envy of most cats...until now. Without any choice, he has had to start his life over 3 times and no cat likes change. When he was 10, at around the time of his diabetes diagnosis, his human "Mom" became pregnant and couldn't keep him. She brought him to a kill shelter. He was very quickly rescued by an SPCA in Maryland and became the foster cat of Stefani Olsen where he was loved and remained for over 3 years. Things changed due to reasons beyond anyone's control in his foster home and with a heavy heart his foster mom turned to DCIN to ask Venita to make Sebastian "Mr. November" 2013 in hopes that someone would adopt this quirky and wonderful 13 year old kitty. I had lost my first sugar kitty, Alex, 6 months earlier and never thought I'd adopt another diabetic cat so quickly but with one look at his face and I think a little nudge from Alex my heart made the decision (in a heartbeat) to make Sebastian part of my family. I adopted Sebastian Purrbox on Dec. 15, 2013. Sebastian has become such an important part of my family. He is VERY loved by me and his siblings, Jake and Dylan. He is still quirky and weird; he wants what he wants. But he is the one who always greets me at the door when I've been out. He is a one-cat welcoming committee in my building. He is crazy funny, affectionate, and he has the best purr ever. Sebastian is a super duper extra sweet boy. I love him with all of my heart and need him as much as he needs me. He is my very best friend and I consider myself to be the lucky one to have him in my life.
