DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — A kitten that was set on fire earlier this year continues to recover and is now back in Dayton.

The update arrives from the Humane Society of Greater Dayton, who announced Joffrey’s progress and imminent return home on Monday. The cat had been a resident of The Ohio State University’s Veterinary Center, where he’d receive daily bandage changes, pain medication and antibiotics .

Boy do we have some fantastic news to kick off this week. After spending months at the Ohio State Veterinary Center – after many surgeries, operations and procedures – Joffrey is coming home to Dayton! Today, we picked him up from OSU and are bringing him home! We may have some more wonderful news to share tomorrow, but for now know this little guy has survived some of the most horrific things and has shown his fighting spirit over and over again! We never gave up on Joffrey and neither did any of you! This has been a fantastic day in the making! Thank you all for your support, your love and all the good thoughts you have sent this way! This little guy may still have a few challenges ahead of him, but he’s alive and getting a second chance thanks to all of you!!
