The cat named Kasper was burned over roughly 30 percent of his body in the Sept. 10 fire that destroyed the Deschutes River Woods home where he lived with Beau and Diann Hollowell, and their 5-year-old son.
Since then, Kasper has been living at the Animal Emergency Center in Bend.
Kasper has undergone multiple plasma transfusions and is now 80 to 90 percent of the way to being ready to go home — though the location of that home is unclear.
The Hollowells lost most of their belongings in the fire, and have been living in a travel trailer while they look for a new place.
