OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — In late December, a young cat named King was left with burns to about 50% of his body after being rescued from a house fire.
After intensive care from the Nebraska Humane Society, including the successful use of tilapia skin as a bandage, NHS said Sunday that King has healed enough to go home.
"He'll finish recovering in comfort, at home with his family, and surrounded by attention," NHS said in a Twitter post.
While King will need check-ups, stitch removal and at least one more surgery, NHS believes healing at home is what's best for now.

We have a great update on King!

He still looks a little rough, and will need check-ups, stitch removal and at least one more surgery. But we know that healing at home is the best medicine for him right now. pic.twitter.com/fJlWrmieyE
