A curious kitten who fell out of a Bronx mid-rise building is on the mend and will soon be ready for adoption. Two weeks ago the kitten, named Gilbert, nearly died after taking a hard fall seven stories from a building.
The four-month-old broke both of his front legs and fractured the upper roof of his mouth. Gilbert got a second chance at life thanks to a good Samaritan who found him and got him to the hospital.

"All in all he's a very lucky kitten," said Dr. Stephanie Janeczko of Animal Care and Control. "Extremely lucky!"
With two paws in casts, Gilbert has a few more weeks of recovery before he'll be able to walk out the door into someone's home. "Despite all of these injuries, he's going to be good as new," said Dr. Janeczko.
