After slipping out of a window several storeys up, he was given just a 10% chance of survival.
But the cat's parents were determined to see their pet back to full strength, and stumped up a massive £6,000 to pay for pins and supports to be implanted within the injured creature.
Now Sebastian has made a full recovery.

Patison Harrigan, who owns the cat along with his partner Katrin Toots, said: "I still can't believe he's got through it."
Sebastian tumbled out of Mr Harrigan's flat in Edgbaston, Birmingham earlier this year.
The cat was found by the RSPCA, who later traced its owners thanks to Sebastian's microchip.
He was then treated by vet Mark Barton from Manor Vets in Halesowen.
"He deteriorated quite rapidly over the first night. His injuries were critical," Mr Barton recalled.
"[Sebastian's owners] fed him through a tube at home, they were incredibly caring. It was hard work".
"He jumps a little bit higher now since the metal was put in him," Mr Harrigan added.
"He's become a bit bionic".
