An orange tabby with two twisted back legs was brought into Chatons Orphelins Montréal earlier this year, in need of help.
Despite being unable to use his hind legs to walk, the kitten refused to let it limit him. He would try to lunge at a feather toy and chase after it, giving it his all and playing his heart out.
With the help of volunteers and veterinary staff, the kitten received much-needed medical care, so he would have a chance to walk and run like any other cat.
“Rubbix (the kitten) was very small and young when we got him. He didn’t notice any difference,” the rescue shared with Love Meow.
“We wanted to give him every chance to have a normal life he deserves. He had surgery on both hind legs to prevent his condition from worsening as he grew older. It was a success.”
Just one day post operation, the kitten was already up on all fours and decided he would take a stroll around the clinic. Over the next couple of weeks, he continued to heal and make great strides in the comfort of a foster home.
“Despite having to endure the Cone of Shame, he was always in good spirits, running and jumping around with his now functioning back legs.”
Around that time, a dilute tabby named Mabrouk came to the rescue after he had been found wandering outside all alone. The 10-week-old kitten was in need of medical attention and a lot of TLC.
“Even though he had always been outside before he came to us, he cried nonstop and constantly wanted to be catered to,” the rescue shared.
