Fort Langley, Canada
When the TinyKittens Society found a starving nine-week-old kitten
suffering from a terrible injury to his back legs, they were shocked he
was still alive. But his rescuers refused to give up on him. After ampu-
tating the cat’s back legs, his medical team constructed slings, splints,
and eventually a set of mini wheels to give his back end a lift and keep
him mobile.
Throughout the process, the team documented the cat’s progress
on social media. He had tons of fans! People from all over the world
sent ideas to help the kitty’s mobility. Nobody would have guessed that
after seven months of intensive physical therapy, the miracle cat—now
called Cassidy—would be able to get around without the help of his
wheels. These days he scoots around on his two front paws. Except
when he’s tired, of course—then he hitches a ride on his new family’s
robotic vacuum cleaner.12 MAY 2017
