A kindhearted person noticed two little kittens all alone without their mother and waited for hours, hoping for her return. Unfortunately, she never came back. The Good Samaritan then took it upon herself to care for the kittens by bottle feeding them. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the kittens were missing limbs and sought help. Caroline Grace, who runs Baby Kitten Rescue, received a message with photos and decided to assist without hesitation.
The person who discovered the pair of cat siblings brought them to a rescue center in Los Angeles in hopes that they would be given the opportunity to live a healthy and complete life.
Upon their arrival, the kittens were in a terrible state. They were infested with fleas and were suffering from upper respiratory infections as well as severe gastrointestinal problems. According to Caroline, who spoke to Love Meow, Bunny, the female kitten, was without both of her front arms, while Otter, her male sibling, was missing part of his right front arm and several toes on the left front paw. The most probable cause of their condition is congenital malformation.
It’s amazing to see how cats with only two legs can still lead a happy life without any issues. Even kittens can quickly learn to hop around on their back legs like bunnies. Recently, Caroline took care of some cats and started them on medication, supplements, and wound care. Surprisingly, in just one day, their appetite improved, and they started moving around energetically in the nursery. It’s truly fascinating how much a little care and attention can improve their quality of life.
Otter is quite caring towards his sister, Bunny, and always makes sure to stay close to her. At bedtime, he would wrap his body around her to keep her safe and secure. Although Bunny is relatively smaller in size, she has a strong will to survive, and her resilience is quite admirable. As she gradually regained her strength, she began to display her affectionate side by purring frequently and seeking love from her foster mom.
Caroline from Love Meow shared that Bunny, the adorable feline, has the most powerful purr motor despite her tiny size. Bunny enjoys being cuddled and always makes eye contact while her foster mom talks and sings to her. Even though Bunny is missing her front paws, she still kneads biscuits with her little nubs and loves receiving kisses from her foster mom. While it may take Bunny some time to get used to walking without her front paws, she remains in high spirits and is working on strengthening her leg muscles as she wiggles around her cozy nest.
Caroline from Love Meow has shared that Bunny has a huge appetite and doesn’t mind pushing her brother aside, even though he’s much bigger than her. However, Caroline believes that Bunny will soon be running on her two legs. The siblings have been able to recover fully with lots of love and care. In the next two weeks, they will be assessed for physical therapy to help enhance their movement.
The two of them are beginning to engage in some playful behavior by play-wrestling. Otter, the male, is quite communicative and tends to react when I speak to him, often communicating his desires. On the other hand, Bunny, the female, is a bit more laid back and enjoys receiving belly rubs.
Bunny and Otter are doing exceptionally well and making significant progress. They are overjoyed to have a foster family that showers them with love and attention on a daily basis. According to Caroline, they adore cuddles and kisses and never tire of returning the affection in the form of endless purrs.
