Two rescued siblings، who are different from other cats، live life to the fullest with the help of their loving humans.
arm only has 1 toe and 1 claw، so it’s not very stable. So he doesn’t use that arm when he walks.”
He was born with an especially rare congenital defect called ‘Meningoencephalocele’
His skull never closed properly، leaving part of his brain protruding out of the hole in his skull
For his own safety، he wears a custom-made helmet to protect his brain
This kitten is so used to wearing it now، he doesn’t try to scratch at it or pull it off
Otter is an adventurer and enjoys exploring new places
He loves to play، snuggle and relax، purring whenever possible
Little Otter just had cutting-edge brain surgery to place his brain back into his skull and cover the opening with titanium mesh
He’s doing very well، enthusiastically taking care of his sister
To find out if Otter would still need to wear the helmet، we asked Caroline، and she told us that “Otter had to continue to wear his helmet for 2 weeks after the surgery to protect the incision. But now he no longer needs the helmet and will never have to wear it again.”
Bunny was born with congenital bilateral hemimelia، meaning she was born missing both of her forearms
The kitty has successfully adapted to her circumstances by moving on her back legs
Her disability even taught Otter how to stand on his rear feet too
There are several ramps dedicated for Bunny to get up onto the bed and couch، yet she jumps straight from the ground onto the bed or the couch
Seems like she is living her best life with so much joy and confidence every day
It has been incredible for Caroline Grace to see Bunny & Otter adapt to their disabilities so well
Both Otter and Bunny love each other so much and are a bonded pair
They snuggle together، groom each other، bird watch، and play together
They are such an inspiration for how resilient، adaptable، and happy they are
It makes Caroline’s heart burst with cheer and restores her faith in humanity
to see people so in love with these two kittens with special needs
