A compassionate cat brings a litter of kittens to a front yard, and among them is one who needs help to walk and run alongside his brother.
The hobbles kept his hind legs at a more appropriate distance, training him to walk and not “swim”.
His splints forced his front legs into a more anatomically correct position which allows him to walk and run on his feet. Milton adjusted quickly to being wrapped and took it all in stride.
Slowly but surely, he started to stand on his paws with the wraps on, as his legs became straighter and stronger.
After three weeks of treatment, Milton graduated from the wraps and turned into an unbridled ball of energy, tackling toys with all fours. “His back legs were properly under him and his front limbs straightened out nicely,” Jennifer shared.
“He’s walking on his paws (instead of the backs of his paws). He’s not swimming anymore and gets around fairly normally.”
Throughout their foster journey, the two kittens have never been apart. Nash has been a source of comfort and strength for his brother, keeping him company at all times.
They complement each other perfectly, like partners in mischief.
“Milton and Nash are the sweetest duo. They love to wrestle with each other, and when they’re sleepy, they snuggle up together and nurse the side of their bed,” Jennifer told Love Meow.
“They’re the most perfect boys and deserve the most perfect forever family.”
