She Had Done Her Best To Keep Up With Mom, But With Her Legs Splayed Out, It Was Next To Impossible!
Probably abandoned because she could not keep up, a stray kitten was doing her best to walk. But with her legs splayed out, it was almost impossible!
Seeing the struggle she was going through, a Good Samaritan picked her up and took her to get the help she so desperately needed.
The tiny feline was diagnosed with a rare condition called swimmers syndrome, a developmental abnormality. Because she was so young and pliable, her future outlook was good, but only if she had immediate therapy.
An all-volunteer rescue organization called Love Your Feral Felines based in North San Deigo County, California, was contacted about the unsteady walker.
