In The Condition She Was In, There Was No Way She Was Going To Survive On Her Own!

Found with twisted front legs there was no way she would ever survive. Rescued she was brought in for immediate care attention and hopefully rehabilitation.

Earlier this month, a tiny kitten was found with bears ears and twisted front legs caused by contracted ligaments and tendons in both wrists. She was rescued and brought to the Friends for Life Rescue Network, a rescue organization based in Los Angeles.

Knowing the one thing they could offer her was a chance at a good life, Mel Lamprey and her husband Zane, stepped up to help. They found right away this little girl was a snuggle-bug, wanting to immediate cuddles from the foster volunteer couple.

They gave her the name Quill and placed her on physical therapy sessions twice a day to help correct her legs.

Her tiny size had no impact on how she dealt with physical therapy. “Her wrists are warmed up with a heating pad. They are then massaged and stretched to relax the tendons and ligaments in hopes of re-aligning the growing bones,” Jacqueline DeAmor, founder of the rescue, explained.

–With her legs so badly twisted they needed to know she was not in any pain, that she had a chance at a better life.

Soon she will be place in weekly splints to improve and hopefully accelerate her range of movement. Nothing fazes this fearless feline, she faces all the challenges thrown at her and just keeps going.

One thing was clear soon after Quill settled in with her foster family, and that is how much she adores them. She has become a master attention-getter, once she gains the attention she wants she somehow manages to maneuver that attention right into cuddles.

“She’s silly, curious, sweet, and a foster daddy’s girl. She has him wrapped around her tiny fingers,” said Mel.”Foster dad always swoops in like the hero after a (physical therapy) session and cuddles her.”

Like all kittens, she loves to explore and play as much as possible.

She takes any and all opportunities to snuggle with Mom and Dad. As soon as she sees one or both of them walking by she will call out to be picked up, no is not an option when this happens.

The tiny love-bug likes to spend most of her day wrapped around Dad’s neck when not in physical therapy.

Another must is getting purrito style cuddles after every meal.

Mel and Zane already had a house cat, Chester, who they had rescued from a very rough start to life. The ginger tabby took to the new arrival right off the bat.

“He walked right up and sat next to her like they were best friends,” Mel said.

Sharing a common bond the pair commented a firm friendship. Chester immediately began looking out for the tiny kitten. Giving her lots of cuddles and making sure she is always kept clean.
