I am a foster mom of kitten rescue for several years. In September I received a pregnant Manx who delivered 4 beautiful kittens. Around 1 week of age, I noticed a "sore" on one of my kittens (rumpy riser). The vet said it was a pressure sore and not to worry. Well, I am a RN so I did worry and watch. The next week, I noticed that I would lift up one of the kittens by the scruff of the neck and the legs were withdrawn. I returned her to the shelter and the answer was, give her time. To make a long story short, I did. 4 months later, I love this little girl so much and she has taught me that she "can do it" She can climb with her front legs and run on her back knees better than anything I have seen. She is incontinent of urine so I have her in premie diapers and she is with me all the time. I just can't agree or express the feeling of love and courage she has given me. She will be sent to a Manx rescue sanctuary this week and I will cry. Tiny Dancer will always be in my heart and she gives so much more love to me than any other cat I have had. Please, keep telling people, you don't have to kill your cat because he is disabled. He will return the love ten times over. I want to thank you so much for you stories.

I express her bladder and bowels, and take her for walks in her special wheelchair. Reading your site was especially touching to me because I have some of the same joys and challenges that you do. Feel free to email mem id love to swap stories and tips! I’ve been taking care of a handicapped cat since 2006, when my little Miracle Pig was hit by a car and paralyzed.

(And side note: you were right about the watering. We had knocked out two sprinkler heads to make our swing set area and the lawn misses them). We are loving the patio. :) lol! my favorite part: “She thinks we can’t see her but only her head is behind the drapes and the rest of her is sticking out, very funny!”
