Scottie the kitten was found in Arizona without hind legs. His foster mom, Nikki, was worried about how he would live a normal life, but Scottie was a determined little guy.
He didn’t want to be alone and cried until Nikki let him sleep in her room. Scottie quickly adapted to his new home, even learning to climb up and down the stairs to Nikki’s bed.
However, Scottie’s little nubs would get bumped and hurt, so Nikki’s grandma, a former ballerina, came up with the perfect solution: custom booties with rubber traction! Scottie wasn’t sure about them at first, but he quickly realized they helped him run and play without pain.
With his new booties, Scottie was unstoppable! He even learned to climb the cat tree, one level at a time. After two months, Scottie’s nubs had healed, and he no longer needed the booties. He was ready for his forever home.
Moses, a man with a kitten named Scout, saw Scottie’s story and fell in love. He flew Scottie first class to his new home, where Scottie quickly became best friends with Scout. Nikki was sad to see Scottie go, but she knew he was going to a loving home where he would be treated like the “pampered little prince” he was.
This heartwarming story shows that even with a disability, animals can thrive with love and support. Scottie’s determination and Nikki’s and her grandma’s creativity are a reminder that anything is possible.
