Our three-footed cat, Sparkle

When we got to the Humane Society, Sparkle climbed up the inside of the cage and into my heart.

It was only after the papers were half signed that we realized our tiny silvery kitten had only three feet. No one knew what had happened before her rescue but, at 8 weeks old, the wound had healed. By then she had us hooked.

Sparkle doesn't know, or care, that she only has only one back foot. And, to her, the strange gait is quite normal. She can do anything a four footed cat can do; she can scramble up to a top of a bookshelf for a nap, or scoot under the couch to play, "Jungle Kitty" with our feet. We are so glad she chose us to share her life.
