Special Needs Cat Rejected By His Mom

Otter is a special needs cat who was rejected by his mom. He and his sibling were found outside but their mother was nowhere to be seen. He and his sister, Bunny, were both missing much of their front arms due to a congenital defect. But as Otter’s rescuer would discover, he was missing more than that.

Small Kitten Rescue got the pair of cats when they were just 2 weeks old after the Good Samaritan who had found and rescued them could not provide the medical care they needed. Caroline, founder of Small Kitten Rescue, said they were both very sick. She would learn that Otter had a very rare condition – a hole in his skull that exposes his brain.

The condition is extremely dangerous and because of this Otter needed a way to protect his head. Thankfully, a follower of the rescue on social media said he would make Otter a helmet. Now Otter wears that helmet non-stop! According to Caroline, Otter is not in any pain or discomfort. He’s just the happiest little guy.

Bunny has adapted to her disability too and is able to hop and get around to play. The two siblings love each other and have such a love for life.

As Otter’s helmet is not the perfect situation, Caroline mentioned he will be getting surgery to try and fix it. Titanium mesh will cover the hole and protect his brain so he won’t need the helmet anymore.

Three Dogs Rescued From Dump Pose A Year Later

A trio of dogs who were living in a dump and shared a mattress have reunited a year later and their lives look a whole lot dif­fer­ent now. Their rescuers have the photos to prove it.

Ruff Start Rescue out of Princeton, MN shared heartwarming before-and-after photos of the rescue pups on their Facebook page recently and wrote, “The holi­days will look a lot dif­fer­ent for these rescue pups this year!”

“The first photo shows Cooper, Trixi, and Bruno living in a dump on Christmas Eve 2021.”

It turns out the trio are “three” in more ways than one. Each of the dogs had to have a leg amputated in order to restore their health. Each was lucky enough to find forever homes where they are thriving and being loved.
