These two siblings are quite unlike other cats, but since being saved, they are living life to the fullest

Otter and his sister, Bunny, were discovered orphaned in Northern California by a kind-hearted woman who took them in and began caring for them.

Caroline Grace, the head of Baby Kitten Rescue, began treating them since they had many health risks. After they were healed, the focus shifted to their disabilities and assistance to their adaptation. Caroline will help them find a permanent home where they will live together.

Baby Kitten Rescue is a nonprofit animal rescue that specializes in neonatal, critical care, and special needs kitten rescue in Los Angeles, CA. “We hope to show that these kittens are capable of being saved and are worth saving! We also hope to promote acceptance, inclusion, and compassion and show that special needs animals can live full, rich, and happy lives!”

Bored Panda has contacted Caroline Grace to get an update about these two adorable kittens. We asked about the situation they were in when they arrived in the care of the Baby Kitten Rescue, and Caroline explained that “Bunny & Otter were only 3 weeks old and very sick when they arrived. They had upper respiratory infections, infected eyes, and horrible stomach issues.”

The kittens waited outside for mama cat to return, but sadly she never did, and they were left unhealthy and vulnerable

Otter was born with an underdeveloped front arm. We asked Caroline if he walks on all 4, and she explained that “Otter walks on 3 legs. His front right arm only has 1 toe and 1 claw, so it’s not very stable. So he doesn’t use that arm when he walks.”
