MiniScooter
came to us as a kitten around 10 to 12 weeks old. She was born with the
same birth defect as
Scooter, where her hind legs are misshapen and paralyzed. She
originally had another name, but everyone just called her MiniScooter,
so that became her official name.
Her original owner didn't want her, presumably due to her birth defect,
and she was taken in by a rescue group. They took her to a local vet for
a diagnosis and advice. He told them, "She looks like a Journey's End cat",
and the rescue group arranged for her to come here.
Volunteer Janice designed and built her custom wheels, after trying many
prototypes, so she
can scoot around and play.
She is sweet-natured and friendly, and likes to be held. She receives
frequent baths to keep her clean. She is very playful, especially when
she is in her wheels.
