My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

At just 8 weeks of age, Opal fractured both of her hind legs. Fortunately, she went into foster care shortly after, and was put on pain meds, and recovered well. We don’t know how Opal was injured, but she has a fighting spirit and persevered through it. Even though she had two broken legs, she managed to walk on both, albeit with a limp.

Opal has seen multiple specialists and all have said that her fractures healed well and she wouldn’t need surgery. However, she still limps on her hind left leg, but it doesn’t seem to bother her. She still runs, jumps, climbs and plays like a normal kitten.

One of the specialists that examined Opal said that it’s possible the limp will improve as she gets older, but it could also worsen. He said that if the limp declines and the hind left leg becomes atrophied, then she will need that leg amputated later in life.

If this happens, Baby Kitten Rescue will pay for the amputation, but it must be done with one of our vets in Los Angeles. Opal’s potential adopter must live within 2 hours of Los Angeles and be willing to take Opal to her amputation surgery if that is needed.

Opal is a sweet, affectionate, playful, cuddly and smart kitten. Opal is so smart that she knows her own name and comes when called. When Opal wants snuggles, she will run up to you, trill, jump in your lap and start purring. Opal is a purring machine.

Opal is very social with other cats and needs to be in a home with another playful kitten or cat. Because Opal had a rough start to life, she doesn’t like loud sounds, so a quiet home is preferred. Opal will make an amazing companion animal and will be your best friend for many years to come!
