Frankie now Spiderman....because he scurries likes a spider across the floor, was found as a tiny feral kitten living on the streets of South Augusta with a non-functioning lame leg. We struggled to socialize him because he was extra cautious of people due to his disability. Since his leg didn't cause him pain, we chose to delay surgery until he was at a safer weight. Once he hit 4 pounds, we opted for surgery. Once the leg was removed, he became a more confident better adjusted cat. He will need time to acclimate to new people and a new home, but he's food and "churu" motivated and will transition with anyone willing to work with him. He loves when you sing him the spiderman theme song and prefers to be held against your chest instead of flipped. He still scoots instead of hopping, because that's where he originally built all his muscles to compensate for the lack of the back leg. Occasionally, I will see him hop, but he prefers to drag himself, which is not harming him in any way. He has no issues using the bathroom and loves to play in tunnels.
