Amethyst came across a social media post featuring four kittens from a cat colony. One of the kittens stood out as being smaller than the others, and had a unique way of moving with curled hind legs.
While her siblings practiced walking, she had to drag her hind legs on the ground. Amethyst reached out to the woman who discovered the kittens and volunteered to assist the family of four and their mother cat.
With a safe shelter, abundant food, and emotional support, the mother cat was able to care for her kittens and ensure their well-being.
Yukie, one of the kittens taken in by Chatons Orphelins Montreal, was born with hind legs that were deformed. Despite her condition, she showed remarkable strength and determination as she tried to keep pace with her siblings. Once the kittens were weaned and ready, their mother was spayed and returned to the lady who had originally found and cared for her.
She shuffled along by dragging her hind legs at Chatons Orphelins Montreal. One leg had a knee joint that was not formed correctly, while the other was twisted in a way that caused discomfort with each step. Celine from the organization explained the challenges the cat faced due to her deformity. To enhance her well-being, the team decided that fixing the twisted leg was the most suitable solution, considering the intricacy of her condition.
Yukie and her brothers and sisters, who are known as the “Orphaned Kittens of Montreal,” faced a challenging situation when Yukie had to undergo a significant surgery at just five months old. The surgery corrected her left leg, allowing it to provide support while walking and eliminating the discomfort of it rubbing against the ground. Despite the recent operation, Yukie wasted no time getting back on her feet and attempting to walk just a few days later.
Yukie underwent surgery on her leg when she was just five months old at the Chatons Orphelins Montreal. With the love and care of her foster family, she received daily cuddles and her leg healed wonderfully. Gradually, she regained her strength and coordination, her legs moving more fluidly with each passing day. In just two weeks of rest and recovery, Yukie successfully learned to walk using both hind paws.
