Just look at the little cutie.
When cats are born with deformities, a lot of them are euthanised. It’s a sad turn of events, however a family in California decided to take on Juju, the cat that was born with no elbows.
Karen Gorne adopted Juju and her sister Jilly when they were just kittens. However, Karen said that just because she has a deformity doesn’t mean she isn’t bouncing around like a happy cat.
“She walks hunched over or like a T-rex,” Karen told the Metro.
“She also has giant back feet, that look like rabbit feet, which allows her to jump very high and balance herself. It means she is strictly an indoor cat because she could never protect herself outside. Having no elbow joints means that her front arms are permanently bent.”
The 51-year-old said that she has a soft spot for disabled animals, and also owns a one-eyed dog called Duncan.
“I have a soft spot when it comes to helping disabled pets. They just kind of find me…people know that I take in disabled animals, so they bring them to me. I always say ‘I’m just going to foster this one’ and then they end up staying’.”
