Kitten can hardly walk after ‘life of cruelty’ — and needs a loving home. Meet Mighty
A cat in Phoenixville is proving just how resilient he can be after he was rescued.
Mighty, a sweet kitten, was saved from a doomed life by the Pennsylvania SPCA and is now in need of a home where lots of love can be showered upon him.
But he has some special needs, the shelter says.
“In a quiet kennel at our Main Line Animal Rescue (MLAR) Center, sits a 7 month old kitten who has truly earned his name - Mighty,” the Pennsylvania SPCA said in a Oct. 9 Facebook post.
“Rescued from a life of cruelty by our Animal Law Enforcement team, Mighty was hardly able to walk. His arms and legs would curved inward and his hind limbs were muscle wasted.”
Turns out, Mighty suffers from an irreversible medical condition.
“After spending some time in MLAR’s veterinary hospital, it was concluded that this precious kitten has an irreversible congenital condition,” the shelter said.
“But although he may never be able to run as fast as his friends or climb the tallest of cat towers, Mighty shows us every day that happiness isn’t merely a state of being—it’s a choice.”
Despite his past, the kitten is a sweetheart and loves everyone he meets.
“This sweet boy remains so open to love and has never met a stranger,” the shelter said. “He adores purring in a lap and hanging out with his feline friends. He uses the litterbox just fine and loves to play with toys - just like any other kitten.
“Mighty may look or move different than most cats, but we hope that someone will see him for who he truly is and give him the home he deserves.”
