“She was born with contracted ligaments and tendons in both front wrists, causing her legs to twist,” explained founder of the rescue, Jacqueline DeAmor.

Mel and Zane Lamprey are foster volunteers of the rescue and they eagerly stepped up to help the tiny feline. They named her Quill and discovered was an instant cuddle-bug.

“Her wrists are warmed up with a cat heating pad. They are then massaged and stretched to relax the tendons and ligaments in hopes of re-aligning the growing bones,” explained Jacqueline.

Soon Quill will receive weekly splints which should further improve her range of motion.

She’s a total champ with her physio and seemed completely unfazed by any challenges thrown at her, in her eyes she no different to any other kitten.

This chocolate-colored ball of fur has become an expert at getting plenty of cuddles from her foster parents.

“She’s silly, curious, sweet, and a foster daddy’s girl. She has him wrapped around her tiny fingers,” Mel told Love Meow.

“Foster dad always swoops in like the hero after a (physical therapy) session and cuddles her.”
