They are truly the most spirited cats.Tilly and WillyBabyKittenRescueEarlier this year, Caroline Grace, the founder of Baby Kitten Rescue, responded to a call about a litter of kittens with special needs.”We knew it would be a challenge to take so many special-needs kittens at once, but we could not say no to their sweet faces and wonky leggies. They were all born with a congenital abnormality that caused them to have restricted range of motion in their hind legs,” Caroline shared with Love Meow.Two of them, Willy and Tilly, were inseparable from the start. It wasn’t long before they captivated their rescuers with their remarkable adaptability and zest for life.BabyKittenRescueAfter consulting multiple vets and specialists to determine the cause and appropriate treatment, “all of the vets said the same thing: they weren’t sure why their hind legs were that way, but they knew they would adapt well with support.”Caroline and her team got right to work with daily physical therapy and stretching exercises to enhance the kittens’ range of motion and help them use their hind legs effectively.BabyKittenRescue”We were amazed to watch how they learned to walk, run, climb, jump, and even use the litter box while staying perfectly clean.”Willy (orange and white) and Tilly (calico) depended on each other from day one, always staying close to their best friend. If one curled up in a bed, the other would soon follow, and they would nestle together, purring in perfect harmony.Willy and Tilly share an inseparable bondBabyKittenRescue”They are the most adorable, lovable dynamic duo. Both Willy and Tilly purr nonstop, want to be wherever their humans are, and have the cutest little chirps and chats with you.”Within a month, the kittens made incredible progress, moving with stronger and steadier strides.
