From the moment Clarice, a tiny tailless kitten, set foot in the Odd Cat Sanctuary, her story became one of resilience and hope. Found as a solitary stray, she bore congenital deformities that rendered her unable to walk using her hind limbs. Yet, her spirit was unbreakable.
The Odd Cat Sanctuary revealed to Love Meow, “She was born with deformed back legs and a condition known as Manx syndrome, affecting her hindquarters’ function.”

Clarice’s Journey to Strength
Despite her petite size, Clarice’s determination was colossal. She played and wrestled with toys, showing no signs of giving up. Her foster mom, witnessing her indomitable spirit from day one, remarked, “She’s been unwavering in her efforts to grow stronger through water and physical therapy.”

Every day, with the help of her foster mom, Clarice worked on fortifying her hind legs. The progress was slow but sure. Over time, her back legs grew stronger, allowing her to playfully bunny-kick her toys.
