When Kali from Foster Friends Rescue learned about a 5-week-old kitten with radial hypoplasia (RH) who had been living underneath a mobile home in Las Vegas with his siblings, she immediately agreed to help the little special needs cat and his litter mates. “He and his siblings were brought to my rescue by a TNR [trap-neuter-return] trapper,” explains Kali, referring to the humane practice of trapping community and feral cats, sterilizing them, and then returning them to their original territories.
While the mother of the young cats was trapped, spayed, and returned to the mobile home park, Kali placed the kittens in a foster home shortly after they were rescued on October 5, 2020. However, approximately two weeks later, the kitten with radial hypoplasia was smaller than his siblings and having difficulty keeping up with his litter mates, so Kali decided to care for him herself.
“I specialize in fostering cats and kittens with special needs and educating others about them,” says Kali, and she was uniquely qualified to look after the small special needs kitten thanks to Turtle, her cat who also has radial hypoplasia.
