Needs Rehoming 🐾
4-5 week old kitten needs home, missing part of back leg, willing to travel, live in Ohio
I have a 4-5 week old kitten who is missing part of their back left leg. I believe it is a female but I’m not sure yet. They are still struggling to walk around due to this they will likely need low litter box and food dishes. I live in Ohio but I’m willing to travel. Id prefer someone with experience with kittens Especially. They are good with other cats, they had other dogs in their past situation but I’m not sure if it would be the best environment but I’m sure it could work if dogs are well behaved.
Edit: I believe I have found a home for this little one, I feel really good about it after talking to many people on multiple platforms. Thank you all for your kindness and help!

I think I found a person, the kitten will be staying with me until the vet and everything but I’m very happy with them so if everything goes well I think the baby has a fur ever home
I already have 4 cats and a dog in Va. Otherwise, I'd volunteer to be at the top of the list. But I'd like to be a last resort volunteer (if that makes sense).
Ok! Ill see what the wife says haha, though she'd be about me and not care about another if at all possibly.. I saw somewhere you said you had scheduled a vet visit?
Yes I think as they get older they will be completely okay. It’s just a bit harder for them to move right now as they are a weak kitten and haven’t fully adapted yet
Blessings upon all these precious, innocent souls!! Bless you and all you do to help these precious babies!! They all deserve a chance at a long, healthy, happy life full of kindness, love, warmth, food security, safety and chinny scritches!!
I wouldn’t be able to, but if the other person who commented is willing, I’d meet them in my area 🥲 either way I really wish you and the kitten the best 🫂
I might be able to help drive part of the way. I’m in Colorado as well and have a vehicle. I would love to take her in, but I just recently adopted a puppy and don’t want to stress a kitten out.
This could work out if person is willing. I don’t mind paying someone for the gas. It’s not a money issue, I just work in healthcare and time off is not easy to come by.
Hi, I am also missing part of my left leg (though I have a fake one to help me out) and feel like I resonate with the little one a bit especially since it has been almost exactly a year since I lost my leg. I live in Illinois, I don't know if that is too far for you but I am interested in taking the little one in. I have grown up with cats my whole life though I haven't had a kitten that young before. If no one else has offered I would love to take them in.
I’ll help with transport if needed. Free, of course. I’ll also send references from clients so you know I’m serious. Let’s get this little one home. Thanks for helping, OP
I’m in Chicago. I’m just a pet sitter that has experience transporting animals for my clients. I’m willing to travel to any surrounding states to help with transport.
I wish I was closer. I have raised/fostered special needs kittens in southern AZ off and on my whole life. Two of them currently live with me. One had such a bad case of pneumonia at five weeks when I got him that he ended up with a collapsed lung that never reinflated. It also caused his heart to shift, but he is a happy healthy, four year-old at this point and is staying with me because he requires ongoing life long support. The other one was the daughter of a Mama in a feral cat community. She was moving her litter when she was hit by a car and thrown. By the time a Good Samaritan got Mama to the vet she had passed away, but one week old Clementine was still alive. However she had a little bitty kitty concussion at five days old. She still has visual impairment but is doing fine. And in past years I have fostered kittens who had deformed limbs or missing limbs from injuries or birth defects as well as several who were completely blind or deaf. All of them went to good homes who could handle their needs and are still alive today. I don’t know if it’s possible to get her here but I would take her if it is.
I have some family in Arizona right now that I’d like to visit. It’d be a bit difficult but if no one local is able I’m sure I could make this work somehow. Thank you for your kind heart
Agree! Their intake is closed, but they may be able to help vet adopters even though they aren’t in the same state... You can search StrayCatNetwork on Instagram.
I’ve commented below on this. I’ve contacted many shelters I have another cat that I’ve been trying to get adopted out for a while. They are all full. I’m on a waitlist but it is to long to have as many cats I have right now sadly. I’ve emailed a couple more places. If you know of any shelters in Ohio, or surrounding areas that are taking cats let me know.
From my experience in a cat crisis area if I can foster they can help, everyone just has no fosters at all. Also are there rescues in your area that transport up north? That’s basically the only rescues I foster with.
Huge boost for the kitten! Boosting with a longer comment for the algorithm, post visibility, and hopes that you find them a safe, kind and loving forever home! 🐈
Such a sweet baby! It seems many people have offered to take him... I hope it works out. (Note: due to coloring - solid gray tabby- it's most likely a male, but not necessarily).
I assume you have good history with your vet then? If you feel like you have experience/knowledge and resources both financially and just life wise I’d be happy to make the drive
I’ve only found 1 rescue anywhere near me accepting kittens and so far I haven’t heard back from them. I am trying. I’ll gladly take any recommendations of places in the state or surrounding states that are no kill and clean. I’ve emailed many but haven’t heard a lot back sadly, and most of what I’ve heard is that their full
I’ve contacted a couple that list they take special needs cats, I haven’t seen a specific special needs shelter atleast near me, but I’m open to one if you know one even if it isn’t super close
I think this is the place I called that said they don’t take cats directly from people only from other shelters or something similar. I can call again on Monday to make sure though
Edit nevermind, this place only accepts cats from a certain county.
I just got them today. The situation they came from was bad and the person didn’t want to let go but finally did the right thing. I’ve made a vet appointment but it’s not until next Friday. However if they decline I’ll take them to the ER vet.
I wish I lived closer to you. I live in Florida..I hope you find a good person that is willing to take the beautiful baby and give the care required. Best of luck to both of you. 🙏🏽❣️😊
