"Hope for kitten born without leg bones"
Ok so strictly speaking he has legs, but his front ones have no bones in them due to a rare genetic disorder. His insensitive owner put him up for sale on Gumtree, listing him as a kitten with 'two broken legs'. Rather like how you would advertise a defective ipod on Ebay isn't it - works fine, slight faults in functionality, minor wear and tear, sorry no returns, paypal only.
I'm so glad I had the 'crazy cat lady' talk with you all before now, it puts postings like this into a little bit of context.
Legless Harvey |
The good news is Harvey will get an operation in a couple of months to install some metal bones in his legs, thanks to fundraising by Cat's Protection Glasgow.
So if he were to go back on Gumtree, would it be as a 'restored' kitten? A hybrid perhaps? Maybe a rebuilt model or a custom built 'pimp my kitty' item..?
