This Sick Kitty Has A Special Wheelchair And Gets All The Treats In The World

It’s not uncommon to come across a kitty with special needs, but sadly, some people fail to recognize their worth. Let me assure you, these wonderful cats deserve happiness just as much as any other. They might require a little extra care, but their hearts are full of love to give.

Tumbelina was born with Cerebellar Hypoplasia, a condition that made her unable to walk or maintain her balance. This poor thing was stuck in a body that just wouldn’t cooperate.

With no special treatment or cure, she ended up in a shelter and faced the risk of being euthanized. Thankfully, her case found its way to the compassionate cat rescue organization, Valley Cats, Inc., in Woodland Hills, CA.

Moved by Tumbelina’s heartbreaking situation, the rescue team knew they had to step in and give her a chance. Cats with cerebellar hypoplasia can lead happy, fulfilling lives, but they require a bit more care and support.

As soon as they saw Tumbelina’s bright spirit and boundless energy, they knew they had made the right choice. She was a true sweetheart, and her vibrant personality quickly captured the hearts of everyone around her.

They likened her to Stephen Hawking, saying she had “a brilliant mind trapped in a body that can’t keep up.” But despite the challenges, the dedicated team refused to give up on their sweet feline friend. Instead, they focused on finding ways to help her thrive.

First, they introduced hydrotherapy to strengthen her muscles and prepare her for the journey ahead. And then, they did something truly remarkable!

Determined to see her walk on her own, they provided her with a custom-made wheelchair! This four-wheeled buggy allowed Tumbelina to move and walk without anyone’s help.

As soon as she adapted to her new wheels, she rolled around like a champ, defying all odds and showing everyone what she was made of.

However, Tumbelina’s journey didn’t end there because her caring team wanted to do more for her. They made a video of her wheeling around and shared it online, hoping to secure her a forever home.

Tumbelina’s clip gained a massive following, melting hearts of people all around the country. Before long, it caught the eye of a loving woman from Georgia.

She felt an instant connection to Tumbelina and was so amazed by her that she decided to drive all the way across the country to bring her home.

This caring woman already had a cat with the same condition as Tumbelina’s, so she was no stranger to caring for kitties with special needs. She just wanted to give this precious kitten all the love she deserved.
