A three-legged kitten was adopted by a family with a 2-year-old girl, Scarlette, who is also an amputee herself.
Scarlette Tipton had her left arm completely amputated due to cancer when she was 10 months old. And Doc, a rescue kitten, had her right paw amputated after an accident involving a car.
On Christmas Eve, her family, who had been looking for a three-legged kitty to join their family for half a year, went and visited the animal shelter and by Wednesday, Doc was a member of the family.
“We wanted a little kitten to have [Scarlette] grow up with, so she has something that’s just like her,” her mum Simone Tipton told Love Meow.
“She did notice that Doc had staples on her side and said ‘owies’. I let her know that she had owies just like her, and she placed her hand on her side and just nodded. She recognizes that the cat has similar struggles as she does.”
