'This could have had a different ending'

Two bonded kittens hop around with "wonky" legs and don't let it hold them back. They are truly the most spirited cats. Tilly and WillyBabyKittenRescueEarlier this year, Caroline Grace, the founder of Baby Kitten Rescue, responded to a call about a litter of kittens with special needs."We knew it would be a challenge to take so many special-needs kittens at once, but we could not say no to their sweet faces and wonky leggies. They were all born with a congenital abnormality that caused them to have restricted range of motion in their hind legs," Caroline shared with Love Meow.Two of them, Willy and Tilly, were inseparable from the start. It wasn't long before they captivated their rescuers with their remarkable adaptability and zest for life. BabyKittenRescueAfter consulting multiple vets and specialists to determine the cause and appropriate treatment, "all of the vets said the same thing: they weren't sure why their hind legs were that way, but they knew they would adapt well with support."Caroline and her team got right to work with daily physical therapy and stretching exercises to enhance the kittens' range of motion and help them use their hind legs effectively. BabyKittenRescue"We were amazed to watch how they learned to walk, run, climb, jump, and even use the litter box while staying perfectly clean."Willy (orange and white) and Tilly (calico) depended on each other from day one, always staying close to their best friend. If one curled up in a bed, the other would soon follow, and they would nestle together, purring in perfect harmony. Willy and Tilly share an inseparable bondBabyKittenRescue"They are the most adorable, lovable dynamic duo. Both Willy and Tilly purr nonstop, want to be wherever their humans are, and have the cutest little chirps and chats with you."Within a month, the kittens made incredible progress, moving with stronger and steadier strides. No longer dragging their hind legs, they began walking with their paw pads firmly on the ground. They even developed a unique way of "running" by hopping like bunnies. They are very playful and adventurousBabyKittenRescueThe two bonded siblings act as a team, encouraging each other to try new things, exploring every corner of their room, and eagerly befriending resident cats in the house.They tumble and wrestle until they are completely worn out from all the playing, then curl up together in a cozy bed, drifting off to sleep. The two best friends are always togetherBabyKittenRescueWhenever their foster mom walks into the room, they are ready for lap snuggles. They leap onto Caroline and line up perfectly on her lap, always staying connected no matter what they do.They may walk with a squat stance, but it doesn't hinder them in the slightest. BabyKittenRescueAs they have grown bigger and stronger, the two scamper about and jump up and down with ease. "They get around super well despite their wonky legs.""Tilly is smart, confident, fearless, and loving. She is the boss and loves to explore and play. Willy is the sweet snuggle bug who purrs as soon as you look at him." They can run, jump, and play just like other catsBabyKittenRescueWilly summited the pillow mountain, with Tilly cheering him on and following right on his heels, never missing a beat.She leads her brother, her partner in mischief, into new adventures, stirring up all sorts of trouble. BabyKittenRescueTheir littermates, Moonbeam, Hubble, and Aurora, have also blossomed into playful, affectionate young cats, each with a unique personality."They have adapted so well to their hind leg abnormalities. They are truly the sweetest and most special kitties." BabyKittenRescue"They just need someone to love them with all their wonky wonderfulness. Whoever adopts these special babies is seriously so lucky." BabyKittenRescueShare this story with your friends.

NY Times Readers Aren't Buying the Democratic Talking Point About 'Cheap Fake" Videos

California police who arrested a man for trying to kidnap a 5-year-old girl say that he was the same man who tried to kidnap a 6-year-old girl at the same mall in one week. San Diego police said the suspect was captured on Thursday through the use of a license plate reading technology after the second kidnapping incident at the Westfield Mission Valley Mall. 'An employee of the business heard the girl's screaming and rushed to help her ...'The first incident occurred on Tuesday when a man followed a mother and her 6-year-old daughter who was pushing a stroller with her 8-month-old brother. At about 1:30 p.m. the man grabbed the girl and tried to walk away with her, but she cried out, and her mother confronted the man. He put the girl down before claiming that he had confused her for someone else and running away. The mother reported the incident to security at Target and then called police. San Diego police said they were trying to identify the man when a second kidnapping attempt was reported at the same mall on Thursday. At about 2 p.m. on Thursday, a man tried to carry away a 5-year-old girl after grabbing her in front of Inflatable World in the parking lot at the same mall. The man tried to put her into a vehicle, according to Lt. Daniel Meyer. An employee of the business heard the girl's screaming and rushed to help her, ultimately saving her. The man who had grabbed her drove away from the scene. The car in the Tuesday incident was identified to be a black 2013 Chevy Volt while the vehicle involved in the second incident was only identified as black. Two hours later, police said they pulled over the vehicle near Downtown San Diego that fit the description and matched the license plate. The driver was identified as their suspect and arrested. He was identified as 42-year-old Arturo Rene Lujan by Meyer at a media briefing on Thursday. Meyer said that the man was charged with both kidnappings. Although no one was physically injured in the incidents, Meyer said that the children involved were traumatized. "We as a county provide quite a bit of resources for victims of crime," he added. Court records said Lujan was held without bail and is scheduled for arraignment in front of the San Diego Superior Court. Like Blaze News?
