Special Needs Kitten Doesn’t Need Helmet Anymore After Successful Brain Surgery

Meet Bunny and Otter!

These siblings are both special needs kittens but their disabilities don’t hold them back, and thanks to Caroline Grace they live happy and playful lives!

Caroline founded Baby Kitten Rescue, a nonprofit organisation, in September 2021 and by January 2022 she had four people, including herself, fostering kittens in need.

Fast forward to 2023 and there are now 32 people that foster for the rescue.

Caroline told We Love Cats and Kittens: “So far, we have saved 130 kittens with 6 of those kittens being long-term special needs cases.”

Bunny and Otter first came in to Caroline’s care when a kind woman found them after being abandoned by their mother.

She soon realised the siblings were a little different, so she contacted Baby Kitten Rescue where they would get the specialized help they needed.

Bunny was born with no paws on her front legs and Otter was missing some of his toes.

When they first arrived into Caroline’s care they were in a terrible state.

They were filthy dirty, covered in fleas, had severe diarrhoea and both had an upper respiratory infection.

Caroline also noticed that Otter had a large abscess on his head which seemed disproportionately large.

She knew that their situation was severe, but they were both clearly determined to survive, and Caroline would be there to give them all the care and attention they needed.

They quickly bonded with their foster mum, the antibiotics they were given were working, and both of them had a healthy appetite.

Their new home is only 10 minutes away from Caroline and she is so happy knowing they will always be in her life.
