Animal deformities are not uncommon, and Adira, a six-year-old cat, is a living example. Passers-by found her on the street and took her to a shelter, thinking that she had been mistreated due to her straight hind legs.
After examining Adira, shelter doctors discovered that she had a congenital deformity. Despite her disability, Adira was a healthy cat who moved herself around and craved affection. She would meow loudly and touch people with her paw to get their attention.
Adira’s headstrong, quick-witted, and freedom-loving personality didn’t stop her from finding a loving family. After her story was published on the shelter’s website, she was adopted pretty soon. Adira’s new family members are delighted with her, and she gets along well with other animals in the house.
Despite her limb problems, Adira shows firmness of character and acts like an ordinary cat. Her new owner, Tina, says that Adira is very friendly and loves to attract attention. Sometimes she comes up and looks into Tina’s eyes until she takes her in her arms.
Adira’s story is a reminder of the importance of treating animals with kindness and compassion, regardless of their physical appearance or abilities. She may be a little special, but that doesn’t stop her from being a lovable and cherished member of her family.
