Upon receiving an urgent plea from a shelter regarding three 5-week-old kittens in desperate need of rescue, Caroline Grace, founder of Baby Kitten Rescue, didn’t hesitate to offer her assistance. One of the kittens was missing a paw and was very tiny. Caroline shared with Love Meow that she immediately agreed to take them in. The kittens, who were named Rosemary, Lavender, and Basil, were in poor condition when they arrived at the rescue. They were dehydrated, emaciated, covered in fleas, and had parasites.

Caroline’s team was extremely concerned about Rosie, the three-legged kitten, due to her small size and malnourished appearance. Rosie was noticeably thin and underdeveloped, with all her ribs and spine visible. Despite being five weeks old, she weighed the same as a two-week-old kitten.

Our team immediately started providing necessary care to replenish her fluids and established a re-feeding regimen to support her health. Rosie was born with three complete limbs and a petite arm that has both elbow and wrist joints. However, she appears to be unaware of her unique condition and experiences no discomfort.

According to Love Meow, Mia, Rosie’s foster mom, shared that when she first picked up Rosie, she noticed that she was much smaller than the rest of her littermates. She was also very lethargic and covered in fleas. However, even during this tough moment, Rosie was still purring and showing a great desire for affection.

Rosie thrived in a secure and cozy setting, allowing her to gain weight and build up her stamina. Despite only having three paws, she was able to bounce back and frolic around with joy. Caroline expressed her surprise at how quickly Rosie adjusted to her new physical state, as she had no difficulties moving around.

Rosie’s playful nature is akin to that of a bunny as she bounces around with the agility of a tripod. There is a contagious energy about her that radiates pure joy and knows no limits. This adorable feline seeks attention from her human companions and is very sociable, making friends with anyone she meets. Rosie also has a soft spot for other cats and loves being in their company, bringing even more happiness to those around her.

According to Mia, the most prominent aspect of her character is her resilience. Despite having a nub, she is still very affectionate and enjoys playing around the house with Mia’s other cats. Additionally, Rosie is a very social cat and loves being around people, particularly Mia. She would be content spending all day by Mia’s side if she could.

The little marvel with three legs was tiny when she first came, but has grown significantly over time. She becomes the most content girl when she is pampered and hugged by her caretakers.

Exciting news! Rosie is all set to spend her holiday season with her new and loving family. She’ll be starting a whole new chapter in her life with them next week. Meanwhile, her siblings Basil and Lavender have formed a close bond and are hoping to find a forever home together.
