Meet Bitsy. When you walk into the cat sanctuary of Richmond Animal Protection Society, this black and white kitty will surely catch your eyes. She sits on her bottom with her hind feet up like a little person. Bitsy was paralyzed at birth, but she never thinks she is any different.
“Bitsy was found abandoned in a cardboard box down by the river and is paralyzed from the waist down. Bitsy can use her litter box but does sometimes have accidents,” said RAPS. They plan to eventually have her fitted for wheels when she gets a bit older.
Though Bitsy moves around a little different from other cats, she thinks she’s purrfect and is always happy to see people and greet them with her adorable sitting pose when they come into the room. She is a little star at her shelter and getting plenty of love.

What a sweetheart! She looks perfectly healthy except for her disability. Such bright eyes and so alert! She obviously doesn’t realize that she is ‘different’. What a little love! Best wishes for a happy peaceful life for her in a loving home.
I have such a soft spot for black and white kitties, and Bitsy is a gorgeous example.
Such a cutie! I hope someone gives her a forever home, and thankfully, whoever found her did not give up on her!
Can her legs be fixed?
It all depends on what happened to her. If her spine was damaged in any way, then repair may be out of the question, especially if the damage was to the Central Nervous System. She may also have a condition called Saddle Thrombus, which is when a blood clot forms in an artery along the spinal cord, blocking blood flow and starving the legs of oxygen. Depending on the severity of the clot, surgery can fix the damage. Cats that can’t recover can use paricarts, which are like wheelchairs for cats and dogs.
She is absolutely precious!! Love that little girl!
what a cutie! she has a lovely marilyn monroe mole
Awww so sweet! This little girl has the angels looking out for her!
It is amazing what cats will adapt to when they’re young!
I would certainly take her if I lived nearby. I have a blind kitty, a deaf kitty and a “grumpy” kitty. These are not issues for me.
You’re awesome
YOU ROCK!!
