No one knows what exactly Poppy had gone through before her rescue, but this little furry fighter is so full of life, despite having only 3 legs.

“This is our little Poppy. She is a lucky little lady. Only about 5-6 months old… She came in with a huge injury to her radial nerve in her left front leg. She had come from a dangerous neighborhood in Baltimore-we don’t know if she is a victim of abuse or just bad luck. We gave her a couple of weeks to see if her leg would recover but the vet determined that the situation was deteriorating.”
They finally made the decision that was best for Poppy. “The decision was made to amputate… The leg was amputated at 5pm on Friday, and the kitten was already purring and hopping into my lap by 8:30pm the same night…. The surgery went very well and Poppy is comfortably recovering in foster care, happy to inspire anyone she can with her positive attitude.”
“She is such a loving girl that we are confident someone will fall in love very soon.” What Poppy needs now is her forever loving home. She is available for adoption.
Poppy rescued with an injured leg that couldn’t be saved. Today she loves life despite only having 3 legs.

Cats are so resilient. I’ve seen them recover from very serious injuries with no after-affects. No wonder people say they have nine lives.
JUST WAIT SHE’LL BE CLIMBING TREES & FENCES IN NO TIME. MY OLIVER DID.
Cats cope remarkably well with only 3 legs. I used to run a rescue and at one time had 5 tripods – all were friendly and rehomed except for one little boy who stayed with me when the rescue closed.
I’m certain little Poppy will have a wonderful life
I love how it doesn’t seem like it affect kitty in any way :3
we have a lot to learn from cats hehe
I hope she find a home, if I could I would adopt a ton of abandoned cats and love them!
Three legged kitties are just as lovable and able as 4 legged kitties!
Animals never let a disability get them down.They just accept it and get on with their lives.
We adopted a rescue Kitty who had to have her right hind leg amputated. She is the sweetest most precious little girl, she is amazing and gets around very well. There is no stopping her.
Animals seem to do so well w/ a loss like this. They just seem to accept it and move on, undeterred. I really admire that.
Little Poppy is such a beauty !! I had a 15lb front amputee that I adopted from the shelter.
