    Update on Lola, the Denver "handstand" kitten (more new info 9/19).

    Lola is a kitten who walks on her front legs due to a defect with her hind legs. Here's a video: Lola

    According to the Maxfund shelter website, she is beginning to use her back legs, so she may stop the "handstand walk" as she gets older. One thing for sure--this is one clever and determined kitten!

    Maxfund is conducting an essay contest to find the best home for Lola. Unfortunately for most PTers, only Colorado residents can apply. Here's the link: Maxfund

    There's additional information in my post below.

    Thank you for the update. It's good that she is starting to use her hind legs since it will probably reduce the number of people who want to adopt her because she is a "conversation piece". Not that the shelter wouldn't be able to screen those people out anyway. She is going to be an expensive cat to take care of counting possible surgeries and furniture loss.

    Isn't that incredible how she gets herself around! Great news that she is starting to use her back legs though. Please keep us updated on her, if you can.

    Update on Lola

    Last night "Inside Edition" did a segment about Lola. What an awesome little girl!!! Watching her get around is something else, nothing seems to hold her back. Hopefully the vets will be able to help her so she can enjoy a long, healthy, happy life in a loving and caring furever home.

    If someone could get me that shelter address we would send ASAP an Animal Association Cat Nip Mouse.
    Its the least we could do for Lola.

    What a sweetheart of a kitty!!! Would you believe that my mother-in-law has a baby goat who is doing the exact same thing???? I haven't seen it but my hubby has!! Amazing what animals can do to adapt!
