    Oh Kerrigan! Your Mommy's loving words, your amazing "story," have captured all of our hearts! I have tears in my eyes but they are happy tears! Your indomitable spirit, your big, big heart are nothing short of inspirational! I am so happy that despite having been surrendered as "damaged goods", you managed to find your way to the most loving of forever homes!, to a family who embraced you for the true beauty that you are! And major kudos to all of those along the way who helped to make your rescue a reality! You know Kerrigan, I was blessed with a kitty whose challenges were identical to yours; her name was Tina! And like your Mom, once home, I was totally amazed to find that not only did her "handicap" not prevent her from living a full and happy life, she actually managed to eventually reign supreme over all of her loyal subjects, human, feline and canine! Congratulations to you brave, beautiful Kerrigan, our most inspirational, most deserving Sunday Cat of the Day Enjoy your well earned day celeb and each and every moment of your wonderful life! Hugs and kisses to you, precious Kerrigan!

    Yours is truly a heartwarming tale of great magnitude, and speaks volumes for the kitties out there who are discarded due to some perceived "imperfection". You seem to not even notice nor to care that you are considered to be physically impaired. Your feline capabilities are just fine, as your story relates, and you are happily enjoying life all thanks to someone who asked to adopt the cat with the least chance of finding a home. Blessings to you and yours, beautiful Kerrigan, our most deserving COTD!

    Queen Kerrigan!

    Kerrigan,
    You are a beautiful orange kitty. I am so sorry that you only have half of your back legs, but hey! That just makes you more unique. I loved your story and I am so happy that your meowmie wanted to get a special kitty like you. Happy Sunday: You sure brought sunshine into this cloudy day is San Diego! Happy COTD!

    PS. Have a treat and play with Eddie on your special day!

    Miss Kerrigan! I didn't realize that you're differently abled until I started reading your story. When I looked at your photo I was much more captivated by an orange tabby girl with a sweet face! I hope you have had a wonderful day today as our Cat of the Day. I wish you a long, happy and healthy life with your very caring purr-son! Meows and head bops from Illinois.

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    Kerrigan

    She's so beautiful! I couldn't imagine her not being adopted JUST because her back legs are a little short.

    She reminds me of my much beloved and missed Trio kitty. She had four working legs but one of the front arms was frozen at the elbow and permanently curled around at the front. Unfortunately it seems that was from being thrown out of a car window... Or that's the consensus. The person who's farm she was found on, the vet's, and just about everyone that seen and heard her tale. She was an orange tiger DSH too.

    Her handicap sure didn't impair her any! She was faster than any other house cat I've ever met and she could still swat at King with both paws. (Though it was more like punching with the one. )

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.

    Kerrigan, you are a beautiful orange girl! I love orange kitties and you are the perfect orange cat! Kerrigan, I guess you don't know that there is a problem with your back legs because your "disability" certainly hasn't slowed you down. You are a great COTD, Kerrigan, and my wish for you is many years of health and happiness with the family (including Eddie!) who love you so much.
