What a beautiful story! I really should have had a hankie close by. Kerrigan is beautiful and I hadn't even noticed her "disability" until I read her bio. Actually as I read on, it seems that it really isn't a disability at all. She is a happy cat who is enjoying life and who has been adopted by a wonderful family. Bless you for choosing her. I know she feels blessed too.

I have started Sunday filled with love for my fellow human - and as we all know, it's easier to love a cat. Thanks for adopting Kerrigan.

Kerrigan,
You are such a gorgeous kitty! In fact I never even noticed anything "wrong" with your legs until I started reading your story, so had to go back and look at your picture again. I'm so glad you found somebody willing to see past your "handicap" and give you the loving home you so deserve. Congratulations on being cat of the day!

Awwww, you are sooo sweet! What a nice way to start my day!

I didn't notice your back legs either and read your story. I'm so glad that you now have a great home!!!

Congrats on being COTD -- you have the face of a sweet little angel

Congratulations to a heartbreakingly beautiful kitty--what a face and what a purrsonality. Disability? What disability? All you needed was a chance, and I'm so thrilled you and your family found each other. God bless you sweetie and have a wonderful day that celebrates YOU!! Yay!!

What a beautiful "differently abled" kitty girl. You are just gorgeous, Kerrigan. Bless you and your family.

I wish folks would realize just what they are missing when they "pass up" on a "special needs" cat. They give so much in so many ways, right, Kerrigan? I had a cleft palate kitty, Murphy for 16 years! The "pound" was going to put him down because no one wanted him, but his former owner (Murph hated dogs and they fought miserbly) took him to a no-kill shelter and THEY convinced me to take this goofy looking kid. He was wonderful, my best buds for 16 years, living LONG after the vets thought he would because of URI problems that cleft palates are prone to. Special kitties are just that--VERY, VERY special and I'm glad you have such a special family and home that you deserve, Kerrigan, you gorgeous girl! Yvonne

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.

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.

)

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.
