The kittens waited outside for mama cat to return, but sadly she never did, and they were left unhealthy and vulnerable

She reached out to Baby Kitten Rescue once she noticed the kittens were missing limbs and needed bottle feeding

This is big brother Otter

He was born with an especially rare congenital defect called ‘Meningoencephalocele’

His skull never closed properly, leaving part of his brain protruding out of the hole in his skull

For his own safety, he wears a custom-made helmet to protect his brain

This kitten is so used to wearing it now, he doesn’t try to scratch at it or pull it off

Otter is an adventurer and enjoys exploring new places

He loves to play, snuggle and relax, purring whenever possible

Little Otter just had cutting-edge brain surgery to place his brain back into his skull and cover the opening with titanium mesh

He’s doing very well, enthusiastically taking care of his sister

Bunny was born with congenital bilateral hemimelia, meaning she was born missing both of her forearms

The kitty has successfully adapted to her circumstances by moving on her back legs

Her disability even taught Otter how to stand on his rear feet too

There are several ramps dedicated for Bunny to get up onto the bed and couch, yet she jumps straight from the ground onto the bed or the couch

Seems like she is living her best life with so much joy and confidence every day

It has been incredible for Caroline Grace to see Bunny & Otter adapt to their disabilities so well

Both Otter and Bunny love each other so much and are a bonded pair
Image credits: babykittenrescue
They snuggle together, groom each other, bird watch, and play together
Image credits: babykittenrescue
They are such an inspiration for how resilient, adaptable, and happy they are
Image credits: babykittenrescue
It makes Caroline’s heart burst with cheer and restores her faith in humanity to see people so in love with these two kittens with special needs

Carolina promised to make sure that they are adopted together as a pair. She is very grateful for having the experience of foster parenting these 2 guys, saying: “They are so incredibly special to me and always will be.”
