\"\"My grandson and his wife just adopted the sweetest kitten. He\u2019s an ordinary grey kitten. There\u2019s nothing really special about him, until you get to know his sweet purr-sonality and until you know the rest of his story.<\/p>\n

Rip, named for the strong character in the series,\"\" Yellowstone, was apparently horribly abused. When he was found, presumably seconds after he was possibly dumped at a pumpkin patch, he was missing his two front paws and bleeding profusely. They figured he was about four-weeks old then. A kind-hearted woman took him in, \"\"worked for weeks with veterinarians to save his life and try to give him a chance at a normal life. They succeeded and Rip is a healthy, happy, precious kitten living in a loving home, with a loving great-grandmother (me) living across the street. As you can see in the pictures, he does now live without his two front paws. And he manages life meowvelously.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all known and\/or read about cats that survive and thrive although blind or deaf or missing limbs or a tail they once depended on for balance and communication. Some of them can still hunt and all of them are still capable of loving and being loved. I can tell you that Rip sure seems to be a trusting, playful, brave little soul who is loved to the moon and back.<\/p>\n
