Thankful Thursday

Meet our new cousin, Sam.  Mom's niece just adopted him.  He is a special needs kitty.  She says he is really cuddly and friendly and his left hind leg had to be amputated a few weeks ago due to an infection so he hops around in the most wonderful way.
 
From the rescue's facebook: "this litter & their mama we trapped from under a deck. Sam, the runt, was born without part of his leg, which become infected due to the dangerous area they were nesting in. After being seen by several vets, it was decided that his best prognosis, due to the infection spreading, was a full amputation. We treated him with various meds until he was big enough for surgery and now he's recovering nicely!"
 
So, kudos to cousin Kelly for adopting this beautiful little kitten and giving him a great home!
