The three-pawed cat found her place in a family with Scarlett, a two-year-old girl who also lacks a hand. When the babies met, it was obvious that a special connection was being created between them. They seemed to understand each other.
Scarlet is a courageous young girl battling an uncommon type of cancer. Her left arm is gone. She loves cats. Her parents wanted her to grow up with a little kitten, and that she had someone that would look like her. For six months they had been looking for a cat with three paws to adopt, and on Christmas Eve their wish came true.
That evening, the family watched a news report about a three-month-old kitten that had just undergone amputation.. They called to know how they could adopt the kitten. At first they couldn’t get the necessary information, so they decided to visit the animal shelter, where the kitten was staying, themselves.
Scarlett loves cats, so it seems sense that she was frightened, as the father said. She saw that the cat, named Doc, was a female, and that she had braces. Her father told, that she had exactly the same. In response, she put her hand on the cat’s braces and nodded, mentioning the father.
At that moment, the parents realized that it was a suitable pet for their daughter. They said Scarlett understood that the cat was going through the same difficulties as herself.
Her parents say that even though Doc had physical limitations, he became accustomed to the new home and turned out to be rather active. As the girl’s father added, the cat is very soft and loves to lie on her knees.
