Story
From her foster mom, Renee:
Pookie may only have three legs, but apparently no one has told Pookie that she's supposed to be any different.
This sweet little girl is playful, confident, affectionate, and absolutely loves people. She follows her foster family around the house, happily joins them on the couch, and the moment you pick her up, the purring starts. She's a genuine lap kitty with a gentle, kind personality who seems to think being loved is exactly what life is supposed to be about.
Of course, Pookie has priorities. First comes playtime. She loves springs, little felt balls, tiny mice, and anything else she can chase around. Once she's satisfied that she's gotten in the appropriate amount of fun, she's ready to settle down on the couch with her people for some serious cuddle time.
Pookie's beginning wasn't nearly as easy. When she was only about five weeks old, she was found crawling out from underneath a house with a string tightly wrapped around her left back leg. The damage was permanent, and ultimately her leg had to be amputated.
But Pookie adapted beautifully.
She's now an adorable little tri-pawd who gets around well and doesn't let having three legs keep her from playing, exploring, following her people, or enjoying life. She just needs a family willing to make a few accommodations to help protect her remaining rear leg for the long haul. Pookie isn't a jumper, and her home should be arranged so she doesn't need to jump down from high surfaces. Keeping her at a healthy weight will also be especially important so her remaining back leg doesn't have to carry unnecessary extra stress.
Pookie is good with both cats and dogs and would enjoy having another friendly kitten or cat for companionship. She can also do well with older children who understand how to be gentle and respectful with her.
What makes Pookie special isn't simply that she has three legs. It's everything she does with them.
She plays. She follows you around. She climbs into your lap. She purrs the second you pick her up. And after everything this tiny girl experienced at the very beginning of her life, she remains remarkably trusting, gentle, and full of love.
Pookie doesn't need anyone to feel sorry for her.
She just needs someone to fall in love with her.

At Meowtown, we don't have a traditional, physical shelter - all of our cats live in loving foster homes. That means they are already used to real home life, and we truly know their personalities, habits, and what makes them special. They are safe, socialized, and ready to be part of a family. They're not waiting to become housecats... they already are. They just need a house.
This kitten has not been spayed yet, but is available as Foster2Adopt. You adopt and take the kitten home with you, and we pay for and arrange for spay later.
If you are interested in meeting me, please contact my rescue family at MeowtownAR@gmail.com to arrange a visit with my foster home!
