Animal shelters see lots of little cuties come and go, all with different stories. Stockings the cat, however, would be one story that this Chicago-based shelter wouldn’t soon forget. When the kitten was brought in, it was obvious he was in some need of help. He was born with a serious birth defect, rendering him unable to stand or walk. His legs were almost backwards, forming a “W.” The shelter workers named him Stockings and they were determined to help him out.
Even though Stockings had this terrible birth defect, he had a playful heart.

He’s a little wobbly, but he is becoming more and more like a normal little cat.

He even found a forever home.

The vet tech that was originally supposed to foster Stockings decided to adopt him, making him an awesome part of her family.
