This is Peggy.  And, if we’re honest, Peggy has resting “witch” face. It’s not her fault, of course. But, many adopters overlook cats with inner beauty, like Peggy, in favor of the outwardly pretty kitties.

To add insult to injury, Peggy only has three legs. Actually, that’s not as bad as it sounds as many tripods get around pretty well. But, she will still need a forever family who is patient with her mobility issues.

When we rescued Peggy last May (yes, she’s been waiting that long to be adopted), she was hungry and in pain. Her leg and paw were broken and had to be amputated. Plus, she had just given birth a week before and was desperately trying to care for her kittens. Sadly, only two survived but they were immediately placed into foster care and adopted into a wonderful home.

After all she’s been through, Peggy definitely deserves a second chance at happiness. Unfortunately, she faces a lot of competition for attention. So, for special cats like Peggy, having a sponsor–aka Guardian Angel–can help improve the odds that they will find their purr-fect forever home.
