A kitten with a permanent head tilt had the odds against her. Now, she lives as though she could conquer anything.

When Paisley, a gray kitten, was brought to the municipal shelter, she was just skin and bones, spinning around with a severe head tilt.

Nikki Martinez, an animal rescuer based in NV, found the kitten in urgent need of placement. With the support of Hearts Alive Village, she picked up Paisley from the shelter and opened her home to foster her.

With her head tilted, Paisley needed to twist around to look at Nikki when she first met her. She was drawn to Nikki's voice and completely obsessed with food.
