Rafiki's Rescue (based in Anaheim) took them on, so Shiva could receive proper care and diagnostics for her congenital condition.

"When they arrived, they were instantly some of the most loving, affectionate kitties we had ever met — so full of love, joy, and so much energy," Megan of Rafiki's Rescue shared with Love Meow.

"They would make biscuits all night and play fetch like dogs all day long. It was their big energy that led us to discover that Shiva's condition was more than what meets the eye – she became winded quickly and began panting, trying to catch her breath."

Shiva was one of the most playful kittens at the rescue and always on the go despite her condition.
