Her front paws appeared to be crooked, and she was stout and tailless. As it turned out, the kitten was born with several congenital conditions. "This includes Manx Syndrome, Kyphosis, a paw deformity and neurological issues leading her to walk on her paws incorrectly."

Despite it all, the tabby named Lisa was very playful and always in good spirits. She would hop around like a bunny, exploring every nook and cranny.

"She is a cognitively normal cat who just wants to do cat things – watch birds out the window, chase a string and cuddle on your lap."

Anna and her husband Steve planned to foster the kittens until they were ready for adoption. They hoped a wonderful family who understands Lisa's needs, would come along some day.
