Tumbelina is a sweet black cat rescued from a high kill shelter by Valley Cats, Inc. in Woodland Hills, Calif. But she is different than other cats they’ve rescued.
According to a Pet Collective video, this sweet kitten was born with cerebellar hypoplasia, and cannot walk on her own.
“She is a brilliant mind trapped in her body,” explains Yvette Berke, co-founder of Petopia Animal Rescue, which partners with Valley Cats. “She’s bright as a penny but her legs don’t know what to do.”
The Valley Cats and Petopia team knew that Tumbelina’s chances were slim at the shelter.
“We knew when we saw her that we had to take her and give her the best shot at life she would have for as long as she would have it,” says Berke.
