Kickers — Chatons Orphelins Montreal
A sweet tabby kitten named Kickers arrived at Chatons Orphelins Montreal with her five siblings, all facing an uphill battle. Four of the kittens were born with malformed legs, making it difficult for them to stand or move properly. Despite their physical challenges, they had an incredible will to live and play like any other kitten. At just seven weeks old, they were welcomed into a loving foster home where volunteers were determined to help them heal and thrive.
The kittens quickly adjusted to their new surroundings, showering their caregivers with affection. Even with bent legs, they scooted and crawled around eagerly, refusing to let anything stop them from exploring their little world.

Kickers had one bent paw that curved inward, making it hard to walk. The rescue team immediately fitted her with a small splint to help correct it. Within just a day, this brave little kitten adapted to her new support and began scampering around as if nothing had ever been wrong. Her energy and spirit amazed everyone who met her.

As her siblings also received treatments to correct their legs, the rescue took advantage of their growth phase to help realign their paws naturally. Soft bandages were applied to protect their joints, easing discomfort and allowing them to move more freely. Gradually, they began walking, running, and even climbing, experiencing the simple joy of motion for the first time.

As her mobility improved, Kickers’ personality truly blossomed. Her curiosity knew no bounds, and she began exploring every corner of her foster home. With adorably large back paws — complete with extra toes — she caught everyone’s attention. Each step revealed her colorful toe beans, a charming detail that made her even more lovable. Whenever she wanted attention, she proudly displayed them to her human friends.

Kickers wasn’t just healing physically — she was helping her siblings heal emotionally too. Her playful energy motivated them to move more, explore, and enjoy their surroundings. Bottine, a kitten with two twisted front legs, used to be shy and still, but Kickers encouraged her to play and climb. Their bond grew stronger as they learned to trust their own strength, turning every obstacle into a game.

Over the next ten days, the change in Kickers was incredible. Her once-bent paw straightened almost completely, and she could finally place it flat on the ground. The moment she realized she could run like a normal kitten, she raced joyfully around the room, her happiness lighting up the space. She was unstoppable — climbing, jumping, and exploring everything she could find.

Her right front leg was now 80% straight and strong. She became the leader among her siblings — the first to inspect new toys, the first to climb new spots, and the first to comfort any kitten feeling lonely. Whenever it was nap time, they all gathered together, purring and cuddling close to their humans for warmth and love.

Now, Kickers has fully grown into a lively, affectionate, and curious young cat. She’s known for her mischievous streak and endless energy — always chasing toys, cuddling her siblings, and greeting visitors with her gentle purr. Despite her tough start in life, her joyful personality shines through in everything she does.
