I'm new here and my husband has rescued a kitten (approx. 5-8 wks old) from a barn. Both of his back legs do not work. Took him to vet and was told that it is a birth defect and other than his legs and fleas, he is healthy. They didn't give me anymore to go on, as far as care. He is eating canned food right now. He is going to the bathroom, but is incontinent, so is quite messy. I've been using baby wipes to keep him clean. We believe that he deserves to have a chance at life, so my husband is interested in building him a wheelchair. He has grown accustomed to not having the use of his legs and gets around quite well. He is very playful and loves to cuddle. We've only had him a couple of days, so he doesn't have a name yet. If anyone has any suggestions on his care and ideas for a wheelchair, they will be greatly appreciated.
