This Kitten Was Born Without Elbow Joints. Months Later Her Transformation Is Incredible!

The idea was that Marnie would foster the tiny kitten. It didn’t take long for Marnie to fall head over heals! Roo hasn’t let her disability stop her from getting around and exploring.

To walk, she has learned to use her hind legs. That is probably how she got her name – Roo. She sort of hops, like a kangaroo.

Marnie said that Roo gets into ‘trouble’ just fine! While Roo may not be able to walk on her front legs, she can still use them a little.
