Scott is a kitten who was unfortunately born without the use of his hind legs.
His condition moved his owner @kasmorgan , who decided to share his pet’s progress on Tik Tok.
It all started when he was found on the street, near Kas’s house, on August 10. When she noticed the puppy crawling, the woman made the only possible decision: to take him in.
In this way, a solidarity fundraising campaign began.
“I couldn’t just leave Scott outside to fend for himself, so I brought him in to be safe. I bathed him to get rid of fleas and put him in a bed with a heating pad. I’ll be happy to post any receipts from vet visits if I can raise enough to see this baby! Please follow me so I can build a following to start a breeder fund to financially support this sweet baby. It’s going to be a long and expensive road ahead,” Kas wrote in the first post about the kitten.
Internet users then embraced the cause and began helping Scott with treatments, snacks, gifts and even a wheelchair.
Then on August 19th the long-awaited video was published by the guardian, it was the baby taking his first steps and learning to use his car seat donated by internet user Cristle.
At first, Kas needed to help and encourage his son, who still doesn’t understand the real purpose of the car seat since he was born with the disability.
But with patience, love, and dedication, Scott is getting closer to his ‘freedom’ every day. It’s true that this chair won’t be for life, as the feline will grow.
For now, he’s taking the opportunity to learn to play and get to know the rest of the house without having to be taken from one room to another.
The video has been a success, already having over 1.8 million views and being featured in Newsweek . Internet users were also thrilled with the little one’s achievement.
“Oh my God, I’m going to cry, you are such a beautiful person to save this baby.”
“Go, Scott! You can do it.”
“I’ll wait a few days… Scott will be spinning like crazy.”
According to Newsweek, this will not be the only measure to help the pet.
Kas plans another visit to the vet to ask about possible acupuncture and physical therapy treatments.
“He’s made a lot of progress since day one,” he said.
The two are still learning together and are adapting to this unusual situation.
The guardian explained that she lets him figure things out on his own to promote his independence, but she is there to support him every step of the way.
