A total of four adorable kittens and their mama found refuge under a tree in Crystal’s backyard. These adorable fuzzballs were not used to people and they were quick to show Crystal just how feisty they are!

Mama cat was a gorgeous black fluffball and although she was hissing at Crystal, she still let her assess her kittens.
Crystal took each kitten and made sure these feisty fur balls were healthy. Unfortunately, one of the kittens seemed to have an eye infection and Crystal decided to bring them inside her house as soon as possible.

She made a cozy spot for the little furry family, however, she soon noticed something heartbreaking.
The tiny tabby kitten with the eye infection couldn’t walk! The poor soul was only able to move her back legs, while her front paws were completely flat on the floor.

Worried, Crystal immediately made an appointment with her vet. The next morning the whole furry family was in the animal hospital.
Dr. Neal examined the kitten and told Crystal that the poor baby’s muscles were just stiff, causing her front paws to seem flat. The good news was that with a lot of exercise, she would be able to lead a normal cat life!

Crystal named her Scoot since she was constantly scooting around on her hind paws. Fortunately, over the next few days and a lot of exercise, little Scoot started using her front paws and playing around!
Mama cat was still a bit feisty, however, the kittens completely came out of their shells! They were cuddling and playing with Crystal while discovering the world around them.
